Does anybody have experience with trying to obtain a patent on an idea or design of something? I really hate to go through one of these online services as I hear they make the money. Does anybody have someone they could recommend to call about a patent that will give some good answers? It looks like it takes spending alot of money just to get the ball rolling with no gaurantees.

Thanks in advance.

If you're really serious about it, get a Patent Lawyer.
