This helped so much! I thought that after 12 months it would be made public and everyone could copy my product. Knowing that it will not be reviewed by the USPTO until its a non-provisional patent is awesome! Huge help!

While watching this video, I had an idea on how to improve my existing invention. This was unexpected. You guys are amazing!

THE ROCK, OLDER WITH GLASSES AND BEARD?

👏Amasing guest : encouraging : "don't be paralyzed by fear to start " - that is what I have been experiencing .Thanks for this fantastic guest , and for your great channel! - first of all .

Yes am here to learn as much as I can. Soon to be a student and I can't wait to give my testimony here!

Videos like this are spot on

Right on ! Thanks guys ! Great video !

This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Thank You!

thanks for sharing. greatly appreciate it.

Thanks guys, that was fantastic info

Thank you guys. This is really helpful

This was very helpful and probably video I have seen on this thus far.

Two questions: 1) If your concept needs utility protection and also has multiple design applications that need coverage, how many PPAs do you file? Would it be one for each separate design, plus another for the utility? Or can it all go in one PPA? 2) Are PPAs renewable after the year, and every year thereafter? Or is filing a patent application the only next step to keep things going after a PPA has expired? If PPAs can be renewed, does that mean indefinitely?

Such solid information!!!

great vid thank you so much for these uploads.

dag i accidentally skipped the ad about the malls, can someone comment the link

regarding pics, what if it's software? A process/method??

Any ideas the features on figure sections in patent art are featured in the 100's+? feels like some patents skip a whole bunch of numbers between 10-100

Can you have drawings and descriptions of variations of your patent. Example, a part that can be molded or attached to said product.

I understand when you state that PPA's aren't published or made public, but once the PPA is submitted and out of your controlled access - what is the chain of custody that prevents your idea from being copied?

Very useful. Thank you.

AWESOME ! ! ! ! !

Can I get a PPA on a device which combines two already patented products to use them in a different way?

Another great video!😁👍

Dear InventRight, if i need to file a subsequent PPA, improving on the prior, having better embodiments , how do we go about it? Does the subsequent PPA invalidate the prior and does the prior act against the subsequent by being a prior art?

Hi Andrew, you guys are the best. Quick question, can I put multiple inventions in one Provisional?

Within 12 mo., the PPA can be turned into an US non-provisional patent. *BUT* Is the idea still patentable in other countries?, since I disclosed it myself to various people, while it was a PPA, as I tried to sell it. Thanks!

This has been extremely helpful, tysm 💜! How much does it cost to file a PPA?

Hi Andrew, Hi Damon, thanks for this, very helpful. Im a little daunted by the the process of patent searching, to check if my idea/s exist. Ive had a go, there are multiple websites to check, and are 1000's of patents to look through. Are there any affordable services that either you guys offer, or you can recommend? It would be handy to see a video on the process (unless you have one). Many thanks again.

so helpful

I don't know if you can answer this question, My idea could be designed one way and will work with many different product brands. Or my idea can be designed in a way to work with one and make it Brand-specific. Do I need 2 PPA's filed? or should I add this as a feature in my 1st PPA? Went through a lot of the video library before I asked this question. Thanks!

OK guys this answered some questions I had, thanks, very good stuff. One question, you mentioned that an addition ( you gave an example of a paragraph) could be added. Were you referring to adding changes prior to sending it in or as an addendum after its already been sent and filed? Are addendums allowed? Thx.

About how much the fee cost?

Thank you

My product is overmolded. How should it be drawn when parts are embedded and not visible? Is there a easier way other than cross -sectioning which does not fully depict my embedded parts?

Should you also state that the size can vary or put specific measurements?

@inventRightTV what are the top companies to go through to get your invention created and patented ?

Great.

I tried to patent my computer sodtware code and I couldnt upload the code as one file.

Very useful guys. Thanks. It was interesting to hear ppa’s aren’t public or published. I thought the ppa would be readily available for public viewing. And that then people might review ppa’s and could tweak a version of it to skirt the ppa filed. What is the reason for it being non public? When someone searches for full patents to see if their idea has been patented previously, they can view the database. How would you know then if a similar ppa has been filed and thus the idea has been date saved? If someone filed a ppa or full patent, would the patent office review all parents and ppa and say the idea already exists if the same/similar idea is a ppa or full patent? Regards, Ben

Is there anyway to get a store/merchant to give them the name of ONE of their manufacturers for ONE out of probably 5,000 items that they sell? Would it help to say I’m a small business (of 1) or just pretend to be a regular person?

Can you publicly disclose sell publish advertise etc your product during the 12month patent pending period? If your product is “patent pending” can you sell it during that 12month period before you acquire a non provisional patent/utility patent ???

My ppa was challenged so how is it nobody looks at them?
