Where do I go to find grants to get legal help to safeguard my designs, and then enlarge my income and business by selling my design idea to a major retailer/manufacturer?

Coriolis, I would just re-emphisize OCDiviorceLawyer's warning for patent
issues. Patents have near countless landmines where a misstep could either
prevent you from getting a patent or start the clock on when you must file
by.

I agree with jtowbin. Tread carefully on patent issues. The advice of
intellectual property counsel is key.

  Hi, Federal grants are typically aimed at specific industries and targeted causes identified by the government, such as scientific and medical research, conservation efforts, and so on. Check out this blog for more information. But other options, like loans, may be available to help. Good luck!
