- Q. I want to know what I could do to make my Idea safe? It’s Build a Bong, similar to today’s Build a Bear but this is 420.
- A: Hello,
You could apply for a patent, such as via a provisional application for patent, but please note that your idea has to be (1) new and (2) non-obvious, in order to be patentable.
