That is a good idea. Wow, we are getting old. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 203 Posts: 21618 | This goes under things that haven't changed in years, and someone sees something no one else thought to do (or if they did, it still didn't get done.) The U-window air conditioner. This is actually the second video I've seen on this, another one, maybe a month ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igAFM55wp8U It's quieter, you can still open the window if you need to, and even possibly easier install. My other items, are the ketchup bottle being widened and turned up upside down, and a sink strainer made of soft 'rubber' that can be inverted making it super easy to clean. (my experience with plastic or metal ones has never been ideal) Only real derangment going on is people who still believe in Trump |

They are usually just companies that will encourage you because their plan is to sell you the services to get it filed. You will pay them thousands of dollars for patent searches, patent attorneys, and other services that they can sell you even if your idea is ridiculous. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

To expand on the post above, it is indeed all just a sales trap. They "submit" your idea. Try to get you in front of "Shark Tank" types. I once worked with a couple former employees there. One idea was lights around the toilet bowl which I saw 30 years or so later. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |
