What is the cheapest way to get a patent?

I would suggest you file a Provisional Patent Application (PPA) on your own for about $60 with the US Patent Office. Once you have filed the PPA (which is never examined and isn't a real patent), you have 1 year to claim patent pending'' before you must file your utility patent (maybe $5000 or more).
