Ask Reddit: How do you file your patents?
If you've ever filed a patent, how did you do it? Did you just hire a patent attorney, or are there any cheaper shortcuts? How much did it cost?

I don't know what exactly you're looking for, but everybody I know who has filed patents, has done so via provisional patents first (cheap and easy, and gives you a year to file full patent, AFAIK).
That's US patents only, don't know about other regions, or filing non-provisional patents.

Heh. How embarassing...
So far we have 5 comments related to the Ask Reddit bit and not a single answer to the actual question. This is sad.
I'm sorry, and forgive my presumptuousness, but...did you title this Ask Reddit??
At first, I thought this was sarcasm; too many people submit questions that are trivial or can easily be googled.
Not sure though...
This is not Reddit!
This is Spartaa!!! er Hacker News....
