Why the US Government Has 5,915 Secret, Classified Patents 

I’ll do a video about bricks if nobody asks for one for 24 hours. Unless you’re Bill Gates-we’re on retainer if he ever needs a bricks video.

Imagine one of these patents was actually about bricks…

This was a VERY good video about Bricks.

Circa 2016: USPTO: "Explain your patent again..." Me: "It's a button that is installed at a desk and causes Diet Coke to appear when pressed." USPTO: *Stamps secret*

Just like how this man has 5915 secret, classified RU-vid channels

A gun that shoots you untill you're dead implies that it knows if you're still alive and won't stop shooting you until it knows you're dead.

"Snoop Dogg level high" *scene transition is white smoke*

*Goes to patent something* Government "It has been patented." Me "Really? I can't find it in the database." G "It has been patented... don't worry about it."

R.I.P Bricks. We loved you, now you're gone :(. You shall be remembered for eternity.

Actually, I know this one nuclear engineer... Whenever he and his team file a patent, they make sure that it's similar enough to sue for patent infringement but different enought that it won't actually work. Apparently this has stopped chinese knockoffs at least once.

It's a really obnoxious part of the law. I was hurt working for the Navy, was fired because of it, and now they won't tell me or my doctors what exactly I worked with. So my advice: if you're smart, or heck if you're not, stay away from the defense industry. Because if things go wrong, they'll Kafka you to hell.

A $10,000 fine doesn't seem to be that big of a deterrent lol

I’m hoping once vaccines are all sorted we can get the scientific community to finally band together and tackle that low cut ankle sock problem.

HAI: Uploads a Government Secrets Video Me: Oh boy BRICKS

He always gets me with the ads I never know he’s talking about a sponsor until it’s over, great transitioning

Mustard: planes Sam from wendover: planes and logistics Sam from hai: *B R I C K S*

That's him officer, the brick guy

Random, hypothetical question: what prevents a patent office clerk/spy from copying these patents and selling them to the highest bidder? Unrelated second hypothetical question: how would one go about getting a job at a patent office? Koalafications are needed?

I feel SO called out with that intro. Every time Sam makes a video about the government or government secrets I think, "are we getting a brick intro?"

0:24 CIA: Wait a minute *Starts watching all the other "bricks" videos*

If I had reasonable suspicion that my invention would get hit with a secrecy order. I would file for the patent, scrutinizing it so there was no errors. Then tell everyone about the invention while the patents going through. Ensure as much people know about it as possible. It's still protected under patent law.

What would happen if you applied for a patent on your invention, without knowing it is already patented, because the patent was secret? They can't grant you the patent, because it is already patented, but they can't tell you they're rejecting it either, because they would need to reveal the existence of the secret patent.

Imagine pattenting something and getting sued by the us goverment

All classified information automatically declassifies after 25 years, with the exception of nuclear information and data granted a special exception. The exceptions are generally for things like a report that would reveal the identity of a spy that is still living, which could risk their safety. Even in those cases, the information can often be released after being redacted.

😎just wait I'll get 690 likes you'll see Edit: i knew it!

I feel like accountability would be improved if the name/purpose of the invention was still required to be public. Maybe censor the inventor so they're not at risk of being kidnapped, but knowing that someone patented the design of a certain weapon doesn't tell you how to make it. It also doesn't mean it's gonna be in the US arsenal. Your invention doesn't have to be functional to be patented, you just have to be first. For all we know "classified weapon" could explode on use.

They want to keep it a secret, but just in case someone finds out about them, they want to make money too.

I’ve been laying bricks for 40 years and even I didn’t know this.

This is the best video about bricks I've found on RU-vid. Great work!

“Really, Really, Snoop Dawg level high.” I’m dying 🤣

GUYS DONT ASK ABOUT BRICKS

theyve got those socks man. theres like a lil tab of rubber on the heel that does a pretty good job of keeping that cloth adhered to your achilles

Had no idea there was so much cool info about bricks 🧱 of all things. Keep up the great work!

Yo always comin out with that fuego brick content

Ah, I see that the clipart budget increased.

I'm deeply disappointed. There's clearly not enough information about bricks in this video!

I've mastered the art of knowing when the ad is starting at the end

The last few sponsor transitions at the end have been quite smooth. You must have found one of those secret patents that tells you how to master the art!

If somebody else comes along and starts making a thing that infringes on a secret patent, what happens?

As a bricklayer, this video was so helpful and informative, thankyou!

that is probably the smoothest ad transition ive seen yet

Ah yes who is responsible for the Zuckerburg robot? We must find out 🤨

And this is why all of my thoughts and inventions I keep to my self ,saving lives and energy and feeding people is not my problem ,not when a patent office is designed for the already rich to steal from the minds of the poor

This and wandavision is all that is keeping me sane

0:25 - _It went zip when it moved and bopped when it stopped and whirred when it stood still. I never knew just what it was, and I guess I never will._ 🤷

I've never been so dissapointed that there was so little bricks 😭

Not going to lie... Was expecting a video about bricks

There are also patents that don't end up on that list. You can file this other order and just delay the release of the issued patent for a year for security review.

I have low cut socks that dont fall off your ankle when you walk but they have stat debuffs, namely: -30% to hole resistance, -70% to post hole functionality, -20% to comfort when wearing gum boots, and finally +50% chance of being mistaken as someone else's socks.

Patents don't exclusively refer to manufacturing processes. They can also refer to finished products. The start of this video indicates otherwise (in error).

Hello Mrs sonia is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategies

This is by far the best brick channel on youtube

"Like Germany sometimes; overly aggresive" and "snoop dogg level high" killed me. And the great transition into sponsership "soooo..." FANTASTIC BRO

Because the town of Eureka is still standing.:v

Sam: "not about bricks" Me: >:( one day

Thank you for making me a brick expert @Half as Interesting

I love how much info i got about brick!

I got to know a lot about bricks 😂

who else thought that the intro was gonna be about bricks

@4:38 HA! Love your videos, keep them coming!

Think about it, if HaI would make a video about bricks, every time he'd start a video with bricks he could use the info card at the top right of the screen to link to a video about actual bricks

"Why the US Government Has 5,915 Secret, Classified Patients..." What a lie, not a hospital or patient in sight... Also please do a video on improving ones eyesight... thanks

me:reads title me: ok lets look at the brick intro also me: and the comments, cant forget to look at the comments!

I love this continuing thing about bricks lmao. My goodness!

We put some brick accents in our kitchen about a year ago it looks really good (: like the one column is brick now. Looks farmhouse-y

Still waiting for the brick video... Frog up gang where you at?

Who else loves these videos?

Finally a video that's not about bricks! I've been watching all these "Secret US Govt" videos for years and they're always just about bricks. Now I can get back to my job at the CIA.

I hope the guy that makes these videos is living a good life. This is good

Next up on Half As Interesing WHY I WONT DO A BRICKS VIDEO

So generally speaking, one of the main reasons to patent an idea is so you can show the idea to potential investors and have a reasonable expectation that you can protect yourself from the theft of your intellectual property. That's the main reason for my patents, anyway. I'd be pretty angry if I went through the trouble and expense to get a patent on something only to be told by the government that I've got the patent but I can't show my idea to anyone. I understand that the intent is to protect weapons secrets so other governments can't benefit from the research done on things like the Manhattan Project (there were patents involved), but i don't think it's okay to trust the government to tell me that my solar panels can't be produced because I can't show potential investors how they work.

I love how you actually said "Snoop dog level of high" XD

News Flash: HAI channel owner was arrested by FBI after they found out this channel was not about bricks as the editor forgot to put some bricks info in the starting.

Sam: This isn't about bricks Everyone in the comment section: BRICKS!!! 🧱

You know sth is off when you apply for a patent about a product that you've never heard of and get to know a secret patent already exists.

I never thought brick got that much inspiration behind it

But where are the bricks?

There's an easy work-around for inventors: Simply publish the details of your invention before applying for the patent. Inventors are allowed to publicly discuss an idea for a year prior to getting the patent, and in doing so there would be no point to try and classify the patent after the fact.

Damn, I never new the true nature and intricacy of bricks until this vid. Thank you!

mm the bricks in this video have a very fine texture to them, absolutely exquisite!

*Interesting...* No views, but 1 like. Also, there was originally a typo in the title. Instead of "Government", it was "Government *'s* ".

1:16, you put “andfabricated” instead of “and fabricated”.

i never knew that about the brick making proccess thanks hai

0:39 sam says "gizzamagoo" but the screen says "gizzamazoo"

WHY ISNT THIS ABOUT BRINK. I WANT BRINKS

If you happen to make a similar product, will they open up the secret patent or do they just ignore it? Also, can they sue for financial damages or are you non-culpable since there was literally no way to know?

Could you file your patent in another country simultaneously as so to make the secrecy order null and void before they have a chance to try and apply it

Most informational brick video yet!

My First Patent "Thingy" This is my cool gun I made it out of metal and plastic and plutonium it is not a regular gun with foam fins on it. First you make a regular gun then you take the bullets out and pour in your untonium and your powder. Next you wrap it in tinfoil and bake it at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. The you put a toothpick in and ifmetal comes off on it you know it's not done yet so bake it for another 5minutes as needed. They make your roux. Combine water eggs and coffee o make the perfect roux and then mike that together in a blender. then u give it to your nextdoor neighbour to put in his chest freezer for two weeks becaus it's just betterthan a regular one. Then it wil be cooked so at that point t's timefor the egg wash. After mixing together 4 eegs you cn start to brush it on the metal. Bake it again at 40 for 40 minutes, and you shouldt that pointbe able to attach the fins which will make it shoot better. The fins are mad of carbon fiber andfabricated in my studio here in new mexico, and canno be made in a on-sterile environment due to their cool shape.

Such a fantastic video about bricks!

I foresee an actual honest-to-goodness 'bricks' video in exactly 4 weeks.

So 1 or maybe 2 of mine would fall under this classification and I'm confused does the guy still get rights to the laser gun bomb? Or do they steal it and issue fine if u don't cease

misread the title as classified parents, and was pleasantly surprised to find a video about bricks instead

Create something, patent it, if they refuse it, you found one of them.

I find that this presentation you have prepared for us on bricks is very interesting.

I hope we get a full “brick” video one day. It would be fully interesting.
