For most individuals and small scale startups most of the time, any involvement with patents and patenting is virtually certain to end up as a net loss of time, energy, money, and sanity.

One reason for this is the outrageously wrong urban lore involving patents and patenting. A second involves the outright scams which inevitably surround "inventions" and "inventing". 

A third is that the economic breakeven needed to recover patent costs is something between $12,000,000.00 and $40,000,000 in gross sales.

It is ludicrously absurd to try and patent a million dollar idea.

This library explores many tested and fully proven real-world alternates to patents and patenting.
