Can I apply for a patent?

An inventor can apply for his own patent. No "legal" skills required to file the application. The federal law also requires patent examiners at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to help individual inventors who apply for patents without a lawyer's help. You can file electronically as a Registered or Unregistered eFiler on www.USPTO.gov. You may also consider filing a provisional patent application pursuing a patent.
