So, I tuned in to this so I could find out how to write a provisional patent. I was sold a book and a software program. I'm fine with that, but that is not what it is listed as in the title. You did not explain HOW to write a provisional patent... Am I wrong?
I know what you mean. His information is very good though, it takes the fear out of it and does provide excellent conceptual guidance. I think, however, what I suspect you're looking for is something like this.... watch it through, I think you'll find it very good indeed, and the step by step guidance you're looking for. th-cam.com/video/gcmrbUzO3S0/w-d-xo.html
Yes you are wrong for he did explain, but maybe not in detail as you expected. I mean he told you to write out a description in such a way where as all the variations of it are included. So companies can't work around it.
OMG where have you been lol. I am beyond appreciative and greatful that you put your time in. I sincerely want to thank you. It's become incredibly difficult to find anyone who can communicate properly. Your great wish didn't take so long to find ya.
This is very helpful. I have two questions! 1. A provisional can be cheaper if you're a small entity or micro entity, but I've read in the requirements, in order to qualify as those smaller entities, you have income and employees less than a certain number AND cannot license or sell it to a larger entity. If you can't sell or license it to a larger entity, that takes a way a TON of purpose in planning. IS this true and how do I be a small business and still license to a big business? 2. Suppose it costs me $65.00 to apply for the provisional, but I want to add multiple drawings to cover planned variations of the invention... does it cost money PER image when filing the provisional? Or can I add 10 images at once and just pay the $65.00? PLEASE let me know, these two questions are important and I can't find an answer to these specific questions. Thanks for the great videos.
@Breakerbox Studios... I know this is 3 years later, but nobody answered your question. Also, I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but I'd never heard what you mentioned so I looked into it. I think you're misunderstanding a part of the wording. See www.uspto.gov/patents/laws/micro-entity-status the last bullet under (1) Gross Income Basis heading. I think what they're saying is that if you are already under an obligation to license to a large company, you'd need to pay the large company fees. This won't happen to you, as a small inventor, you'll be filing your PPA before you shop around your sell sheet. So at that time, you didn't assign anyone the patent rights nor are you under obligation to assign or license it to them. IF you get a company interested in your idea, at InventRight they teach you to try to get the first licensor to pay for the full non-provisional patent (but you're still always assigned the rights!), then it would no longer be micro-entity fees when you file the NPPA, but it doesn't really matter since they are picking up the tab anyway. In other words, you'd categorize into micro-entity status when filing the PPA, but into some other status when filing the NPPA, but not paying the bill and having a signed licensing deal at that point.
Wow I was reading The Comments and I didn't realize I had Left a Comment here about 7 months ago and Now I'm an inventRight Member. I achieved One of My Goals to become Your Student. I highly recommend it to any one that is on the sidelines, Note do Your Homework to Succeed!
This video is a sales pitch.The thing is, you really do have helpful products. Started on my first PPA, and yes, I'm feeling daunted. I want to do it on my own, but I've read, and watched videos, and have found a lot of confusing information. Smart IP might be the thing that breaks through it all, so that I can feel confident about the result.
It's true. From time to time we discuss our products, because we believe in them. SmartIP has helped many, many people. Thank you for watching! Once you complete your first PPA the second will be much easier! You can do this.
I'd say you have about the best charisma and personality I've seen on TH-cam in years or possibly ever. You make the professional influencers look like amateurs, where did you learn these insane sales skills?
I’d like to know how to patent when finding new uses for previously patented products? While I have at least two improvements ( points of difference) , it is still very close to another patented product, but the application would be in a completely different category.
After applying for a PPA through USPTO, how long do you have to wait til you can go out and talk about it, try to sell it? In Romania it's 4 - 6 months, by our PTO's rules.
As a product design engineer and I can confirm that companies pay their hired guns to design around patents. Good companies in competitive markets understand the patent mine field in their market space and work toward innovating in the space between the mines (patents).
Hi Dion. We are interested in interviewing you for an article. Please share your email address or reach out to madeleine@stephenkeymedia.com if interested! Hope to hear from you.
Great benefits for using a PPA and SmartIP, Stephen. The details and examples in your 'Sell Your Ideas with or without a Patent' book also hits it home - mahalo🙏!
Here is an idea to increase viewership to your channel: I like to share a common problem faced by newbies drafting the descriptions. It is about the Interpretation of a rule related to patent drawings : 37 C.F.R. 1.84 : (4) The same part of an invention appearing in more than one view of the drawing must always be designated by the same reference character, and the same reference character must never be used to designate different parts. Question : 1. Is the View and Drawing mentioned referring to one angle of looking at one particular embodiment drawing or does it mean any and every view for all drawings , views of all embodiments within the detailed description? 1. Some have interpreted the rule to mean that exactly the same part of a particular embodiment must be referenced using exactly the same reference number within the description for that particular embodiment. So, different numbers can be used to reference the same part with some differences in form in different embodiments. For example, one number range per embodiment. And I can find such granted patents. 2. Others , which appears to be the majority, interpreted it to mean the same part must be referred to using exactly the same reference number and by View it means views across all embodiments. There are also such granted patents . Where the rule is creating confusion: 1. It uses the word drawing. What is drawing ? One drawing ? If one drawing, it can mean just one embodiment. Or does it mean every drawing? If the word DrawingS is used, it could mean views of all embodiments. 2. What is meant by a View? A view of one embodiment or views across all embodiments? 3. I see the problem originates from the fact that English allows for different interpretations no matter how clearly it is written. And the Best Practices supersede possible alternative literally valid interpretations. So it depends ultimately on the judge and then the federal judge. Why is there no clarity? What is the best practice?
Stephen I have subscribed to inventRightTV and bought your book. Only wish there was a way to hire someone like you guys to guide me through this process.

Hi expert Stephen Is there a rule covering how reference numbers need to be narrated in the detailed description? I mean, is there a rule to follow where when describing the invention, reference numbers being mentioned must be mentioned in ascending order only? For eg. Can we describe in this way : Car 100 comprises an engine 120 and a carriage 110. Or is it that we must write it this way : Car 100 comprises a carriage 110 and an engine 120? Must the numbers be mentioned in ascending order only?
I am glad I came across your videos about PPA, Mr Stephen. Great videos that honest and forthright. Should I submit a provisional patent even though what I am building is made from parts of other tools and various stock appliances bought from hardware stores? Do I need to do a prior art search before even filing a provisional patent application or should I get in touch with a patent attorney or agent, before I do any of these? Should I pay legalzoom to submit a PPA for me?
If it has new functionality you can still get a PPA or patent. Filling a PPA on your own is only $75 so why not? - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder
Hey you mentioned how you created a patent for an invention that was similar to an old patent but there was a point of difference. Could you elaborate on what constitutes enough of a point of difference? Seems like an important topic to address. Thanks!
I have several inventions that will change a lot of different work and home issues. Necessity is the Mother of all invention. My fear is putting a search out for them and red flagging my idea. I need the best strategy here.
Stephen, thanks for helping us inventors by sharing your amazing knowledge. Will your Smart IP program work for me as a South African too, or not? Thanks.
My question is: I want my idea protected BEFORE I go to the engineer/artist who can figure out how to make my idea reality. If I have to include the design IN the provisional patent, what keeps the designer from stealing my idea?
I just finished writing my PPA thanks to the Smart iP program on Invent Right. After struggling for a week in writing a patent on my own the program was a boost that was much needed. Thanks a ton Gene Quinn, Stephen & Andrew.
@ inventRightTV ... I've heard it said that to be patentable, an invention cannot be disclosed prior to patent submission. But the USA switched from First to invent to First to patent back in 2012 (ish) ... which presumably means that things already in the public domain CAN be patented ? And I think that at the time of switching, that the US was the last remaining country with FTI patent laws ?
Thank you. Question, at the 3:05 mark, you discuss prior art search, google image search, which is helpful, thank you. But how do you go about trying to figure out WHY a filed application never got to market. In other words, if you see your idea has been already invented, how can you figure out WHY it didn't get to market?
Hi Jerome. Good question. The straightforward answer is to contact the patent owner. More on that here: www.entrepreneur.com/article/308829 Thank you for watching!
inventRightTV / Really enjoying my reading, Great way to get Educated and relax after a long hard day at work. I give all 3 of your books 2 thumbs up bd, But I'm going to read one at a time Starting with "One Simple Idea for Startups and Entrepreneurs" My Fiance thinks I'm obsessed, LOL she has no Idea what I'm doing. She's always asking me not to order any more books but if I know they will add value to my Life then it a No Brainer and when I ordered your book's it feel into that category. I will be one of your Members of InventRight in the Future without a doubt. Thanks for Sharing Your Knowledge Stephen...
Firstly, thank a lot for the ton of information and knowledge you are sharing.. :) Secondly, can a person not a citizen of USA, file a provisional patent application in USA?
Since PPAs expire after 12 months, and the USPTO does not look into it, can we reapply? I imagine we can if there was a minor 'tweek'? Is there any fine print we ought to be aware of? Please advise. Thank you! Also, I own and am on chapter 8 of your One Simple Idea book. Another also, do you have any restaurant connections I may borrow? If not completely wild, may I also borrow Damon Kali? I think I may be on to something :)
thank you so much for you honesty and energy, i have three good ideas for patents right now but i'm broke and i'm afraid to spend money with this corona-virus, if i live paycheck to paycheck is it worth the risk to start doing patents?
You don't need a patent to license a simple idea. You should focus on teaching yourself the steps to license a product instead. Stephen's book "One Simple Idea" is a great starting point: www.amazon.com/gp/product/1259589676/
@@inventRight this is great. Thank you so much . I'm gonna take action now and jump right into it. Glad I got to see this video and blessed to get a reply 👍😊
I am only interested in how to license a patent. I would rather license it to a manfacturer already in the industry to develop the product. How can I get help with the documentation?
Hi, there seems to be a lack of or no video teaching about the patenting of a Process. Specifically, I am interested in processes excluding programming. I am not sure what are all the processes that are considered as patentable Pocesses
It sure is! Stephen was head of design at the startup that brought Teddy Ruxpin to market in the 80s: www.inc.com/stephen-key/new-bear-same-stories-wicked-cool-toys-relaunches-.html www.linkedin.com/pulse/congratulations-paul-rago-dave-small-your-lifetime-achievement-key/
Love your channel! Can an LLC file for the PPA and are there any disadvantages to doing this? I plan to approach the different companies using the LLC since when I get the royalties, I want the royalties to be paid to the LLC.
We just posted a video all about forming an LLC! It features the leading expert on LLCs for entrepreneurs, Matt of LLC University: th-cam.com/video/Xy0EGtuRvks/w-d-xo.html
We give our students software to do it or you can hire an attorney. It's something anyone can do. I recomend doing it yourself. - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder

@@FlorianThe4th I wonder if this is addressed in his books...? I just ordered his most recent book, and got his first book from the local library. Hoping all will be explained. 😊
I have a contract from a big company and the deadline is coming up and I dont know what to do next. I watch you 2 and would love you to look at my idea I'm sure you get this alot . But I think the offer isnt great. Can you look
Lets say for instance I want to patent something in the USA and the examiner does an search, do they only search in USA or world wide. If someone already has a patent in lets say France but has no PCT or they haven't filed in USA does this mean my patent will or won't be granted in the USA. If for some reason I'm not granted the patent then it will be possible to still manufacture and sell the product in all the other countries where the original patent inventor didn't register in without having any legal ramifications.
my biggest problem is the draawing or prototype,,i have a 3d imager but not computer savy,,anyone know who can build my prototypel for a percentage of future sales ?
Hello, I have watched many of your video and visited your website many times, but most of your video are based on a product more than a particular "service" addition to companies field. I have a service idea that I would like to license to a company. Now I googled my idea, and there is something very similar but branched to their own direction. Could I still license my idea in a left turn when they took a right turn?
Yes it does: www.amazon.com/Sell-Your-Ideas-Without-Patent/dp/1507885733/ You may also consider checking out SmartIP, our program for writing provisional patent applications that are actually valuable: inventright.com/what-we-offer/smartip-offer Thank you for watching.
Okay... so in layman‘s terms you’re saying that I need to buy your book in order to figure out how to write a provisional patent application? Hmm 🤔 Sounds like a bit of a catch 22… If you buy my book… Give me your money… I will give you said information… That may or may not help.
Isabella Don't take me wrong but Mr Key also pointing finger at "YOU" can best right your PPA to take the ownership. We all have to learn somewhere either book or go to DIY Video Clips. We all need little push. Some need big push N few need little. If the Key book cost say 50 $? But it is worth to teach us to put our foot in the door. I never met Mr Key. Never talked to him, not his agent. But looking forward to see him some day, even I have to buy a Plane ticket to fly to Nevada. It is worth Shaking Hands with him including Mr Andrew. If U still have some questions? Talk to me and we will together speak with Mr Key.
What if you have actual pictures? And a prototype? I have already been selling my idea so I need to do this asap. I just ordered your book but by the time I get through a book it will probably be selling in Walmart.
Hi Gabbs. Yes. If you are filing a provisional patent application in the U.S. (which you should do if you want to license to companies located here) we have created many resources to help.

37 C.F.R. 1.84 :

You're welcome! Thank you for watching. Please subscribe if you haven’t already.
My question is: I want my idea protected BEFORE I go to the engineer/artist who can figure out how to make my idea reality. If I have to include the design IN the provisional patent, what keeps the designer from stealing my idea?
Have them sign an NDA ?
Is there another explanation of the step-by-step process of patenting a patent in USPTO, knowing that I am now registered in PCT
The govt lady told me it is up to $70 now- just so customers dont wig out wondering where the $65 might be
It's actually $80. USD
Thank you
Hello, is there anything like The PPA for Europe?
I just finished writing my PPA thanks to the Smart iP program on Invent Right. After struggling for a week in writing a patent on my own the program was a boost that was much needed. Thanks a ton Gene Quinn, Stephen & Andrew.
This is so great to hear! Thanks for sharing!!
did your PPA get approved?
OMG I love you guys thanks soooooo much!!! Soooo appreciate this information.
Thank you. You will see my product soon.
@
inventRightTV ... I've heard it said that to be patentable, an invention cannot be disclosed prior to patent submission.
But the USA switched from First to invent to First to patent back in 2012 (ish) ... which presumably means that things already in the public domain CAN be patented ?
And I think that at the time of switching, that the US was the last remaining country with FTI patent laws ?
Good job Steve!
Does the UK have a provisional patent application process?
Great content brother
Thank you. Question, at the 3:05 mark, you discuss prior art search, google image search, which is helpful, thank you. But how do you go about trying to figure out WHY a filed application never got to market. In other words, if you see your idea has been already invented, how can you figure out WHY it didn't get to market?
Hi Jerome. Good question. The straightforward answer is to contact the patent owner. More on that here: www.entrepreneur.com/article/308829
Thank you for watching!
Thanks bro
Thanks Again Stephen, for the awesome info. Got your book A Simple Idea Start-Up Today! Jesse
Thank you for reading! What do you think of the book?
inventRightTV / Really enjoying my reading, Great way to get Educated and relax after a long hard day at work. I give all 3 of your books 2 thumbs up bd, But I'm going to read one at a time Starting with "One Simple Idea for Startups and Entrepreneurs" My Fiance thinks I'm obsessed, LOL she has no Idea what I'm doing. She's always asking me not to order any more books but if I know they will add value to my Life then it a No Brainer and when I ordered your book's it feel into that category. I will be one of your Members of InventRight in the Future without a doubt. Thanks for Sharing Your Knowledge Stephen...
.
Firstly, thank a lot for the ton of information and knowledge you are sharing.. :) Secondly, can a person not a citizen of USA, file a provisional patent application in USA?
Since PPAs expire after 12 months, and the USPTO does not look into it, can we reapply? I imagine we can if there was a minor 'tweek'? Is there any fine print we ought to be aware of? Please advise. Thank you! Also, I own and am on chapter 8 of your One Simple Idea book. Another also, do you have any restaurant connections I may borrow? If not completely wild, may I also borrow Damon Kali? I think I may be on to something :)
The wording on a patent application is vital, if you don't do it correctly it is worthless. I have worked in the industry since 1993.
Thanks Bernie. - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder
What if somebody has something similar in the Uk, but not in the US. And it has been close to twenty years? I just bought your book.
I would need more information.
thank you so much for you honesty and energy, i have three good ideas for patents right now but i'm broke and i'm afraid to spend money with this corona-virus, if i live paycheck to paycheck is it worth the risk to start doing patents?
You don't need a patent to license a simple idea. You should focus on teaching yourself the steps to license a product instead. Stephen's book "One Simple Idea" is a great starting point: www.amazon.com/gp/product/1259589676/
@@inventRight this is great. Thank you so much . I'm gonna take action now and jump right into it. Glad I got to see this video and blessed to get a reply 👍😊
I am only interested in how to license a patent. I would rather license it to a manfacturer already in the industry to develop the product. How can I get help with the documentation?
Hi, there seems to be a lack of or no video teaching about the patenting of a Process. Specifically, I am interested in processes excluding programming. I am not sure what are all the processes that are considered as patentable Pocesses
Contact a patent attorney who specializes in patenting a process - Stephen and Andrew are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice.
I love you Stephen!!!!! Thank You... Hold up is that Teddy Ruxpin behind you??? I had one as a kid!!! It was my favorite book
It sure is! Stephen was head of design at the startup that brought Teddy Ruxpin to market in the 80s:

Dear " Big Kahuna "- Are you aware whether or not these ideas are applicable in Canada ? Thanx !
Love your channel! Can an LLC file for the PPA and are there any disadvantages to doing this? I plan to approach the different companies using the LLC since when I get the royalties, I want the royalties to be paid to the LLC.
We just posted a video all about forming an LLC! It features the leading expert on LLCs for entrepreneurs, Matt of LLC University: th-cam.com/video/Xy0EGtuRvks/w-d-xo.html
you are the best you are the king,ı cant believe how gold explanations.
Can I file that if from outside USA ?
Thank you very informative and to the point.
Thank you. Stephen knows his stuff when it comes to IP. - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder
What companies facilitate the filing of a PPA?
We give our students software to do it or you can hire an attorney. It's something anyone can do. I recomend doing it yourself. - Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder
@@inventRight I wrote my application, cover sheet and micro status agreement. What website is best to file if I'm doing it on my own?
Thank you,
Florian
@@FlorianThe4th I wonder if this is addressed in his books...? I just ordered his most recent book, and got his first book from the local library. Hoping all will be explained. 😊
Can i publish my idea after filing provisional patent without infringing any of qualifying criteria to file final patent?
I have a contract from a big company and the deadline is coming up and I dont know what to do next. I watch you 2 and would love you to look at my idea I'm sure you get this alot . But I think the offer isnt great. Can you look
We'd love to help you if we can. Get in touch! www.inventright.com/contact
Lets say for instance I want to patent something in the USA and the examiner does an search, do they only search in USA or world wide. If someone already has a patent in lets say France but has no PCT or they haven't filed in USA does this mean my patent will or won't be granted in the USA.
If for some reason I'm not granted the patent then it will be possible to still manufacture and sell the product in all the other countries where the original patent inventor didn't register in without having any legal ramifications.
Hi there, do you know if a Canadian can file for a US PPA themselves? Thanks
Great channel by the way. Much appreciated!
Yep!

Where is Steven Quinn 😕. I need him
Who is Steven Quinn?
Always on point!👍
Thank you for watching.
Hello, I have watched many of your video and visited your website many times, but most of your video are based on a product more than a particular "service" addition to companies field. I have a service idea that I would like to license to a company. Now I googled my idea, and there is something very similar but branched to their own direction. Could I still license my idea in a left turn when they took a right turn?
You might be able to. Our cofounder Andrew Krauss would be happy to discuss with you: www.meetme.so/AndrewKrauss
THANK YOU SIR! IT’S HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!!👍👍
Hi Arwin, Thanks for the kind words and keep watching our shows to learn more. -Andrew Krauss, inventRight Co-Founder
Awesome, thanks !
Hi, does your book have examples of how to write a provisional patent application? I wish to get one. Thanks
Yes it does: www.amazon.com/Sell-Your-Ideas-Without-Patent/dp/1507885733/

Thank you for watching.
Okay... so in layman‘s terms you’re saying that I need to buy your book in order to figure out how to write a provisional patent application? Hmm 🤔
Sounds like a bit of a catch 22… If you buy my book… Give me your money… I will give you said information… That may or may not help.
Isabella Don't take me wrong but Mr Key also pointing finger at "YOU" can best right your PPA to take the ownership. We all have to learn somewhere either book or go to DIY Video Clips. We all need little push. Some need big push N few need little. If the Key book cost say 50 $? But it is worth to teach us to put our foot in the door. I never met Mr Key. Never talked to him, not his agent. But looking forward to see him some day, even I have to buy a Plane ticket to fly to Nevada. It is worth Shaking Hands with him including Mr Andrew. If U still have some questions? Talk to me and we will together speak with Mr Key.
What if you have actual pictures? And a prototype? I have already been selling my idea so I need to do this asap. I just ordered your book but by the time I get through a book it will probably be selling in Walmart.

Hello Steve! I have a good idea but I live in Spain but my idea is for beauty companies in US. Can I still do it your way? Should I buy the book?
Hi Gabbs. Yes. If you are filing a provisional patent application in the U.S. (which you should do if you want to license to companies located here) we have created many resources to help. The book "Sell Your Ideas With or Without a Patent" is a great guide (www.amazon.com/Sell-Your-Ideas-Without-Patent/dp/1507885733/)
