Preserve patent materials through a notary

You don't say where you had your documents notarized, but I know that when I get a document notarized in New Hampshire, the notary enters the description in a log book, which certainly has dates.

I would suggest that you enter a date next to your signature yourself when the documents are notarized. The notary stamp indicates that the signing and dating was witnessed by a reliable person and a record kept of this witnessing.

Hi Gabor, Thank you for your response.

I am living in California. Everything done by the notary is fine, but no date. Yes, they did write correct thing in a log book that belongs to theirs, but gave us anyt prove of the date. Is it enough when the package is shown in a court if necessary?

Did they do this for free ? Their invoice should give you a date ? If you also record this in your diary, that is another common legal reference.

Hi Jim, We paid cash $20 and didn't get invoice.

Recording in diary requires 2 other experts in the field to sign their names to meet patent idea requirements. But this is my home project, I couldn't get even 1 expert to sign, not mention 2 experts.

And you're sure they don't dispose it in the bin as soon as you leave ? A patent has to be processed, definitely not deposited.

Hi Rene, No, we didn't dispose it in a bin.

We will ask for invoice next week.

Thank you.
