@NickPuleo but even filing for patents isn't cheap. I spoke to someone on Monday who had 5, and he said each cost about $100k1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@DaveVoyles Sounds high. Looks like it depends on exactly what you want to patent, how long, & you pay over time. http://1.usa.gov/13Vc1tY2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
