Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: If you grant an exclusive license to your invention, the IRS treats the revenue as a capital gain, as opposed to ordinary income (which is taxed at a higher rate) per section 1235 of the U.S. tax code. This is different than copyright revenues, so many accountants & CPA's are not aware of this.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Mailing your idea to yourself provides no protection whatsoever. It assumes a court would find you were smart enough to be the inventor but too dumb to know how to send yourself an empty, sealed envelope to get the date stamped, then steam it open later & insert a description of your idea.
