I clicked on your link and a screen popped up telling me that the site was unavailable ! Is it because I'm living in totalitarian Canada ? And where are you located?
This is spot-on advice. I ran into each of these obstacles before getting my patent approved. The first attorney didn’t interview the patent office attorney making unnecessary mistakes. He changed the wording, making it very difficult to read. I didn’t take into account the cost of the office actions. You live, you learn.
I have a patent and I'm in the process of a potential deal with a big company. I have more ideas I want to patent as well and thought about creating a company. Would you recommend I start an LLC and make a team before making any deals?
I’ve got an electrical invention that would take the world by storm for residential, commercial and industrial. I’ve built 2 prototypes and have videos of them. But I don’t have hardly any money to get a patent. Don’t trust telling anyone about it. I built the first prototype in 2018 and another in 2022. There is nothing out there like it and I would go world wide. I’m just stuck with being broke and insecure because n who to trust with it
Stephan, thank you sir so much for the incredibly insightful information. As a younger individual trying my damndest to make something of myself this is a god sent. It’s incredibly hard to find anyone who knows the slightest about these finer detailed items. I really appreciate the content and wish me luck.
Really appreciate your defining lawyer speak! I'm not not inventing something from scratch that you're putting me through here. Darn I see Edison had friends! I only have a idea how something most people use daily could be tweaked. I haven't designed it as it's just the thought. Yet now after watching this I can see why I haven't been able to find my idea implemented. Lots of sharks in the water
I'm a complete noob at this invention stuff, I have a whack ton of ideas as well as a few prototypes... and I still find this whole process confusing as hell. Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue where to start???
Good to have one. But when do you need them is the question! - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder ( Call, email, book an appointment or request more info about how we can help by visiting us here. inventright.com/contact/ )
Wow ....I am very glad I clicked on this video....... I have several valuable ideas that I need to protect I want to learn as much as I can before I even get close to a professional...
Thank you for the time you spent making this video for people like us. I have a question: how do I get started by find a patent attorney in my home town?
It is not necessary to work with a local patent attorney - there are other more important factors! That said, you can search for patent attorneys locally using a tool that our friends at IDiyas made: idiyas.com/find/attorneys
There's a decent chance that my blind spot cameras on vehicles were infringed upon. The time frame fits perfectly. I used an ex-patent examiner attorney firm. I'm highly suspicious now. There are quite a few concepts that are really disruptive. Since I've already might have been stolen what additional routes can I take with patents that could be profitable like the above mentioned.
First of all, I should do a video just on this topic. Thank you so much for commenting. I don’t think this happens very often but you do have a few options. Please remember, companies are working on the same idea at times. And I know your law firm was not involved in any type of shenanigans.
That may or may not be the case. I think I’ve more been on the radar of techies and this is certainly an easy one to take for the logic you mentioned. It is a technology that should have been out years ago. Inventions are obvious until they’re not. This one is an easy one to implement quickly. I cannot confirm where the leak could have been or yes for sure that there was a leak. I’ve had a few others exactly as mine taken. More obvious notes on my phone. I think ideas are stolen more than you realize especially when you’re on the radar. Anyhow I more than have a willingness to hire you (need no response here I know it’s not a service you normally do) to help get concepts eventually patented that require additional precautions. These certainly fit the bill there. Thanks
I’ve built several prototypes and written the information that will go on a pamphlet inside what I have built. #1 I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about as this is the first literal search I’ve made on how to get a patent. #2 I want to make the information in the pamphlet free but it is the box and the packaging and the idea that that I am wanting to patent. I guess I need to take that information to a patent lawyer and start there but I’m not looking to spend thousands of dollars in the process only to find out I cannot get a patent. I’ll just continue to build and put it out there for all to steel I guess.
Hi. I am wandering if I can use a GSM module as part of my final electronic product. Can a product with a GSM module be patented? I wish I can make it clearer.
Hi Stephen, I read ONE SIMPLE IDEA, and I'm doing it myself. Then I'm going to approach the company and tell them about my great idea. While the patent is pending, I can still sell in the marketplace right? Thank you for any suggestions. I also wanted to file in Canada, can I also do it myself?
Great video! I am thinking about creating a product through Alibaba, but I am afraid that the product idea or design is going to be stolen by the designer/manufacturer. The thing is that my product can not be patented. Can I protect my product when discussing the design with the manufacturer?
Good question, how do you protect yourself in an international setting dealing with manufacturers in China. If they take your idea there's nothing you can do.... Please touch on this topic!
Hi Stephen Key I have seen your videos years ago. I want to start again on one invention and would like to have a partner that I can trust. What's the possiblity of you partner with me and help me from beginning . Im.inventing something that would help cake shop business possible more applications. I would like to apply for provisional patent and then crowdfunding then a possible Angel Investor. Just because I'm building a house and I'm running out of money. Thanks Stephen you are doing a wonderful job. By the way I'm in Burleson Texas south of Fort Worth.
Stephen Key I'm running out money because I'm building the house not that I'm inventing something because I'm running out money. Another words my invention is dormant because I'm building the house I made a big mistake with house first.
Can you do these processes on your own. What are the specifics and subtleties to do so. You make reference in the title to the effect about doing all this your own. My teachers always taught me to when writing to make many draft copies and leave spaces between lines for corrections. Peruse ,peruse, peruse and of course ask an AI programmer to make corrections and then some...

I have an idea that will revolutionize the way we get around on foot. but it's just a slight modification of what is out there now. would it be worth the effort to get the idea patented? just curious.
Dear Stephen Keys! I am your fan for years. I have been researching how to write a utility patent for years and have 1 experience filing a patent. However, it was found to be not inventive enough. I have a even greater invention but i always am unable to be confident enough about its inventiveness . I know its new and solves a big problem and its superior to existing methods. But i am always stuck with which embodiment will make it regarded as being inventive enough to the examiner. Is this a common problem with inventors? Any advice how to overcome this bottleneck? I know that with a good engineering team i will be able to come up an embodiment that satisfies the criteria for being awarded a patent.
Thanks so much for this video. I am about to submit a Provisional Patent and your video have help expedite my application. One question - I was looking at a Patent similar to mine but not enough to be an issue and I noted it stated that the Status was Expired - Fee Related, however below it states the Adjusted Expiration was noted as 2031. Do you know if this means it is live or expired?
You need to get help. Call the US PTO customer service. Ask them. Or find a good patent attorney for advice. If you need a recommendation, let me know.
@@inventRight I found out on Google patents that the original patent has expired due to the person not continuing to pay fees. Do you think I should still contact a lawyer or is Google info considered up to date?
Many inventors, abandoned, or do not pay the maintenance fees. Regardless, that invention now is in the public domain. Your invention must have a point of difference in order to obtain a patent.
How do i improve on an existing product. There is a medical device that i noticed that i can make some changes on and it is already owned by a company. How do i go about presenting it.
I had my invention signed and stamped by an Australian Government official (( Justice of the Peace) just to prove I wrote the concept at such and such a time. I don't have faith in the ability to enforce ownership rights across the globe and demand royalties from whoever uses it. I'm in Australia so doubt I'd travel the world taking people to court.
We have so many Australian inventors as members. You can do this. You don't enforce your patents. The companies you license your ideas to will. But really it's not about enforcement, it's about them having distribution and selling. - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder ( Call, email, book an appointment or request more info about how we can help by visiting us here. inventright.com/contact/ )
If you had a product that could be marketed in more than one category like sports and let’s say Disney would you be better off trying to licensing with one company or one company from each category. Thanks
So if I created a product that could be licensed in let’s say sports memorabilia but could also be adapted to something like Star Wars would I be better off licensing to one company to handle both markets or find marketing companies in both areas to market in their respected areas
Maybe I’m not explaining this correctly. When Stephen licensed his Michael Jordan basketball toy that was a sports toy but if you put a picture of Darth Vader on it, it might be considered a Disney toy. Would you use one company to try to license in both areas or license to one company to handle the sports side and one company to handle the Disney side. Hope I explained it better
It’s best to find the company that already has the license. Example:Ohio art had the license of Michael Jordan. I submitted to them a concept using Michael Jordan differently. So Ohio art paid me a royalty and also paid Michael Jordan.
@@inventRight interesting, well I actually know nothing about trying to get a patent. I do have a couple good ideas tho. But I just don't have a clue where to start. Thanks
in 2000 i looked in search bar of the pat office[nothing] for my invention;got a [perv pat in 2001]$75bucks;for it;the pat office was so nice to help me get a [special pat] untill my death;and that pervisonal pat??he's was a older guy at the pat office i talked too then;;he just laughed and said ;well i never heard of that one?? he was really nice??
man I have an idea thats already drawn up for an entire line of stuff and i just need someone to respond backkkk.. Ive reached out to several companies
one idea i have could really be a game changer i feel like, and another i think would do really well in stores such as walmart... But i can't get a response from who I've tried reaching out too
Why does patenting something have so much to do with trying to anticipate and control other peoples actions?! Why can't I just do this my self? How many people do I need to speak through? That, to me, is a red flag. It sounds like it would be easier to just make the product before patenting it. I'm not criticizing you at all, just the process. Thank you for the informatino. It sounds like it would be easier to just make the product
Please note most products that are on the store shelves are not patented. Most product ideas that we see get licensed there’s no issued patent on a provisional patent application, which is easy to do. Hopefully this information is helpful. Please subscribe to our channel if you haven’t already. Thank you so much for asking such a wonderful question.
It's very easy to waste your money with patents. Don't forget patent attorneys get rich out of it - but you will probably not. You might well get a patent granted - your invention can be almost trivial in technical terms - but if there's no significant technical advantage which translates into a commercial proposition, you're wasting your time and money. One day the world will come up with a definition of the level of invention which is more than simply "it's not obvious" and the number of patents will drop by 99%. Then there will be peace in the valley.
So if you're already rich you can get a patent.😂 I mean sure if I try patent a new fork the patent will go smooth no question. But what if I try patent a perpetual motion machine? I'm not saying it works that's not what it is about. I think the patent organization itself will steal my idea. Or my lawyer. And then I might even end up dead.🤣 I mean big ideas I wouldn't even try patenting unless I'm a powerful company already. Well, as you said in your other video, it doesn't always have to be a patent. There are other ways.
@@vcash1112 Then as a kid I thought all you had to do is invent something. In Japan you have that opportunity they support inventors. If you're japanese citizen. But the rest of the world good luck you're on your own. And these so called inventor support you can find online etc. just a scam.
like the vids!! well i did something dumb$$12000 to this company for a invention?? geeezzzz;for years i had them running around my house;people told me for years you better do something with them? ha ha whatever i thought;well i did?? was on the news here in ok for them;hope thier not to silly?? this company in pa never head of them ha ha??like the vids here
@@inventRight well i already signed a contract with them;rats;and thier paid in full??in pa; you prob know them ha ha!should have seen your vids sooner;they said i will change society with them?? what a line?? ha ha;your vids are to the point! like that!!
Your first point is misleading and could use some granularity. A lot of your other advice is quite good. Here’s one example: if you publicly disclose your invention 364 days ago, and if your patent attorney says rush to the patent office - then LISTEN TO HER!!
Yes you can. Patent Agent's can do everything patent attorneys can do except go to court. Keep Inventing! - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder ( Call, email, book an appointment or request more info about how we can help by visiting us here. inventright.com/contact/ )
Hello. I am a 34-year-old young man. I have many inventions and ideas in my mind. I want to enter the United States illegally and implement them. My life is in danger in my own country and I have to do this.😢😢
Create something the whole world said couldn't be done&when US government "agents"find out what you have watch how fast they run with it,take credit for creating it&live like they're high and mighty while insulting the creator of what they said couldn't be done.truely some annoying idiots.
You’re absolutely 100% wrong. It doesn’t take money, it takes knowledge. Reaching out to companies is free. Sometimes you can build your own prototype with things around the house. Putting together an email is also free. Writing a provisional patent application you can do yourself, but you need to file the fee at the US PTO. I think it’s $30. If you cannot afford $30. You should do something else.
The whole process is awful. F-ing lawyers sticking thier grubby grimy fingers in everyone's pocket. Who the F has the money to hire attorneys and "independent" researchers.
I'm a complete noob at this invention stuff, I have a whack ton of ideas as well as a few prototypes... and I still find this whole process confusing as hell. Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue where to start???
There are a lot of steps to commercializing an idea, and a lot of things that can go wrong along the way. You're not wrong to be overwhelmed. Stephen's book "One Simple Idea" breaks down the inventRight process for licensing an idea into 10 simple steps. If you haven't read it yet, we strongly recommend it. If you're serious about making progress, you should consider our coaching program as well. Thank you for watching!
