So I did a test on a patent search, an idea I had, but never really had time to try out. So I figured what a great time to check out the US Patent website. The first thing I did was checked out the internet for my idea.

I went to Google, I typed in several keyword search combos of my idea to see if there were any similar ideas out there like it. I did find some gadgets that did what mine would do essentially, but theirs hade to be replaced every week or so. The point to mine is no replacing, only add a solution you can do from home and that is it. Plus I noticed some of these gadgets had no patent.

Last I went to the US Patent website, and then did my search which is free. I typed in the keywords that made sense and found a device that was no where near the same as mine.

So this search turned out well for me.

You may want to make sure you do a thorough search when looking for similar products already on the market that may match yours. No matter what, try and have fun…
