Where can I get help paying for my invention to be patended and marketed? I have no money at all but I do have a great Idea for an invention.

Friends and family.

You need to get a patient on it first, then you can present it to some firms and try and sell your idea to them.

But remember, even with a patient it is not uncommom at all for a large company to steal the idea and use it, then when you sue them, they spend a few hundred thousand on attorneys to bury you in legal work, that you can't afford to fight.

Hi friend R_Danger here so to answer your question, Is this there is no magical place to turn I myself thought it would be a lot easier then it has been even with a great idea no real place to turn for inventors, there should be better places to turn for help I feel there would be much to benefit if the Government would set up a help site just for inventors, but at this time there's no place like that, the Government does have the small business loan thing's but I tried that what a joke that was; And for as someone helping you like and angel tree investor really no luck there, hate to be the barrier of bad news it's just not easy in no way in getting your idea to market with no money. If you do find that kind of help with no Business plan and probably nothing to put up for collateral, trust me no one wants to help, I feel like you almost helpless at times, I've been working on my way to getting my invention to market and I got a my patent pending only after I inherited money from a lost love one good luck , don't give up on your dream even though it's hard, if you want it bad enough and it's a good idea you will find away nothing is easy in this world that's for sure keep your head up you'll find away for yourself if it's meant to be.. got to be positive R- danger
