Love this question. If you can, build it on your own. If you must hire someone to help you, then be sure to use a nondisclosure agreement (and have an state-licensed business attorney help you draft it). This way, disclosure to the third party to help you prototype will not start the 1-year window.

My question is about researching. What if a person is looking around the net to see if anyone else has thought of the same idea that you may have? You are inputting your idea out there to look if it’s been done already, Not to share or feelers. How do you show the difference? And if someone else has a similar idea going, do they need to be contacted with permission or to confirm? Because then now I’m telling my idea to someone that could possibly get it done before I can .. how do you avoid that ?
@boldpatents Жыл бұрын
The best advice I can give here is to speak with a patent attorney/law firm that is bound to confidentiality about your invention (Both from state bar and the USPTO ethics rules), then they will perform the search for you, and hopefully confirm the invention's novelty/non-obviousness. Otherwise, if you rely on 3rd parties (especially outside an NDA) you are disclosing your invention publicly which starts the 1 year statutory bar as well as opens yourself up for risk of others filing the invention as if it were theirs.

Hi. Thank you for the great video. I have an idea and a prototype, Of course I am not the originator of a similar products work but I have the concept and use it on an household product. There are no similar or I can say its the one and only in the world that uses this concept with different adaptor for use on the household product. But the lawyer I approached said that it cannot be patented because one look its similar to the other tool used on other product or categories. Is there anyway to make the patent possible. This new tool that applied the same principle but has to use a different adaptor in order for it to work. Moreover the product size and categories are totally not the same. For example the steam iron used on the clothes and the steam jet used on the floor cleaning as they used the steam jet principle to eject steam and clean but only for different categories of product.
@boldpatents 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Juz, well - I think you should get a second opinion. It could be that your invention is obvious or is not new - but that determination should only come AFTER doing research and really thinking about the differences that your invention has structurally and functionally. Even beyond that, even if functionality is too similar, you can likely still get a design paten to protect the shape/aesthetic and find some way to protect what you've come up with.

6:08 Unless I'm mistaken, this 1 year period isn't exactly an opportunity to work in the open without concern. Disclosing has the threat that your invention is stolen by somebody with the means to submit an application sooner than you based on the first to file rule. Is that correct?
@boldpatents 3 жыл бұрын
Mike, right you are. I just went to 6:08, and this 1 year statutory period is the grace period you have if you've publicly disclosed, sold, or offered for sale your invention - if its been under one year, then you may still be eligible to file for patent protection, if its been more than 1 year, it is no eligible. You are correct, by waiting and not filing, you take the risk that someone else independently invents the same/similar invention and files before you. However, if someone actulaly "steals" your invention, and you can prove that they derived the invention from you, and they are defrauding the patent office, saying that they invented (when really it was you), there is a process called a derivation proceeding at the PTAB whereby you can demonstrate when, how, and where they learned of your invention and you can take over the ownership of the patent application.

Yes. However, if you have rights in the US, that overseas manufacturer cannot import, use, or sell in the US even if manufactured overeseas - they will be limimted to non-US markets. In order to prevent them from making/using/selling in other countries, you will need to seek patent rights in those countries. A great approach is by using an international treaty called the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

1) removing a claimed element from a patent claim set, YES , that is technically eligible for patenting, however, it is most likely already fully described by that underlying patent (as well as prior art). But, if you are able to define new functionality with fewer elements, then you are on to new patentable subject matter. 2) Adding an internal piece, YES i is technically eligible for patenting, but you will be up against the challenge of whether that additional component is novel and not an obvious addition based on the underlying patent and prior art.

I wonder, can a patent have two peoples names on the form? Or would it need to be a company name?
@boldpatents 3 жыл бұрын
All co-inventors' names MUST be listed on a patent application per the USPTO requirements. If there is a company to which the inventors owe an obligation to assign their rights to - then the company can apply, but there must be a recorded invention assignment to go with it.

@@boldpatents Thank you. that is good to know. I was thinking for people who can not afford a patent, especially a worldwide one, that the inventor could perhaps go to a company, offer the idea with a witness present, and if the company director likes the idea, a contract could be signed to state the eventual patent could include both parties names. A bit risky, perhaps, but if the inventor is broke it could be an idea?

@@sbaxter4207 Sounds risky, but it’s possible. Also note, you’d want to try to get that company to sign an NDA first, and also note that the patent application itself can be funded by a 3rd party, but only inventors and owners may be listed. Email me for more Qs: jd@boldip.com

what if the idea was so big and revolutionary, that no ordinary person could do it, so the idea itself is the patent and I would have to seek out someone like Amazon, sell them the idea, and they can actually fulfill the idea? Could i legally do that? Or do i need to have prototypes? My idea is seriously too big for just some guy to do, itd take millions if not billions of dollars to do

So if my idea requires the use of someone else's technology can I still patent that is it just a matter of paying them to use their product in mine? Also is there a way to sell my idea but still be involved and its development and marketing?
@boldpatents 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, you may be able to get a patent on an improvement of another's technology/product. However, you won't be able to go to market with it without seeking a license from the underlying tech owner. If there's a way to sell just your improvement, you may do that separately without their permission. Example, if you're a custom automobile wheel designer, and you'd like to have it sold with new Ford Mustangs, you can't sell new Ford Mustangs (with your wheels installed) without the dealer's permission. But, you can sell those wheels aftermarket without the dealer's permission. The example isn't perfect, but hope it helps.

@@boldpatents I don't know if I would say it's an improvement upon their technology it would just be using their technology to send info to a CPU. But I also have several other applications for that technology. The owner of the technology is Google. Do you think they would ever let someone like me with no experience or formal education in the related fields be part of the development process for marketing? Also since it is Google would it be better to just sell them the idea after I pack it it and offer and hope I get to be involved in its development or marketing? Also thank you so much for the prompt response

@boldpatents 3 жыл бұрын
Potentially, yes! Method patents are commonly granted by the USPTO. You've got to make sure that if you're going to invest in time/money to acquire patent rights, that the method will be easily detected, so you can spot an infringer and enforce your rights. Sometimes, methods are hard to identify purely from the end product alone, so some inventors decide to keep these methods as trade secret. If you're not sure, you can do the "reverse engineer-ability test". Think, can you take apart the final product/craft and figure out HOW it was done? If YES - then you should try to seek patent protection on it. If NO, then you should likely keep it as a trade secret.

You should hire a patent law firm to research and help you protect your invention by filing a patent application BEFORE speaking with that person or any third parties. At very least, you should hire a local business attorney to draft an enforceable NDA to sign with that wealthy individual before you disclose any aspect of your invention or seek funding.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with the notion that you don't need even a prototype. Unless your only goal is to get a patent vs making money on your invention. Technically, you are right, but that doesn't make it a good idea. If you haven't even made a prototype yet, what are your patent claims based on? What you think in your head your idea will be in the end? Lets say you get your patent based on that, but as you continue prototyping it and getting feedback from intended customers, and find manufacturability concerns. You will likely revise your idea many times through that process. You can easily design your way out from under your own patent's claims. Or worse yet, later find out there isn't actually a market for your invention like you thought there was.
@boldpatents 3 жыл бұрын
Great points. I would generally agree, a prototype is smart - especially if it will help add more detail to a patent search or an application. That said, there are many inventors that have made invented in the same domain/space before and are well aware of how to make/build their invention, they just don’t feel the need to actually make it or prototype it. Yes, for the vast majority, even those who work in the same industry as their invention can gain valuable insights from building a proof of concept and can even surprise themselves with technical hurdles/solutions they discovered that weren’t previously considered.

In addition to having the "CEO/Principal" of the Law firm talks in this video. Good, GREAT! Now, Have him practice his lines over and over again. This way, it seems more "natural." Conclusion. The bottom line is Dash - the audio "game" in this video is so poor, it literally takes away from any other strength you All displayed in your, what was this for again?
