Roadmap to Filing a Patent Application 

Am I the only person here that thinks the sounds/looks like an informational video from the 50's?

I absolutely loved the old timey nostalgia.

It's official. The USPTO is the coolest government agency! Their energy is consistently: positive, welcoming, thoroughly helpful and educating. A very much needed breath of fresh air!

Great work on your video! I’ll send this to friends and family who have questions about the process. (I am a patent agent and sometimes it’s useful to have something for those elementary questions)

The opening put me a little on edge. It sounds like something you'd see from Aperture Science

Loved your music too thank you!

Unnecessarily loud foreground music

Entertaining overview, bravo to the creative contributors!

Hey there loved the animation!!!

Hello, who did your deck (graphics)? They are really good. I would like to use them for a project. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! Millionaire status comin soon

You should never patent through an invention marketing company; they will do nothing, or ask too much such as legal ownership of the patent. Getting unknown people involed is a high risk.

Get on with it man!

Having had patents issued by the USPTO, I feel having a German patent issued would be more prestigious and more likely for my inventions to get commercialized.

What if I put my invention out there before applying and someone sees it gets it in the mail and steals my potential Patton?????

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!

Please I want to file or register my patent here in the United States.

I would prefere a video where I'm explained very clear what I need to know, than one with visual effects and music. As for all the advices (read this, read that), they're useless. For example, I am dyslexic & ADD, and I have read lots of materials through Google. Understood nothing!

Hi, could I say the patent will be most likely to be granted if it goes to the publication? I mean as long as there's no objection, then you should get a pass?

I have a huge idea. Need to patent it first.

I want to patent a law the removes every single solitary speck of advertising from this day forward. Facebook, youtube, television, radio, billboards, semi trucks, stock cars... Everything.

Haha such an interesting video

Feels like a hanna barbera cartoon

TWENTY YEARS!! WTF, artist get lifetime PLUS seventy years, ya who is really being 'protected'?

If you are applying for a Provisional Patent Application and filing yourself and you want to upload color pictures and color AutoCad drawings. Which do you click on in the drop down menu to the right of the picture file name that you add just before you click on (Upload & Validate) in the USPTO EFSWedUnregistered site? 1. Drawings-only black and white line drawings. 2. Drawings-other than black and white line drawings. 3. A petition from Applicant to accept Color Drawwings or Color Photographs. Also if you click on this one is there a form to fill out. Please tell me what to do!!!

For a US utility patent how does one differentiate a structure?

Very loud background music

Every government video should be exactly like this!

Background music wasn't to loud to me. Is it hooked up to your surround sound system 🤣🤣🤣

3:47 That plant patent sounded like a joke, but it's a real thing!

NOSTALGIA/MOMENTO🎓.

Hello I have an idea to improve recycling process and can be implemented nationwide if not world wide. It’s a process that would implement existing technology to improve recycling process. Is it logical to try to patent something like this and can it even be patented?

This really didn’t help but thx for the animations

The music is too loud 😕

how can one trust the attorneys? i feel like. this whole process is too complex and old and hasn't been simplified since it was created to fit the modern era.. thats y u dont see lots of inventors.

2015?? pls be aware of the date.

How can you trust a patent Attorney. I went to 2 different ones for different inventions and both of them stoled my ideas!! True Story!!

Cute

BACKGROUND NOISE TOO MUCH NOT ABLE TO HEAR THE VOICE

I am an American living in the Philippines, and this whole process has been a bloody nightmare! None of the document links work. It has become pretty obvious that in order to get a $65 provisional I am going to have to return to the US. Which I can not afford! Thanks for nothing USPTO!!!

I just want to patent my strawberry bbq sauce

That background music is annoying AF!!!! I just need to hear the info plain and clear!!

This was so.. Dharma Initiative

OMG

uh you didn't assist me properly

miss minutes

😁

Help me please. #POW

what the f did I just watch

Annoying background music!

I CAN barely hear wtf you're saying because of your damn music!!!

Seriously , whats with that music. No need for it.

So... to the USPTO we're a bunch of squirrel like rodents? And using a cartoon explanation? What do you think we are, children? Talk about talking down to your audience!

but no business pls! :-)) no methods no business

I think this video was even more useless than the top 10 failed guitar solos.

What pronouns does the squirrel use? He, she, or He-She? These are the important problems the government needs to solve. lol

The most annoying assault on the ears and stupid cartoon presentation on the web. The retro script and presentation are so annoying I couldn't wade through the video. Really ridiculous
