But, not one of the items you listed is in use by 10% of the players from any one manufacture
The biggest problem with pool-compared to golf,or tennis
All items on that list can be used for no, or little cost.
Not the case,but if you are using a "house-cue" you don't need a case!
I like to play pool with balls sometimes, just when I feel fancy.
You can file a provisional application for a patent for $130.00. If it is granted, you will have year to file a formal patent. During that time you can market your idea with the words patent pending.
You can take pictures, send them to yourself to record prior art. Any kind of agreement can be broken, any kind of patent can be infringed upon. If you don't have the cash to fight it in court... your rights won't mean zip, nada, nothing.
Good Luck...

I believe, and I could be wrong here but of all the items within the world of pool, no product is more recognizable or mainstream than Tweeten's Master Chalk, if I must be specific: blue.
Most players do not buy chalk unless they have a home table, they used provided chalk so a debate could be had that if they use it they buy it by way of the cost of the table rent. I think it is in fact part of the table cost so in my opinion there is one item by one manufacturer that gets bought (consumed) by more than 50% of the players!
actually it's $65
For a micro entity, which an individual with an income of less than $250,000 a year is, it is only $65 to file a provisional patent. It's easier to do for a little more money going through a patent attorney, but you can do it for $65 if you file it yourself.

yes...
A provisional patent gives you the right to sell the invention during the one year period.
You must file for the standard utility patent which requires proof of a due diligence search for existing patents that are similar and a specific description of how your invention is different or improves on existing similar patents within that year. I believe it is $365 to file for the standard utility patent for a micro entity.

not good any more...
In 2010 they changed patent law. It is no longer about who comes out with the idea first but whoever patents it first.
Sending it to yourself registered mail and not opening it is even more useless than it was in the past.

Two words - Master Chalk. Made by Tweetens, the largest company in the pool world.
True words, I have an item I am getting a patent on, and ya, NEED the NDA from the patent attorney.

WOW, I need that guy, I paid $1500 through my attorney, I opted for the attorney route because they understand how to describe the product better then I do, use big words and stuff. I found that having an patent attorney is well worth it. oh, and my utility patent is going to be around 7k
