OK Heenster, I thought maybe you just type slow, but it's obvious all you want to do is run around this board lifting your leg and pizzin' on folks. So to help you out I got a little info on why to patent. Let me know when you finished reading.....
If your idea is worth stealing, it is worth protecting.
Patents protect improvements to products, compositions, machines and processes, and cover business methods and software.
Without a patent, others do not have to pay you to make, sell or use your invention. With a patent, you own your idea. You can sell or license your rights. Or you can use a patent in business to be the exclusive source.
You can protect names, logo designs, initials and slogans as trademarks. Written material, artistic works, video and music are protected by copyright.
