Whenever you have come up with a unique idea or invention of your own, you should definitely do all you can to protect your work and prevent others from taking it and deriving benefit from it. After all, if your idea or invention is valuable to you, it may be valuable enough for someone else to steal. That means you owe it to yourself to apply for a patent for your idea or invention. The problem is, applying for a patent takes time and money. In the meantime, however, there is a way to protect yourself while you wait for the patent to come through and become official. The best way to do that is to register and deposit your patent application through CopyrightDrive.com.
