This is a very accurate video on costs. I just got my patent and the numbers here are spot on! Good work.

Your youth and maturity are amazing. You're smart, honest and helpful. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. 😊

Thank you for your time. My idea is so simple but useful. I’ve never seen anything like it. Any and all help is appreciated. Great vid

Wow 👏 👏 👏! No extra info that distracts from main focus Well done TY

This is an incredibly helpful video and has cleared up a TON of questions for me!!

I've been searching for similar videos all day, and this is by far the most helpful one. No fluff, just the good stuff. Thanks so much for making such a kick-ass video man. Can't wait for your next one! :-)

Finally someone who didn't beat around the bush thank you!!!

Great video, looking to start my own so really appreciate it. Congrats on the patent!

Your knowledge based on actual experience and also honest feedback are very reliable. Thank you very much!!

Thank you man, best of luck in your endeavors!

Bro, thank you so much! This video was to the point, concise, understandable and accurate, all of which are extremely important when you're trying to patent a product. THANK YOU!!!

Holy c***, this is the most beneficial thing in the world! I looked through USPTO to learn how to file a patent and it did not go well. Everything is thrown at you, so many things, and so many things to read! This video helped tremendiously! I will start my process on patent my idea!

Well done! Concise, informative, and accurate!

I have already completed my provisional patent for my invention. I am now in the process of completing my non-provisional patent for my utility patent (it is a bath product)... it is VERY tedious and stressful trying to sort out all the details and everything else that the USPTO requires...BUT I am going to try to keep focused and do it ALL on my own. Patent attorneys are just plain too expensive! The USPTO has help services (on the phone or through email) that are useful. I feel I can do this all on my own.... and so can others!

Thanks a lot brother...i watched this video first and i am sure i need not go to any other now ... it's a complete package ... You cleared it all ..glad i came here first

Thank you for this video! It has helped me out a lot to file a patent application. I went pro se and non-provisional first and got patented, but everything you mentioned in this video had been taken into consideration and spewed back to me, mostly through tears on my end...but worth it in the end!!!

Such an informative video! Thank you for posting!

Very clear and concise video. I appreciate it

5:07 "In order to get a patent you have to think up something completely new that no one has created before." I have been told you can actually take an existing product, improve it somehow, and still get a patent.

I'm here from Trinidad!! 🇹🇹🇹🇹Great video, very helpful for me. Got alot of products in development that will need usa patent. Thank alot!!✌🏾✌🏾

This the best video on the topic as the presenter is very clear about each step and cost.

Awesome information 🙌🏾thank you so much!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You are spot on amazingly better advice than people who claim to have years of experience

Really well done on the process and costs.

Damn those fees are HIGH. Great vid. Good luck with your business. I just followed the USPTO tutorial vid on provisional patents thanks to u 🙏

Can you make a video on how you managed to turn an idea to a prototype? Like how do you reach out to companies/people to work on the design...etc

thank you for the number break downs man, great info

Thanks so much for the step by step process 🙏

Thank you, very well and simply explained. Best of luck to you with all your endeavours.

This is gold thank you for that!!!!

Awesome! Great video and advice!

Thanks for sharing such valuable information

Thanks for making the video and sharing your experiences in an interesting way

Awesome info, thank you so much

Great info, thanks for making this video

Awesome video. I'm from Belize and was thinking to patent a few ideas so I have learnt a lot and this is a great step. Many questions answered in one video. Thanks bro!

Great video very helpful thanks bud

Thanks for this great video. Really helpful !

Super helpful, thanks!

Great video!!!! Thank you

Finally got mine... now trying to make the product, which is the hardest part.

Thanks for the very informative video, brother.

Excellent job sir! Very helpful information

Thanks bro this video is really helpful for me

Good video. Helped me thoroughly.

Thanks for the video; it's great info to get started

Thanks. Good job!

Great informational video 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Awesome video brotha! Thanks for the insight into how to move past the provisional. Right now I'm working on my PPA but this was a great breakdown of future costs if I decide to go this route. Hopefully my license company will foot the bill if we decide to get the utility patent!

Nice work. Really one of the most informative videos out there. If I can add to your comments. You can get a patent if someone else has a similar product. Your idea/product must have a significant difference or use from the existing patent. Also if someone had a patent and let it expire or has not paid their extension fees causing the patent to expire, you can submit against that patent. Just saying so people are not put off from trying. if you don't try, you can't make the product successful. Don't give up.

Very nicely explained

Great video. This idea is gonna change the game

Appreciate your honesty

Bright Man thanks for the advice 👍

Thanks great info

Thank you for this video

Thanks for the video

huge thanks

Thanks for info

Nice job. thanks for info.

I subscribed because of this video 🏋🏻‍♂️👍

Thank youuu Martin!

Nice. Keep it up.

Amazing achievement, good job! Should I finish my design first and show a photo of prototype to the USPTO? should I hire an industrial designer?

Thank you very much. :)

I have to many ideas to be waiting on this , its my money and i need it now !!!

I had investigated all this for over a year - great straight to the point video - and yes, accurate 👍 In my own case, in this 'dog eat dog' world - copyright infringement, attorneys fees, etc - and 'make me' - I just decided to self produce, market, and sell on my own. If someone copies my product I cant stop them, but most likely couldnt anyway, lol

Thanks for the video! And btw you're so handsome 😍

Thanks for this

Thanks so much for posting! The best videos around! How did you select a manufacturer?

Thx so much

Very useful.

Great video, not happy talk just straight to the point information.

Good job bro be proud

Thank you

Have you done any other videos on the process on finding the lawyer, developing the product & so forth?

Thank you bro I’m looking to get mine

Thank you......

Walio great video

This will be the last time someone will tell me I can't possibly draft, file, successfully respond to office actions, and get awarded a utility patent myself before I prove them wrong.

Thanks

THANKS VERY MUCH

Excellent instructional and very helpful to newbies! I've written and filed several provisional patents, and followed one of them up with a non-provisional patent, doing all of it myself (lots of research, reading books on patenting, and it helps that I work with AutoCAD in my job in civil engineering). I'd typically avoid paying a lawyer if at all possible. If you have an OCD-type sense for nitpicking details you can beat a lawyer at his game LOL. Anyway, some lawyers might cut their fees if you have done most of the legwork yourself, have clean drawings and precise descriptions etc. The only thing that would have been more helpful to this video is to tell people if you're actually making any money. Having put out 30 grand just for the patent, you'll also need to put out cash for marketing etc. After all's set and done, what kind of money are you making on this invention roughly, or are you still upside down. Why spend all this time and money on something that, at the end, will only make you nickels and dimes? Hard to imagine that you can sell your product by the millions and make real dough???

Martin, did it end up costing you more in the long run because you filed the provisional yourself? Or is it just more time consuming? Thx.

Great Information! Thank you! How did you write out your Claims? That's my issue.

Thank you for sharing. I was looking for design patent. The software patent wizard currently is only for utility patent.

Was it worth your 30k? And thank you! Also do you have a video on how to prototype or source materials?

Dude. Got so many ideas

oh man, I have no chance to patent anything of what I know with that costs 🙄😣 thanks thou, really informative video!

You wanna go straight to a utility patent more power to you. Thanks

Good video

What you are saying do you help with the steps before the lawyer

I almost went for this only a few things stopped me; - I'm here in Europe. If you mail details of your application less any legal cover, anyone can copy you, including the recipient of your mail - if you mail your idea it will be null and void as patent and provisional applications must be sent via special encrypted e-mail otherwise it is considered in the public domain the moment you hit the send button as the internet is not safe. It looks like you submit your stuff via patent wizard by regular e-mail in the US. As said, that way it is considered as having hit the public domain and can no longer be patented.

Did you market fit your product before getting the patent done? Or did you get it patented before getting it out to the public?

I’m about to go through this journey now. I had no clue that it could cost that much. 😬

Thanks for your video im almost ready to start the patent application process. My prototype is almost done. How did you test the market for your idea before you got your patent?

Congrats on the patent, that's awesome! I am trying to write a provisional patent myself and don't have the money to hire a lawyer. I have a question ; when writing the detailed description do I include the numbers of the labeled drawings in the description paragraph when mentioning the items? Also can I use black and white photos instead of line drawings for a provisional? Thanks for any light you can shed on this mysterious process.

How to file a patent for a utility in the uspto platform step by step explanation

Very impressive considering your age! Did you incorporate (when?) or run as a small business? So when did you start to sell the product? While you had the provisional patent? Thanks for sharing.

I have an idea for an invention that will sell out fast. You know the O Cedar mop and bucket with the spinner you step on to wring out the mop? We need a manual washing machine that works like that. If there is a cyber attack or major black out, how will we wash our clothes? And think of all the tiny homes that want to live off grid? I know this idea is a winner. We really only need the strainer/spinner device to fit over a bath tub and the bath tub can be the basin for the washing machine. You run the water, add detergent, soak the clothes than agitate the clothes with the spinner. There should be a way to raise or lower the spinner whether you need an agitator or strain to shake off the water. The, you can either run the shower over the clothes to rinse them or a water hose but then they will need to be spun again to throw off the excess water untill all the detergent and dirt have been rinsed out. I bet this will get your clothes leaner than an electric machine
