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!

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

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 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!

@iamMartinDimitrov

Hey Chris, I agree that you can definitely do it on your own. The only reason I used an attorney on my non-provisional is because specifically the claims and the way they are worded and structured has a lot of importance in the event of patent enforcement. If I were you, I'd maybe just talk to a patent lawyer or spend a few hundred bucks to make sure your claims are done correctly. But I love your attitude and drive, best of luck!

Yes, I've been advised that a patent is only a tool to use in court after some one copies your idea. If they are manufacturing overseas, it can be expensive and difficult to prosecute. He said the best way is just to make it and market it faster and cheaper than any copycat can. Sorry it sounds a bit negative but that was the advise.

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.

@@selinane2Seli-zw3pz you dont know how patients work. If you submit for one and the idea is already patented you won't be issued a patent. Even if the patent is expired. You have to change yours or prove yours is different and better in some way. An LED light bulb is a perfect example. If you submitted for patent against the same monofilament without any change or real benefit, you wont be issued a patent. If you submit for patent against the same monofilament but replaced with a light emitting diode (led), you will be issued a patent for an LED light bulb. Educate yourself before you get deep into patents. Could cost lots of money and wasted time.

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???

Saludos de JOACIN MONTOYA, inventor de escritura global..

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
