Default Re: Selling an idea...

The technology behind it has been out for several years....its basically just putting it into a different type of casing/packaging and marketing it for a completely different purpose.

I'm certainly no expert on patents, but it doesn't sound to me like your idea will be patentable. But, without specifics it's tough to say for sure. I'd suggest you talk to a patent lawyer and ask him/her about the patentability of your product. If it's possible to patent your idea/product, he can also tell you what you need to do in order to get your idea into a state that is patentable.

Im confused....for example:
Ive seen hundreds of different companies that make those small, buisness card-sized calculators...how do they all manufacture the same product with a different name on them?
Same with office supplies, blank CD's ...ect.
