Introduction to Patent Protection 

Thank you very much for sharing ! I'm direct Law.

This was great, thank you!

Very useful information indeed

This is a really good video

thank you so much

This woman is an excellent teacher

This was an awesome and very helpful overview. Thank you very much for offering these videos. I do not see the resources for pro se patent attorneys in a link here or on the uspto site under gipa as referenced. Am I just missing it?

thank you!!

I had just started on Global Intellectual Property (IP) a few days ago with AGA.

what is disclosure excluded from prior art? I did not get it can you explain with an example

Filing...mean the moment you apply for a patebt or the moment your application is confirmed by uspt???

Is it worth for an inventor, with a very limited budget, on his first patent, to go for a PTC application, or just stick with a USPTO application? I live in Canada, and I was thinking to apply simultaneously to CIPO and USPTO -- even this would be quite a stretch for my budget! Thank you!

I think the change from the first inventor to the first to file makes it more dangerous for law firms from stealing ideas... just a guess, what do you guys think?

are there any other certificate courses provided by the USPTO? I completed one USPTO basic patent training but I am unable to download the certificate. Can you help please?

I am seeking to patent my invention which is a new, useful and non-obvious process implemented by computer programs. I am shocked to watch Ms. Shaw's video, when she listed Computer software code into the list of inventions which are not eligible to patent protection. Ms. Shaw, can you provide more information to back up your statement that computer software code are not eligible for patent protection in the US ?

Hello,my name is Sumitra Nayak ,and I am the house prior

does a provisional patent help protect your design. asked another way, is it possible to file a design patent at a later date while being protected by a provisional patent?

Receive is misspelled on video--you have it as recieve, which is incorrect.

If an inventor of a widget files a Patent Application but does not continue with the Non Provisional Application, and the inventor commercially develops the widget and it becomes a household name and everyone knows that it exists, is it considered Prior Art? Meaning, that it is documented from the USPTO that it exists and was filed. It would not be protected but it is no longer novel to be filed in the future either. Are only patented inventions considered Prior Art?

I think that patents originated in the US should be a national priority. Patents protect the invention and help to develop industries that will be protected from other countries and companies that can otherwise profit of it. This 20 years gap favorise the development of the US industries and gives a comparative advantage. Now that the world has become so competitive we cannot risk to loose any patent that we can profit of. The country can neglect the cost of the fees to make inventors and researchers lives easier and this will benefit much more the nation's economy as a whole: new industries, more qualified jobs, more money into the economy, etc. Why to add more stress to a researcher who can decide to "bury" their discovery until they can afford to register it?

These laws should have been updated as time evolves the patent attorneys are stealing from the inventors heavily and it's really benefiting them. The process is too expensive and a lot of Time the hobbists can't come up with 10s of thousands of dollars so the attorney ends up being the one who gets it in the long run that's why they r rich.

Please please help me

4:55 “There is no worldwide patent.” WHY NOT !?

14:23

So someone can come up with an idea, patent it but not actually make it and bar anyone else from making an item of similar idea?

Her lip smacking is so annoying. If she did previous presentations, this should have been spotted.

I wish they had chosen someone else to present this video. She makes a slight lip-smacking sound when she speaks which is super annoying.
