It costs $120 to file a provisional patent and about $8,000-$10,000 in attorney fees to actually file it. Nothing to scoff at, but a far cry from the $80,000 you quote (wondering where you got that number from). Of course, it's free if you decide to write it and file it yourself (although you might want to buy one of the many books that explains how to do it right). -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
