Thank you for such an informative video. Question: If I am making 2 versions of a product..one with a metal buckle and one with plastic, does that require 2 separate patents? Thanks
@PatentToronto3 ай бұрын
Generally no. You can draft a patent application so that it covers minor variations of your invention. Hence, the patent will cover the same invention even if the parts of the invention are made of different materials. In your case, the patent would ideally specify that the buckle could be made of any suitable material such as metal, plastic, bone, tortoise shell or the like.

What is your advice for people with smaller inventions? I have a number of ideas and even prototypes that may be worth hundreds of thousands or a few million in REVENUE if they could reach the right markets. The profits could be significant to myself, but Companies seem to only be searching for products worth millions in PROFITS. If an idea isn't big enough to start an entire company around, and I can't get an established company to buy it... is it just a worthless idea?

Apple computers was started by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak out of a garage where they hand manufactured and sold a single board computer (Apple 1 computer) into a tiny market. The market for personal computers was minuscule at the time, but grew quickly. They could not license the product at the time because the market was too small, so they had to do it themselves. Sometimes, you have to do it yourself and become a manufacturer.

True - the point is, at the time, they decided to become manufacturers because they couldn’t sell their idea any other way. Many inventions are very difficult to license or sell to a company because the market is perceived to be too small or insufficiently profitable, in which case the only option might be to go into production yourself.

Man, I have to say that you've done a hell of a job! These videos and the course you have are just beyond useful and informative... I would like to ask you: If you have a provisional patent, would that eliminate the necessary need for an NDA? And will just depend on the provisional? Or maybe provisional + the email agreement you mentioned? And how about recording every single call with them... that would be powerful evidence in case they stole the idea... right? Finally, I wanna thank you for your amazing job, and I've just subscribed and am looking forward to your next upcoming videos!
@PatentToronto8 ай бұрын
Yes! Building a good paper trail is a great way to reinforce your rights. The provisional application is necessary to secure your rights, but together with a NDA, you have as much protection as is legally possible.
@ElegantAstronaut8 ай бұрын
@PatentToronto thanks for responding. I mean, in case they didn't agree to sign an NDA, recording every single call is powerful since any stupid move from them will lead to publishing everything online, and then later they lose reputation... which I think is far worse than a lawsuit.
