Ok, let's use this opportunity to discuss this subject further.

I guess many of us have these questions:

"If I have a good idea, or developped a good product, I think I need to
have it patented. But, how much would it cost? can I do it by myself or do
I need to hire a lawyer?  Where can I get information about the necessary
steps?"

Does anybody in here made some patents lately in US? and can help to answer
those questions?

I myself, have necessity to walk this patent trail sooner or later,
posponing just by lack of knowledge.
In the past I contacted a patent lawyer company, their cost were so high
($10 thousand) that I forgot about the idea immediately.
