[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 556829, member: 1233"] You can contact the US Patent office to see if they have anything. There may be a fee for this unless you can actually go to a patent library to search yourself. I know that the univ library here is one of the major patent libraries, but I could never make heads or tails from their filing system. I used to work with entrepreneurs who had a product they were trying to market - I consulted for a business development office. I quit because these inventors all wanted me to land contracts with venture capital people, even when their product was really dumb and would never work. I got tired of the abusive attitudes of the people I was supposed to help. I had 3 in a row who left threats on my voicemail because I helped them define a business and marketing plan but didn't get big contracts for them. it was NEVER my job to sell their product or get contracts - it was my job to show them how to go about taking the steps taht would help make them ready to market their items. So you might google the US Patent Office to see what is involved. They were not at all computerized back when I was working with inventors, but that was 10 yrs ago. [/QUOTE]
