Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I have watched the wheel chair handycaped for years and often thought that it would improve their life style if a means to go to the bathroom was made available as a wheel chair fixture.I submitted several drawings and notes to United Patend Resources describing my idea as applied to wheel chairs calling my invention Porta-Pott.

With in hours I received a phone call from a Mr. Steve Bach representing UPR . his comments were very incouraging and he Mr. Bach ask for more information about the Porta-Pott.

About a week later I received a letter explaining that we (UPR and me) need to move fast and that 795.00 would start the process. About 2 weeks I received a New Product Portfolio out lining all my options regarding start up cost.

Now a payment of 10,000.00 is required to get started. I called Mr. Bach and he suggested that I ask family members, friends, my boss and also suggested that I take a lone on my house. Also if I wanted a China Patent that 20,000.00 would be needed to secure the patent in China.

The Truth about Patenting Your Idea

#2UPDATE Employee

Sat, January 10, 2009

You will have to put money into your own idea. We contract for a wide range of patenting services, such as patent searches, legal opinions, professional artwork, and patent filing and prosecution. Our fees cover the fees of the patent attorneys, researchers, draftsmen, and US or foreign patent office fees, not just what the USPTO charges. Please understand that there will be expenses involved. Don't expect that just because it may be a good idea that everyone's going to give you a free ride. Repectfully submitted, Amanda Hunt
