As I mentioned, Mr. Fat Elvis, ours was a "process" that utilized existing technologies. Heck, as far as I know, other people were using the same "process" that we patented ... we just filed the patent in order to create value in the company. And, because no one else had taken the time or initiative to file previously, we go it through. It cost a lot of money, though ... not sure it was worth it in the end.

So far as I am aware, the process must be unique and withstand a search ... the search is the most expensive part, as I recall. What am I saying? Every part was expensive.

As for the "field" in which the process would be applied, I'm not certain you could patent that part. In other words, it's the unique process itself that can be patented ... not the application. Then again, I'm not a patent attorney so please seek professional guidance.
