You can file for a patent without a working prototype.  However, your description must be very detailed, particularly the part about what you consider to be novel about your invention.  In legal jargon it must describe the invention with "specific particularity," and allow a "person skilled in the art (meaning field of the invention) understand, make and use the invention."

Also, having a detailed description will reduce your legal costs if you hire a patent attorney to help you prepare and file patent application.


A simple patent application can be done at fixed cost of about $3.5-6K, depending on the length and technology.

The Government has departments that look after this. You can also get a private company to do the leg work for you.
