1). If You've Got A Good Idea For A Product, Do You Need A Patent? By : Abigail Franks
Once you have your product developed it's time to decide if a patent is worth the trouble. Although in theory, all good ideas should be protected by a patent. Consider the protection however as only the right to allow you to claim the technology, product or ideas as your own. YOU get to do all the protecting. So if you develop a product then someone steals the idea and goes into competition with you, you have the right to sue and defend your patent rights.

2). Do I Need Patent Protection To Establish My Rights To A Great Idea Or Design. By : Abigail Franks
One of the first things to do when you have an idea is to write it down. Documentation is the most important step you can make to in securing future rights to your idea. The documentation needs to be in a tight bound or engineering type notebook. These are like a basic school notebook that pages cannot be added. It's also a good idea to get a notebook that it's also difficult and noticeable if any pages are removed.

3). Publish Your Patent Application? ... or Not. By : Terry Williamson
Infringement and Provisional Damages
There is no action for infringement of your patent until it actually issues. However, through publication of your application, it may be possible to obtain provisional damages for the time between publication of the application and the issuance of the patent. Once your patent issues, infringement can give rise to treble damages and an award of attorney fees.
