How to Patent a cartoon character !!! How to patent a cartoon character.

Hire a patent lawyer or a patent search firm to perform a thorough patent search for you. You can do the patent work yourself but hiring a patent lawyer and a patent search firm is highly recommended. A patent search ensures that your character was not patented years before and can identify ideas that are very similar to yours that already have patents.

After the patent search is completed a patent lawyer will file the patent for you. Pretty soon your cartoon character will be patented and you can begin shopping your cartoon idea around for a sponsor. If someone steals your patented cartoon character or produces something very similar to your idea you can go right back to your patent lawyer and file a lawsuit for patent infringement.
