If you're looking to be the only one to make and sell any invention you've created, you should consider filing a patent request with the US Patent Office.
Although you should hire an experienced Maryland patent attorney to help file your paperwork and defend your patent against anyone willing to steal it, you might want to read up on the following topics to make sure you understand the basics.
A patent protects your invention.
A patent for an invention is a grant of property rights by the U.S. Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention in the United States. The terms "Patent Pending" and "Patent Applied For" are used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed. Patent protection does not start until the actual grant of a patent. Marking of an article as patented, when it is not, is illegal and subject to penalty.
