Registered USPTO patent attorney, J.D. Houvener from Bold Patents Law Firm, explains how to file a design patent application!
Below we have provided resources and timestamps with brief explanations for each step of how to file a design patent application.
Quickly find what you are looking for by clicking on the timestamps below.
➡️ 1:29 How Do you file first? What steps go into filing a patent application?
✔️ First you need to have an invention, and it needs to be patentable.
✔️ Do a worldwide patentability search. (Link below)
✔️ You have a one year grace period to file a patent application for an invention before your rights are completely gone, if you start selling it on the market.
✔️ Inventorship: You have to make sure you own the invention. If your job is closely related to your job, you have to take a look at your employer agreement and make sure your employer doesn’t own the invention.
✔️ You want to determine the eligibility of your idea. Is it patentable? You got to be able to show if there is an inventive step, something truly novel about your invention.
➡️ 4:35 Patentability search consists of two main aspects.
✔️Patent documents are patents that have been filed for and published
✔️Non-patent literature, do a natural language search to see if there is someone similar to your idea.
➡️7:24 Patent office actions
✔️When your patent gets submitted to the patent office, the examiner will do their own search and confirm or deny the search that was done before that ensures the patent is original.
➡️8:01 Monetization
Seek to enforce your patent rights.
Licensing the rights to your patent to other companies to sell.

Together we can incorporate all my ideas into real life. You pay to patent it all in my name, make it, and then sell it all over the world. You have business people, companies, you are experienced in everything. Let's agree on everything and how much to take a percentage of the sales of my inventory products.

J.D., terrific story of Gray v. Bell. Both great inventors, and both actually ended up doing ok - Gray founding the Western Electric Company. Super-engaging video. Not sure how I missed this one earlier. 😊

is it possible to protect a new idea on a video filter, which each software producer could program in their own way? so basically it's a new algorithm idea for something which existed before, but making it so much better

Absolutely. As long as the process/method that you have come up with is novel and not an obvious iteration from something that’s already published/patented, it would be patentable. Schedule a free intro call here: calendly.com/business-consultations/am06-youtube

Is it necessary to take a step towards protecting your idea when going through the prototype process ? How can I protect my idea when working with a company who will work on my prototype.

Yes, you can definitely research and protect your invention with a provisional patent application in most cases. Your idea must be thought out well enough to be at the "invention" stage. Meaning, even if its not built yet, you could describe it in enough detail such that someone could. If you're there - you ought to file. There's no award for first to invent, but instead, whoever is first to file. Set up a 15 min screening session today: calendly.com/business-consultations/am06-youtube

The yelp reviews from this company is very scary. I was looking to hired this company until I saw these yelp reviews.

Read yelp if you are trying to find a good restaurant. Look us up on Google or our attorneys on Avvo please.
