The patent process is extremely complex and requires a great deal of time and care in making sure it's done correctly. Patent attorneys spend years training for that line of work and can assist in the navigation of the process, but of course charge for their services. However, their fees can help you prevent very costly litigation and penalties in the future.

The patent attorney can help you identify whether your idea is even one that CAN be patented, or maybe already IS patented. When it comes to internet sites the process is generally more complex than if you are trying to patent a new construction tool, or type of cooking utensil.

If you choose to proceed on you own or with one of the many advertised "patent assistance" companies you do so at your own peril.

Good luck.
