If you're looking to be the only one to make and sell any invention you've created, you should consider filing a patent request with the US Patent Office.
Although you should hire an experienced Arkansas patent attorney to help file your paperwork and defend your patent against anyone willing to steal it, you might want to read up on the following topics to make sure you understand the basics.
There is a time limit on patent protection.
For applications filed on or after June 8, 1995, utility and plant patents are granted for a term which begins with the date of the grant and usually ends 20 years from the date you first applied for the patent subject to the payment of appropriate maintenance fees. Design patents last 14 years from the date you are granted the patent. Note: Patents in force on June 8 and patents issued thereafter on applications filed prior to June 8, 1995 automatically have a term that is the greater of the twenty year term discussed above or seventeen years from the patent grant.
