In the Beginning

May of 1996, I drove to a local park with my 4 month old daughter Lindsay. Upon arriving at the park she was crying and I noticed her bottle was missing. After searching the car I realized she had thrown the bottle out the window. As the story goes, she wouldn't stop crying, so I turned the car around and started for home. On the way while stopped at red light and baby screaming in my ear, I noticed a convenience store. A thought ran through my mind, "In this world of get it and go, why can't I go into that store and buy a ready to serve baby bottle? They have ready to serve everything else in there!" When I got home I prepared a bottle for Lindsay and wrote down the words "Pre-prepared disposable baby bottle," I also drew a sketch of what I thought the bottle would look like, scanned it into my computer and forgot about it.

This is a great idea! However months turned into years and in November of 2002 while preparing to reformat my computer I ran across the invention file called; Disposable Baby Bottle. As I read the file I thought to myself, "This is a great idea." I called a local patent company that was advertising on TV named Invention Submission Corporation and made an appointment. They accepted my idea and a check for $15,000.00 and told me they would handle everything. After two years of deliberating with the United States Patent and Trade Mark Office commonly known as the USPTO, on May 18, 2004 I was awarded a US Utility Patent for my invention.
