    very good video.. would u be able to share any approved patents that were filed in "as a service" in IT space, to quote few examples? also, do u help in filing patents, starting from discovery process, if its fileable etc., in USPTO? if so, how do we get in touch with you?

      Yes! Shoot me an email, I’ll send you a few examples. Yes, we are a full service patent law firm and can help with all of that. E-mail me directly: jd@boldip.com

    Aloha, enjoyed the video....curious, regarding "assembly"....what I am trying to patent is the collective use of multiple technologies that alreay exist, in a unique way to enjoy unique benefits, to proove a model for what future tech that doesn't exist yet, "like smart soft-contact lenses" could consider flagship features.
    This patent world is rather pardoxical, as the lines blurred between "Novel/non-obvious" and crazy seem to lie in the ears of the beholders'. How can one go about getting patent level authenticy for a catagory that doesn't exist yet? Would be akin to trying to patent "Uber" in 1995, "What the hell is an 'app' they would say.

      Thanks for watching! Unique combinations of parts that already exist are definitely patentable. It's actually quite rare to come up with a completely new device, it almost always has some if not most of its components from off-the-shelf parts/pieces.
      Regarding Novelty/Non-Obviousness, let me try to demonstrate difference between novelty and non-obviousness. Novelty means that the whole invention, as-claimed, must be the first of its kind in the world. No single prior art reference (patent, publication, etc.) has all of the claimed elements in it. Obviousness is where one or more prior art references are put together, and an examiner finds that your invention was a natural/obvious result of those two or more references (even though your specific invention has never been done before).
      For your Uber question, because it would have been so far ahead of its time, there would have been thousands, maybe millions of inventions documented in order for Uber to be understood. In otherwords, the invention of Uber stood on the many thousands (if not millions) of patents that were issued between 1995 and 2010 on software, networkng, data processing, satellites, hardware for chips, memory, batteries, etc.

      @@boldpatents Appreciate the prompt response! It would really be more of a process or method instead of a device that holds all the benefits of collective current technology, but in a specific sequence that yeilds reliably repeatable mental health benefits.
      Which I then wish to compress into software that can handle the demand of multiple devices, like the iphone did for three different devices, when augmented reality becomes equally as dominant in society as Alexa in homes has shown doable.
      And then use this to propose a partnership with SmartSoftContact lens company, as the mascot of sorts to rep what could come to be considered the new techs Flagship features.
      Makes me wonder how, if you've heard of Terrance Howard and how he apparently formulated his own language of logic he calls Terryology, which he was keeping secret until he had patented it. How the hell could that possibly have ben approved?? In what catagories does it apply? I have tried looking this up but to no avail.
      I understand what you mean about Uber standing on the shoulders of countless other patents, so I guess in my naivety, how can one patent or simply provide authenticty to the Mythology of "uber" in 1995, being worth the investment to fund the incrimental steps required to yield compound interest returns on said investment.?
      Just shared you video with a fellow enthusiast, will continue to share, thanks for your professionalism.

      @@rickywheels3661 I know right! haha. I've looked and looked, and asked but no one seems to be able to give a straight answer as to how such a process/mythology is patentable....
      A good example of what I am understanding to be a "method/process", can be found in the films TheScore with Edward Norton, where he goes through a series of steps for 6 months, pretending to be a disabled janitor,
      all for the singular purpose of controlling context in the minds of others, (which is what marketing does, controlling context), when he robs the place he's been working undercover at.
      Also, in the film The Prestige, Christian Bales charatcer is trying to be remembered as a magician that pulled off the worlds greatest trick, which was appearing in 2 far away places withing mili-seconds of eachother,
      seemingly teleporting from one place to the other. And what was requried for this is be a reality was a METHOD/PROCESS of steps necessary for a duration of time before that context could be controlled for,
      and the spoiler answer is that he was a twin, that agreed from childhood to share half of one identity, never to be seen together in the same town, and they would take turns at thier other created identity just to pull off the trick, professionally.
      ^these 2 film examples portray what David Blaine in real life did with his Magicians career, specifically with his "spitting up frogs on command", not just one frog, but 3, seemingly from out of absolutely nowhere!
      but I say, the real METHOD/PROCESS that was cruical to achieve the context reaction he was seeking, was that he made sure it was his last trick, and did this in a room full of people that never saw him leave, he never went to the bathroom, not even turned his back,
      he purposely had a method point to be as seen as possible so ZERO room for doubt was possible, no one could accuse him of some slieght of hand, just just sleight of mind,
      and this is what I too have devolped a method/process to achive my own desired area of control for context, which I see as absoulutley neccesasy before a particalur business can be pulled off, like a magic trick (tech that doesnt exist yet, etc.)
      Individually, no part of it can work without the collective use of all the parts at once, how can someone get a patent around this, since individually they are not patentable, but collectively they are?

      @@101RealTalker never saw the score but I loved The Prestige! I know exactly what you mean, there was a process to their strategy that enabled the desired result. How can one go about patenting such an abstract value, that is clearly crucial in achieving goals? I really want to know how Terrence Howard was able to word the application, for something seemingly no one can explain 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄

    Thank you for sharing this helpful information. Does help to have a prior patent to create a new patent service based on the prior art?

      @@boldpatents sure, let’s say hypothetically I am the owner of NVIDIA, I have patented the omniverse which is tech that allows you to create a digital twin of the world. Now I am creating a set of APIs to create a service to let people use my invention. I was wondering since the service is based in the previous invention and the way the service is accessed is quite unique can the service be patented?

    • @boldpatents
      @boldpatents  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@SalomonLee yes. I should say, having a single patent as broad as your hypothetical suggests, is not likely true, even for a giant such as NVIDIA. I’m real life, it’s like a large collection of patent portfolios and families that may cover something like that. In any event, yes, if your method/processes (via APIs) are novel and non-obvious then they may be patentable.

    May I kindly ask, are there any real examples of successful applications of patenting a service / business methods? I mean, like any popular or well known companies which have gone through applying “service patent”? Many thanks for your answering!
