I am a first time inventor and just starting off. I am 19 years old and a full time college student i need to find the cheapest way to get a patent so i can begin to either manufacture my product or sell my product to a large corporation. I need help on this website because it seems to be too good to be true. It says around 1000 dollars for a utility patent and i need to know if that is all i need to protect my idea for what i am trying to accomplish? If your could please help it would be greatly appreciated.
