If you have advanced knowledge on your subject and you can follow directions well, a patent software can be very useful.

However, prior to filing a patent, ask yourself, "What is my objective for this patent?".

Are you looking to bring the patent to market?

Are you looking to sell or license your patent?

Too many inventors spend $10-$20k on a patent prior to knowing whether there is even a demand for what they are patenting.

First, file a provisional patent which you can do for around $210. This gives you 12 months to file your full patent.

Second, go out and get feedback on your patent. If you get positive responses, make a prototype, and if possible, try to get some pre-orders. If you get consistently negative responses you either need to change the way you are presenting it or move on to another idea. Chances are if you are an inventor, this will not be your first or last idea.

Any type of sales you can get initially will give you a good foundation for moving forward.

If you are looking to license your patent to an entrepreneur, retailer, or manufacturer, you can utilize resources like http://www.IdeaBuyer.com which lets you get in front of thousands of companies for less than $30/month and is well worth the investment.

If you are looking to bring it to market, you can utilize the resources available at http://www.startupnation.com to help you do so.
