" 20 questions to ask if you have a great idea or invention" By Michael H. Jester is real world book about how to pursue a real invention.

The questions in extremely short form are:

/will it sell? /legal? /patentable? /copyright?

/trade secret?/patent it? /is it baked?/ easily stolen?

/practical? /start up?/ rights? /steps to a patent?

/ cost? / attorney?/ defend it?/ easy to avoid infringement?

/international patent? /how much money? /information sources?

Surprise! Jester is a patent attorney.

Is it practical? is it baked ? Seems the only questions applicable to Halfbakery ideas. Oh and I know spelling is important to some.

So the halfbaked book would be titled:

" 20 questions to ask, if you have just given away an idea or invention" by any mouse

My book would list the three mentioned and leave the rest blank.
