Cigar accessory patent.

Bob Luken

Lets assume you have an idea for a cigar accessory. How do you find out if this idea already exists without spreading your idea around so much it could get stolen? And how do you patent it?

I would think a conversation with the patent office should be able to handle both sides of this.

Sounds like a good idea. I bet you could find a list of some sort of all the "cigar paraphernalia" patents.

Google has a special patent search that might be the place to start. I typed in "cigar" and it came back with 215,000 hits. This pulls up the actual patent or patent application. Good luck!

while looking for cigar patents I came across a "cigar perfoator". It was the shuriken cutter.

Yea, I would suggest looking into alternative routes of protecting your design. Trademarks for example are cheaper and can last forever provided you continually use the trademark by making your product. Again this is info based on a few weeks in a course I took but it seems legit based on quick research.

btw, the patent would be just for the design.
