We should meet after Don gets back. I haven't looked at the provisional
patent form yet, so I don't know if we need to list all of the inventors
yet, but I want to make sure everyone is covered on ideas they helped
develop.

I also want to make sure we get all of the ideas we think are patentable
described.

BTW Don, the lawyer advised me to do as extensive a search as I can before
filing the real patent. He said with the cost of preparing and filing so
high, there's no sense filing if you don't have a chance to get it.
