Very good video (with intelligent clickbait title.) Pragmatic 3-tiered "win/win" royalty strategy: File provisional patent. While status is patent pending ask 5%, if utility patent is granted 7%, if patent not allowed 1%. Propose that agreement includes improvements. Use additional follow-up provisional patents to maintain pending status. Flexible reasonable approach.
I've had an idea for quite some time now and have always been afraid or too shy to even begin the process or tell friends about it. After watching your videos I am much more informed and confident in beginning the journey. Thank you both.
Hi, let's say that I have a provisional and I sat with a company to license my invention. What if the company says it's not interested in my idea and proceeds to make a similar product based on my invention? What is my defense then?
Let them do it, it shows you have a great thing. Create Constructive Reduction to practice, and pictures of process and prototyping. In addition to Actual . reduction to practice. Buy the Book Patent it Yoursef by Patent Attorney David Pressman intend to sell it even if it is small batches. Use it yourself and your associates.
That's a very good question. I submittes to 2 of the as seen on tv reps interviewed by inventrighttv and have not heard anything - yes or no, and it's working on the 2nd week....I've been robbed before but perhaps it's a little too soon...any comments?
you have the provisional application filing date before them, any disclosure in that application is prior art for them, if you dont give up on that provisional
Thank you for watching! That's great to hear. We have many, many more resources about how to license an idea without a patent if you are interested. The most comprehensive is "One Simple Idea," Stephen's bestselling book about the 10 steps you need to take to license an idea. It's available in libraries in the United States and on Amazon: www.amazon.com/One-Simple-Idea-Revised-Expanded/dp/1259589676. He's also published many videos and articles about this topic. Please let us know how we can help.
My favourite thing about Andrew and stephen is when stephen says something that doesn't sound right to the average listener, Andrew will counter question him so he has to break down what he's saying. If its possible, could you guys do a video on what to do if you get stuck designing a product. Bought your book other day and its a huge thumbs up from me, thanks a lot guys.
I have a found a great market for a great product. It looks the part, and would work great. My only struggle is, how its going to be manufactured. I've watched how the product is manufactured a 100 times, but find it difficult to add my design in to that process if that makes sense. The process would need adjusting and i think it is possible, but stuck on creating that process. Hope that isn't to confussing. And thank you for your reply.
Write a Provisional and word things as best you can. Make sketches as best you can. If you have a friend or someone close to you, STILL have them sign a Confidentiality Agreement with a general general description of your creation. File your provisional (read the book, "One Simple Idea" for tips on this), then CONTACT companies in that market who will sign the Confidentiality before you discuss your product for the company to license. Get your Provisional Patent, make your Sell Sheet, include the Prov. Patent # on it, have a meeting with the company you are pitching to. Get everything in writing and make a great deal. The book here lists much info. Read it first.
Learning about the PPA from you guys seriously changed the game for me! Such an easy 'step' in the licensing process and it allows you to get in conversations with companies so much faster and start getting product feedback. I actually have been using SmartIP through your site and it's been great so far. Thank you for all the great info and saving me thousands on an IP attorney!
Even with Patent Pending a large corporation will take your idea and dare you to sue them. They have vastly more legal resources than you. Once you Issue the provisional patent the idea is public. This video is a plug for his book.
I have to say, with so many videos out there one is always inclined to assume there is a lot of babble and not much real content. This however, when one listens to it all, really does make sense, it's rich in content and has confirmed thoughts I have had and more importantly warned me of critical aspects. If one is looking to patent something, this really is good free advice. Most grateful. In my case especially since I have in fact both scenarios, one small domestic device with a functional prototype already working, (the provisional will do me to get that to market asap) and a second much bigger thing where I need to go to industry along with a heavyweight business angel as I suspect it could be a feature that won't go away for a very long time in one of the biggest industries around. Very good. Many thanks for this most informative video!
Thanks for posting these, such great info. If you get a chance, could you please give some examples to further illustrate the "big idea vs. small idea" point that you were making? I appreciate all your help.
This is the most exciting video of yours I’ve seen so far. THANK YOU! It makes me angry how so many people overcomplicate this subject. You guys simplify it! Us inventor-types NEED the approach that you offer. Just bought the book. Excited to absorb it all.
Literally 2 people running their mouth about a subject they are educated/experienced in, on the subject I searched up. Thanks inventRighttv and TH-cam for this easy education.
I brought your book. A lot of what you say in the book sound good, but does not work in real life. I spoke to a lawyer they told me you cannot sell a provisional patent. All a provisional patent is a placeholder. The only time a company will buy is if you have a Utility Patent,
That's 100% false. Our students sign licensing deals all the time with just a PPA. On the other hand, it makes sense that a lawyer would tell you that you need their help right? Follow us on social media to read about a new success story every week.
This is the first video of yours I've watched. Thank you so much for the great info. I've made the first prototype of my product yesterday and l am now in search of my next step.
@@stephenkey3137 Yes, I've purchased your book after watching another one of your videos. I'm currently reading it again for the second time. I hope to have enough research done by January to start calling companies.
Hi. I have invented a new product that attaches to an existing product. I have never seen it and many have told me to patent it. Ten plus years later I'm still here. And still have not seen anything like it out there. Not on Google or anywhere. So what do I need to do?
What happens if you do research to see if a patent exists on an idea, don't find anything, then file a provisional patent, get the idea licensed, then have someone with a patent or patent-pending claims you are using their idea?
It is extremely costly to pursue patent infringement claims. So, unless the product in question was making the inventor/company a lot of money, this is a unrealistic scenario. This is one reason why we recommend starting your market research by searching through Google images (to see if there are similar products on the market), not just a prior art search.
Hi Stephen, I have your book. I just applied for a provisional patent. Upto said they will issue a number in 8 weeks. I have an excellent idea which is a really big WINNER, for years to come. God willing.
When licensing while provisional is still pending, is it possible to structure license agreement to transfer costs and responsibility of filing related utlity patents to the licensee? If so, what impact might that have on the 1%, 5%, 7% typical royalty schedule you suggest?
This is a great question.Negotiating where your licensee pays for the intellectual property is a strategy we use all the time. But I would never transfer responsibility. You have to control this yourself.
@inventRightTV Thank you. Transferring costs while retaining responsibility/control makes good sense, insofar as there is an inherent conflict of interests.

SO, lets say i make a PPA and start selling my product but two years of making money someone says that YOU stole their idea that has been previously PPAed ... what then?
In EPLaw "improvements" have to have unity of invention with the first patent if they want to keep first application date. The come under the form of "Addition Certificate". If they don't have unity of inventions them they are a new later application
if you make a u tube video showing and explaining your idea, Doesnt that prove that you are the original creator of that invention.. because it has an upload date .ALSO what if you started selling it on an ETSY online store... would that protect the original creator ?
No, that wouldn’t protect anyone. Today it’s very hard to protect an idea, but you should file intellectual property first before you do any disclosure. -Stephen
So I’m just a plant and soil scientist that owns a landscape design and horticulture services company that decided to just make cool shit to provide myself with a niche horticulture market and ended up just making and Inventing things to sell clients when they preordered. Well they are doing very well but haven’t marketed it due to someone stealing my ideas and products. They are complex for the purpose but only because I’m a plant scientist did I know how to make a great horticulture product. Now what I’m thinking... is I don’t want to wait for a patent!!! BUT the company I live down the street of is one of the largest producers of a type of horticulture products and they so happen to supply my manufacturing needs... I have to have there help. How do I make a deal with them so they don’t steal my ideas... Cause once you know all the materials I use someone can reproduce it besides the part my friend made software for but even that you can find online by itself.... I’m going to try and patent it cause I have investors who already want to pay for legality of the patent process. That’s the hardest part but my problem is time it takes for complex patents and my urge to produce a few hundred units that’s . So should I still go to them to help manufacture my products In the short term??? Their manufacturing input is only a type of material that is crucial for just the material I’ll have custom made, but not crucial for the complexity of the system although they are a huge company in the horticulture world they innovate and manufacture a lot of products in the same customer base as myself.... Another reason it’s intimidating to patent due to the mechanical complexity of my product. My other product is less mechanically complex but much more complex in functionality and its ability to perform needs of clients but simple in the grand scheme of things. The reason I need to get patented is the complexity of said product that would sell no problem cause everyone is chomping at the bits to get them includes my friends, family and local businesses/residential clients. So I had someone tell me I should start patenting my creations and sell them... I’m not that type of guy tho...My job and life resembles that of a artist’s life not a engineer or crazy capitalist. Pretty content with just running my lil company in the super awesome field of horticulture services and landscape design. I also have some clients that think My ideas and contraptions are brilliant and have too much money\time. I think people believe I’m just a entrepreneur/opportunist that started a landscaping company after high school but no one believes I have 8 years of plant sciences classes of knowledge and insane passion for Plants and ecology knowledge. I see nature as art and like painters my canvas is the environment I’m given and my paint is the ability to know what plants need and colors they will produce during every season and the shape...That’s how you manipulate and control the environment and instead of a paint brush I use rocks and trimming to highlight and bring focus to the most beautiful parts of the scenery. In a way you forget it’s a garden and instead just admire the way everything blends and how it feels... Now that’s art! So yeah... I like to manipulate nature to create art of living things and I have ideas\product that you can’t find readily or at all. These are just tools to help people like me to create art from nature Did all this because I have made things DIY to fix my niche work but would be great for home owners and professionals. One is a simple but awesome plant water can and one is a system that is sold for assembly and is modular so you can add to it and horticulturist and interior designers would be chomping at the bit for this system. Both are very complex I even have a friend designing software only thing is I still have to find a few materials like pumps, filters, and chemicals that I have to link up with horticulture manufacturers that I don’t want my ideas and design but they are crucial for making my products a reality. Got stoned and kicked in mid comment writing lol
How can you keep writing PPA after PPA against the same invention? If you did your PPA right the first time, which you should, then you made it specific enough and detailed enough to protect your art. Which means there's little room for yearly amendments or additions to your original PPA.
You sold me lol buying your book soon as I get home from work!!!! Had this idea for a week or so. I believe it’s a big idea!! I wasn’t even really interested in making products but this idea in my head just can’t be ignored so I’m going for it. Your videos definitely have been very helpful. Can’t wait to read your book!!!!! FYI using my sons channel to type this lol
Good questions. This article explains what your options are when your provisional patent application is about to expire: www.inc.com/stephen-key/what-to-do-when-your-provisional-patent-application-is-about-to-expire.html
In European patent law, there isn't PROVISIONAL patent applications. Claims are written in stone from the application date. Later you can delete some of them but you can't add anything
Maybe. Maybe not. If you make your provisional patent application very comprehensive (meaning full of variations and workarounds), they might decide it's easier to work with you (and pay you) than to try to work around you.
About how long does it take for a ppa application to go through the verification process of their offices also how long will it be pending for before the ppa becomes set in stone
The USPTO does not read provisional patent applications. You have 12 months to decide if you are going to file a non-provisional patent application. Learn more: www.inc.com/stephen-key/what-to-do-when-your-provisional-patent-application-is-about-to-expire.html
It doesn't have to be an either/or. In our eyes being first to market is one of the best ways of protecting yourself. Using intellectual property to support your go-to-market strategy is the answer.

I have contacted all the big bathroom product manufacturers Kohler, Moen, water works etc and I've asked them if they'd be interested in licensing my product, a bathroom table where the top holds reading material and INVERTS so that you can recline, read HANDS-FREE and I continually am told that they have internal design teams and they don't work with outside inventors. What am I doing wrong? this product not only has everyday applications for the average Jane and John q public but it also has ADA applications because the disabled really need this product

I have one product that is commercial and retail and has two more variations. Do I need 4 PPA and 4 sells sheets ? I could better sale all its functions with one sales sheetDo could include all options in one PPA? Does the royalty amount increase ?
Hi Patricia. You need to remember that the goal of your sell sheet to pique a licensee's interest. So what concept is going to do that the most? You don't want to overwhelm or distract with too much at first. We know people who have licensed many different versions of the same idea at a time - 21 different SKUs, in fact!
My products is there, I just need my machine to be build, I don’t need the patent until I make some sells, because my machine is gonna cost a lot and needs a lot of patents. I just need a provisional application, need help. While I’m making my product to sell it. Need help
With respect to your comments between 11:24 and 11:36 of your video, and if, I have read, you cannot extend or renew, per se, a PPA, how does one keep the patent pending status ongoing without gaps? Would there have to be major changes or modifications made to the product? Thank you.
For a detailed explanation of your options when your provisional patent application is about to expire, read this article: www.inc.com/stephen-key/what-to-do-when-your-provisional-patent-application-is-about-to-expire.html
Is it possible for a non US citizen get a ppa ? I didn't really understand what Stephen explains about the royalty rate. Does he mean the royalty one should ask for? It sounded like this 7% if the product has a patent and 5% if it is patent pending but he also mentions 1%.
Hello! Thank you for watching! To answer your question, anyone in the world can file for a PPA. As for the second question, there is no such thing as a set royalty rate, because every industry and every agreement is different. If you want to read more about what an idea is worth and how to calculate an approximate royalty rate, feel free to check out our Inc. article on the subject: www.inc.com/stephen-key/what-s-your-invention-worth.html.
Yes you can work on tech ideas. Of course. - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder ( Call, email, book an appointment or request more info about how we can help by visiting us here. inventright.com/contact/ )
It's very important than you search for prior art. But just because it exists doesn't mean you can't invent around it - especially if the prior art refers to a concept alone. (Meaning the invention was never commercialized.) We have many videos and articles about this!
inventRightTV Thanks! I may not able to tell you in such impressive way that what i’m trying to say but the idea i’ve conceived is revolutionize In IT and its not so completed, don’t know why no companies have ever think about it. I don’t wanna be over excited
Can you pls Steven give me an advice? One of my ideas was stolen at work, and now is implemented at work. And it wasn't protected. Where to go for help here in arizona. Thank you.
You can file for patent even after you make your idea public. The thing is that you can file only within one year period after you make your invention public that is called grace period. So calculate one year from date of making your idea public, if you have time go for the patent.
I went to invent help. Paid over $2000.00 every time I went back they wanted more $. I had a book made of my idea and they guaranteed that my idea would sale to companies that would want to buy the idea and make it. However after spending all I had basically I never got a patent and later a few years later found one of the products that I came up with in a store. By invent help. I gave up not knowing what to do.
We can help you learn what to do. Our cofounder Stephen Key has published hundreds of articles and videos for free about how to license an idea. He's also written a bestselling book that you can find at many libraries:amazon.com/One-Simple-Idea-Revised-Expanded/dp/1259589676 It's a great place to start educating yourself. Don't give up!
If you have a filed a ppa and you have succeeded in selling your idea to a company before the year is up on your ppa, is it necessary to continue on to get the full patent when you have already sold it to a company?
'Necessary' is an interesting word choice. Will doing so benefit you is a better way of looking at it. Ultimately, that is a question for your and your licensee to determine. For more on intellectual property strategy, please check out Stephen's book "Sell Your Ideas With or Without a Patent: www.amazon.com/Sell-Your-Ideas-Without-Patent/dp/1507885733.

Regarding this information, things are about the same. Companies need ideas. And you don’t need a patent, but you do need a well written, provisional patent application. Always include manufacturing techniques and any work around and variations to your PPA.Thank you for asking this question. -Stephen
Hi gents, what are your thoughts on submitting to more than one company at a time? So far, I have only been submitting to one company and was awaiting their response until approaching the next. Can you advise on the pros and cons to this practice? Also, do you think there is a difference on its impact among granted, provisional, or no patents at all? Thank you for your time.
Great question! You should absolutely submit to multiple companies at once. You can't afford to wait! One exception is the "As Seen on TV" industry, which has only a few players, and moves much more quickly than others. Pitch one As Seen on TV company at a time. Look at submitting to potential licensees as an opportunity to get feedback. You need feedback so you can move forward with confidence. If a company isn't interested, try to find out why, so you can incorporate that feedback into your design, or your approach, or whom you are targeting. Thanks for watching.
It doesn't depend on you how long is the "patent pending" period. One day you will receive a letter from a patent examiner telling you that if you want that the procedure goes on you should order a Search Report and pay let say $1000 more or less. I have not the data with me. If you fail in doing that your patent application is deemed withdrawn
You are mistaken, sir. After you file a provisional patent application (PPA) with the USPTO, you have 12 months of patent pending status before you have to decide whether to extend your PPA or file a non-provisional patent application.
I have an idea for a new machine but I'm in a foreign country and I don't have a money for a patent, how can i show my idea to the big companies in USA without a patent ?

Write a Provisional and word things as best you can. Make sketches as best you can. If you have a friend or someone close to you, STILL have them sign a Confidentiality Agreement with a general general description of your creation. File your provisional (read the book, "One Simple Idea" for tips on this), then CONTACT companies in that market who will sign the Confidentiality before you discuss your product for the company to license.

This however, when one listens to it all, really does make sense, it's rich in content and has confirmed thoughts I have had and more importantly warned me of critical aspects. If one is looking to patent something, this really is good free advice. Most grateful. In my case especially since I have in fact both scenarios, one small domestic device with a functional prototype already working, (the provisional will do me to get that to market asap) and a second much bigger thing where I need to go to industry along with a heavyweight business angel as I suspect it could be a feature that won't go away for a very long time in one of the biggest industries around. Very good. Many thanks for this most informative video!
I've just ordered the book...
Thank you for your support! Let us know what you think of it.
You're welcome. Thank you for the kind words, they are appreciated.
Do not Stop?
Thanks for posting these, such great info. If you get a chance, could you please give some examples to further illustrate the "big idea vs. small idea" point that you were making? I appreciate all your help.
How do you keep applying a provisional patent on the same idea/invention to keep it in “patent pending” status?
@@mojorisin188 this questions fairly complicated you need to call us thank you
This is the most exciting video of yours I’ve seen so far. THANK YOU! It makes me angry how so many people overcomplicate this subject. You guys simplify it! Us inventor-types NEED the approach that you offer. Just bought the book. Excited to absorb it all.
Glad it was helpful!

How To Avoid Having A Worthless Patent:

Very good article, but how can i license to a company that is already in the business ? Is this safe for someone without a patent ?
I brought your book. A lot of what you say in the book sound good, but does not work in real life. I spoke to a lawyer they told me you cannot sell a provisional patent. All a provisional patent is a placeholder. The only time a company will buy is if you have a Utility Patent,
That's 100% false. Our students sign licensing deals all the time with just a PPA. On the other hand, it makes sense that a lawyer would tell you that you need their help right? Follow us on social media to read about a new success story every week.
Very interesting. Thanks for educating on provisional patent. Very helpful. I'm glad I came here first.
I've read the book twice - Love keeping up with the videos to stay sharp. These are great - thanks!
Thank you for your support!
inventRightTV whats the name of the book?
This is the first video of yours I've watched. Thank you so much for the great info. I've made the first prototype of my product yesterday and l am now in search of my next step.
I highly recommend picking up "One Simple Idea" it has all the steps you need.
@@stephenkey3137 Yes, I've purchased your book after watching another one of your videos. I'm currently reading it again for the second time. I hope to have enough research done by January to start calling companies.
But the book Patent it yourself by David pressman Nolo press.
@@andre1dre I bought it and am reading it also. Lot of information. This is all completely new and intimidating to me.
andre1dre Hello Andre. Just saw your post here from a year ago and I’m wondering how things are going with you trying to get your product marketed?
Hi. I have invented a new product that attaches to an existing product. I have never seen it and many have told me to patent it. Ten plus years later I'm still here. And still have not seen anything like it out there. Not on Google or anywhere. So what do I need to do?
Maybe we can help. Get in touch to find out how: www.inventright.com/contact
What happens if you do research to see if a patent exists on an idea, don't find anything, then file a provisional patent, get the idea licensed, then have someone with a patent or patent-pending claims you are using their idea?
It is extremely costly to pursue patent infringement claims. So, unless the product in question was making the inventor/company a lot of money, this is a unrealistic scenario. This is one reason why we recommend starting your market research by searching through Google images (to see if there are similar products on the market), not just a prior art search.
That may have been the most important 15 minutes of my life.......I will follow up with you in about a year.....Keep the channel open.....:)
So hows it going????been 1 year
Not going very well lol. They punched him in the face and took his idea cause that's what large companies do to people.
Hi Stephen, I have your book. I just applied for a provisional patent. Upto said they will issue a number in 8 weeks. I have an excellent idea which is a really big WINNER, for years to come. God willing.
Fantastic congratulations!

When licensing while provisional is still pending, is it possible to structure license agreement to transfer costs and responsibility of filing related utlity patents to the licensee? If so, what impact might that have on the 1%, 5%, 7% typical royalty schedule you suggest?
This is a great question.Negotiating where your licensee pays for the intellectual property is a strategy we use all the time.
But I would never transfer responsibility. You have to control this yourself.
@inventRightTV Thank you. Transferring costs while retaining responsibility/control makes good sense, insofar as there is an inherent conflict of interests.
So what about the PPA After a year?
That’s a very good question. Do you have one year to determine what to do next? Is there interest?
Before You Begin The Patenting Process, Read This: www.forbes.com/sites/stephenkey/2018/07/31/before-you-begin-the-patenting-process-read-this/#4bc6647452f6
so when the 1 year provisional patent expires, you can keep renewing that same provisional patent as many times needed?
We have written articles on this - we cannot share them here due to TH-cam rules. Please Google for them!

SO, lets say i make a PPA and start selling my product but two years of making money someone says that YOU stole their idea that has been previously PPAed ... what then?
In EPLaw "improvements" have to have unity of invention with the first patent if they want to keep first application date. The come under the form of "Addition Certificate". If they don't have unity of inventions them they are a new later application
How is first to market more protect than owning the patent on a product?????????
if you make a u tube video showing and explaining your idea, Doesnt that prove that you are the original creator of that invention.. because it has an upload date .ALSO what if you started selling it on an ETSY online store... would that protect the original creator ?
No, that wouldn’t protect anyone. Today it’s very hard to protect an idea, but you should file intellectual property first before you do any disclosure.

So I’m just a plant and soil scientist that owns a landscape design and horticulture services company that decided to just make cool shit to provide myself with a niche horticulture market and ended up just making and Inventing things to sell clients when they preordered. Well they are doing very well but haven’t marketed it due to someone stealing my ideas and products. They are complex for the purpose but only because I’m a plant scientist did I know how to make a great horticulture product.
Now what I’m thinking... is I don’t want to wait for a patent!!!
BUT the company I live down the street of is one of the largest producers of a type of horticulture products and they so happen to supply my manufacturing needs... I have to have there help. How do I make a deal with them so they don’t steal my ideas... Cause once you know all the materials I use someone can reproduce it besides the part my friend made software for but even that you can find online by itself....
I’m going to try and patent it cause I have investors who already want to pay for legality of the patent process. That’s the hardest part but my problem is time it takes for complex patents and my urge to produce a few hundred units that’s . So should I still go to them to help manufacture my products In the short term???
Their manufacturing input is only a type of material that is crucial for just the material I’ll have custom made, but not crucial for the complexity of the system although they are a huge company in the horticulture world they innovate and manufacture a lot of products in the same customer base as myself....
Another reason it’s intimidating to patent due to the mechanical complexity of my product. My other product is less mechanically complex but much more complex in functionality and its ability to perform needs of clients but simple in the grand scheme of things.
The reason I need to get patented is the complexity of said product that would sell no problem cause everyone is chomping at the bits to get them includes my friends, family and local businesses/residential clients. So I had someone tell me I should start patenting my creations and sell them... I’m not that type of guy tho...My job and life resembles that of a artist’s life not a engineer or crazy capitalist. Pretty content with just running my lil company in the super awesome field of horticulture services and landscape design. I also have some clients that think My ideas and contraptions are brilliant and have too much money\time. I think people believe I’m just a entrepreneur/opportunist that started a landscaping company after high school but no one believes I have 8 years of plant sciences classes of knowledge and insane passion for Plants and ecology knowledge. I see nature as art and like painters my canvas is the environment I’m given and my paint is the ability to know what plants need and colors they will produce during every season and the shape...That’s how you manipulate and control the environment and instead of a paint brush I use rocks and trimming to highlight and bring focus to the most beautiful parts of the scenery. In a way you forget it’s a garden and instead just admire the way everything blends and how it feels... Now that’s art! So yeah... I like to manipulate nature to create art of living things and I have ideas\product that you can’t find readily or at all. These are just tools to help people like me to create art from nature
Did all this because I have made things DIY to fix my niche work but would be great for home owners and professionals. One is a simple but awesome plant water can and one is a system that is sold for assembly and is modular so you can add to it and horticulturist and interior designers would be chomping at the bit for this system. Both are very complex I even have a friend designing software only thing is I still have to find a few materials like pumps, filters, and chemicals that I have to link up with horticulture manufacturers that I don’t want my ideas and design but they are crucial for making my products a reality.
Got stoned and kicked in mid comment writing lol

The fact that it's a hassle to invent something or design a variation of something and market it proves to me leadership needs to be altered.
What do you mean by leader ship?
What are the “big ideas” vs “small ideas”??
How can you keep writing PPA after PPA against the same invention? If you did your PPA right the first time, which you should, then you made it specific enough and detailed enough to protect your art. Which means there's little room for yearly amendments or additions to your original PPA.
@@Grejegando you keep learning more.
You sold me lol buying your book soon as I get home from work!!!! Had this idea for a week or so. I believe it’s a big idea!! I wasn’t even really interested in making products but this idea in my head just can’t be ignored so I’m going for it. Your videos definitely have been very helpful. Can’t wait to read your book!!!!!

@@alrkai Thank you.
Hows it going
Update?

I don’t understand your question.
Is there any equivalent to a Provisional Patent in Europe?
How would this work in the UK?
Watching your videos gives me the chills we as humans have so much potential
That's beautiful!
Weirdo!
Lets say you get a company to buy your idea, what you do after 12month? Can you renew PPA, How you keep "ownership "?
Good questions. This article explains what your options are when your provisional patent application is about to expire: www.inc.com/stephen-key/what-to-do-when-your-provisional-patent-application-is-about-to-expire.html
In European patent law, there isn't PROVISIONAL patent applications. Claims are written in stone from the application date. Later you can delete some of them but you can't add anything
But the Provisional application you presented to the company can be designed around by the company.
Maybe. Maybe not. If you make your provisional patent application very comprehensive (meaning full of variations and workarounds), they might decide it's easier to work with you (and pay you) than to try to work around you.
About how long does it take for a ppa application to go through the verification process of their offices also how long will it be pending for before the ppa becomes set in stone
The USPTO does not read provisional patent applications. You have 12 months to decide if you are going to file a non-provisional patent application. Learn more: www.inc.com/stephen-key/what-to-do-when-your-provisional-patent-application-is-about-to-expire.html
What are the advantages to a patent over just going straight to building and marketing your product?
It doesn't have to be an either/or. In our eyes being first to market is one of the best ways of protecting yourself. Using intellectual property to support your go-to-market strategy is the answer.

I have one product that is commercial and retail and has two more variations. Do I need 4 PPA and 4 sells sheets ? I could better sale all its functions with one sales sheetDo could include all options in one PPA? Does the royalty amount increase ?
Hi Patricia. You need to remember that the goal of your sell sheet to pique a licensee's interest. So what concept is going to do that the most? You don't want to overwhelm or distract with too much at first. We know people who have licensed many different versions of the same idea at a time - 21 different SKUs, in fact!
What if I don't want to sell my idea to a company, but crowdfund to generate capital for my idea?
My products is there, I just need my machine to be build, I don’t need the patent until I make some sells, because my machine is gonna cost a lot and needs a lot of patents. I just need a provisional application, need help. While I’m making my product to sell it. Need help
Thank you for this information. How do you access the companies to pitch your ideas
what if i dont want to sell my idea?? I want to create a business. how will i go about it??
I have a great invention for the medical / and mechanical fields where can I get a patent pending also what type of companies will do I look for.
With respect to your comments between 11:24 and 11:36 of your video, and if, I have read, you cannot extend or renew, per se, a PPA, how does one keep the patent pending status ongoing without gaps? Would there have to be major changes or modifications made to the product? Thank you.

Thank you for this, I know now what I must do.
This latest video that I have watched of yours blew the doors wide open on an idea that I have that is very time-sensitive
Is it possible for a non US citizen get a ppa ? I didn't really understand what Stephen explains about the royalty rate. Does he mean the royalty one should ask for? It sounded like this 7% if the product has a patent and 5% if it is patent pending but he also mentions 1%.
Hello!
Thank you for watching!
To answer your question, anyone in the world can file for a PPA.
As for the second question, there is no such thing as a set royalty rate, because every industry and every agreement is different. If you want to read more about what an idea is worth and how to calculate an approximate royalty rate, feel free to check out our Inc. article on the subject: www.inc.com/stephen-key/what-s-your-invention-worth.html.
1% if doesnot get patent.
hi ,I have question .is it necessary that the invention coach be from the same cite that i live in ?
Where can i print/DL the provisional patent form and how do i pay it. Thanks
How would you protect yourself from the company that you pitched your idea to if they decide not to go along?

what about Prior Art ? if there is any then i cant license it !!
It's very important than you search for prior art. But just because it exists doesn't mean you can't invent around it - especially if the prior art refers to a concept alone. (Meaning the invention was never commercialized.) We have many videos and articles about this!

And it wasn't protected.

Thank you.
Congratulations on having a good idea, Maria.
Did u share with them
You can file for patent even after you make your idea public. The thing is that you can file only within one year period after you make your invention public that is called grace period. So calculate one year from date of making your idea public, if you have time go for the patent.
Excellent video. What happens after a Provisional Patent expires after 1 year? Can it be re-submitted or extended?
+Landzip One You can file a new PPA, yes. You'll just lose your early filing date (in other words, the date you first filed).
how do I make sure the company does not still my idea if I just send it to them? the license is it enough? I am not to clear when it was explained
Hola Pamela desde donde escribes
@@martinez.partnership from Orlando, Florida
@@pamelaramirez4541 oh ok, cool, I'm in West Palm Beach Fl
Pamela to answer your question: You need what's called a provisional patent
I went to invent help. Paid over $2000.00 every time I went back they wanted more $. I had a book made of my idea and they guaranteed that my idea would sale to companies that would want to buy the idea and make it. However after spending all I had basically I never got a patent and later a few years later found one of the products that I came up with in a store. By invent help. I gave up not knowing what to do.
We can help you learn what to do. Our cofounder Stephen Key has published hundreds of articles and videos for free about how to license an idea. He's also written a bestselling book that you can find at many libraries:amazon.com/One-Simple-Idea-Revised-Expanded/dp/1259589676
It's a great place to start educating yourself. Don't give up!
If you have a filed a ppa and you have succeeded in selling your idea to a company before the year is up on your ppa, is it necessary to continue on to get the full patent when you have already sold it to a company?
'Necessary' is an interesting word choice. Will doing so benefit you is a better way of looking at it. Ultimately, that is a question for your and your licensee to determine.

Intellectual property is one big gray area. Meaning there are no definitive answers - it depends on what you've done the year before, how much risk you're comfortable with, etc. Consult different attorneys and see what they say.

I just found this channel and I love you videos guys! I’m from Germany living in Spain, is the content for US citizens only?
It’s 2023, does this information need to be updated?
Regarding this information, things are about the same. Companies need ideas. And you don’t need a patent, but you do need a well written, provisional patent application. Always include manufacturing techniques and any work around and variations to your PPA.Thank you for asking this question.

What of international markets?
Great video! Thanks for the information.
Hi gents, what are your thoughts on submitting to more than one company at a time? So far, I have only been submitting to one company and was awaiting their response until approaching the next. Can you advise on the pros and cons to this practice? Also, do you think there is a difference on its impact among granted, provisional, or no patents at all? Thank you for your time.
Great question! You should absolutely submit to multiple companies at once. You can't afford to wait! One exception is the "As Seen on TV" industry, which has only a few players, and moves much more quickly than others. Pitch one As Seen on TV company at a time. Look at submitting to potential licensees as an opportunity to get feedback. You need feedback so you can move forward with confidence. If a company isn't interested, try to find out why, so you can incorporate that feedback into your design, or your approach, or whom you are targeting. Thanks for watching.
Great, thank you for the response. I will change my approach as I am waiting for 8 ideas to come through and its driving me nuts!
What if I for 100% certainty that I know my product is an ongoing product. For example, what if I invited the straw?
Err...then you didn't invent it?
It doesn't depend on you how long is the "patent pending" period. One day you will receive a letter from a patent examiner telling you that if you want that the procedure goes on you should order a Search Report and pay let say $1000 more or less. I have not the data with me. If you fail in doing that your patent application is deemed withdrawn
You are mistaken, sir. After you file a provisional patent application (PPA) with the USPTO, you have 12 months of patent pending status before you have to decide whether to extend your PPA or file a non-provisional patent application.
I have an idea for a new machine but I'm in a foreign country and I don't have a money for a patent, how can i show my idea to the big companies in USA without a patent ?
