Re: Patents received by FIRST Teams
One of the quickest, cheapest and easiest ways to protect your patentable ideas is whats called a 'poor mans' copywrite.
Take a copy of all of your documentation and put it into an envolope and then go to the post office and have them postmark across each seal of the envelope. As long as the seal remains intact, that envelope becomes a legal sealed and dated document that could be used to prove that you had the idea first.
Many people use this form of copywrite to protect themselves while going through the patent process.
