CAN I PROTECT MY IDEA? (IP - Intellectual Property)		There are opposing views on the value of patent protection. First, a comment on what patent protection is: Your Patent will only give you the right to SUE entities infringing your Patent at some time in the future. Your Patent may have cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, or more. It will cost you many times this to sue for breach of IP and then you'll probably lose if the entity infringing is a large organisation.

What help to sue will I get from:		The Patent Office? Please read their 'small-print'. any Attorney you hired to write your patent application? Please read their 'small-print'.
