What is the name of your state? Ohio
I have an idea for a product that I'd like to patent, but before I begin that process, I have a couple questions that I need answered. Do I need a working prototype of my invention in order to obtain the patent? If I do (this is an invention that should be fairly easy to produce, but I lack the technical know-how myself and would have to seek help in developing the prototype), how do I protect my idea once I approach somebody about assisting me in it's development?
