Is my invention patentable
i have a design that i would like patented for a protective body suit. is this patentable? i only ask because i have family members who attempted to obtain a patent years ago only to find out that it was in the public domain and thus not patentable, and i have done searches using google patents and have found no designs that seem to conflict.
Re: Is my invention patentable
It is not possible to determine whether your invention is patentable until you provide a FULL disclosure (do _NOT_ do this in a public forum!!!!). You need to contact a patent attorney or agent to perform a patent search on the invention to determine whether or not the invention is already out there (we go way beyond GOOGLE in the process of patent searching).
You're welcome to contact me directly; I handle patent matters regularly.
