I have always been fascinated with the copyright process. Through the years I have talked to many people who have had things copyrighted and have gotten a lot of advice and warnings about this system. I know it can be done directly through the copyright office, not sure on the cost, I have heard it can be very expensive, if done properly. I have heard that is is better to go through it with an attorney, to make sure all the T's are crossed and all the I's dotted. I have also heard that many times people go through them and steal ideas from this system, and tweek them just enough to get away with no paying you for your idea. I have heard that you can mail things to yourself to copyright things as well, it apparently works with artwork and things of a simpler nature, not sure if it works with all ideas.
I have also, heard that some people just hook up with a person or corporation to get their ideas out to the public, and work out the money through percentage of sales. I do know this process definitely needs to be done with an attorney, because many bigger companies have no bones about cutting out the middle man. Even in this process however, they can rip you off. Because they have many attorneys at their disposal and definitely know how to legally steal your ideas. It is a daunting process for sure. The long and short of it is this. I am interested in getting a product out there and am not sure of where to turn for advice and help, and I definitely do not want to be taken. So the question to you all is this, what do you know about copyrighting? Beyond that what do you know about the process of being an inventor, or how to put a product into the market? These are things I am very curious about and interested in at this time. I am also very sure that I am not the only one interested in this process and the legal implications.
If you know anything about this process, or if you too are curious about how it works, I would love to hear your thoughts and concerns on this matter. Please feel free to send your input, I am on pins and needles, waiting for an answer, or even a note from some one who may be feeling overwhelmed by this system. Hope you are having a wonderful evening, relax and new week awaits. All my love to you all, as always, diana
