Hey guys, I've got a new topwater bait that is amazing. It incorporates a new idea and I was wondering how hard it is to get a patent on baits?

any info would be great.
thanks

Filing fees, patent attorney fees, and application fees can run anywhere from $4500 - 10000.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin		A patent on a lure is about worthless. Changes so small they make no real difference can be made, and the bait copied, Branf=ding is VERY important. Create the brand, make it desireabloe, and then offer the biat in all it's glory.
