When is the proper timeframe for you to build your finalized Prototype? The safest time to begin doing so would be after you recieve your Notice of Allowance for your Non-Provisional Utility Grant. That is because your patent grant is on its way and will soon be published by the Patent and Trademark Office.

Here's the value of my books...
I have at minimum, well over 1,000 hours of writing that has gone into each piece. Both books are the culmination of a 20 year long journey that started off with nothing more than an idea.
So..., I started off right where you are.
MY BIO
I am the most cited inventor in the history of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in the field of oil filtration; a ten billion dollar, annually repeatable market in North America alone. worldclassinve...
Besides learning how to write, I had to teach myself everything that it takes to produce a first class book, and there's way more to it than you realize. Writing these books turned out to be a labor of love, while at the same time provided a much needed catharsis for my bruised soul.
I wrote these books over a decade apart. The time period was punctuated by the Walmart fiasco. A full-blown run-up to a lawsuit with Honeywell; notwithstanding, the Nine-Count complex Intellectual Property lawsuit which I waged against them on the Federal District Court level for over 4 years, backed up by Suburban load of documents.
Here's the method to my madness...
I'm assuming that those of us who gather here on this channel are perhaps creative, inquisitive, inventive, tinkerers, DIY'ers, product developers & dreamers of sorts... so I'm hoping.
The Question remains... Should you dare to build it..., and ... "will they come?" If you have an idea that's beginning to possess your soul, you're going to be in need of a realistic roadmap that can help get you to your final destination.
The journey...
It's now my hope, that you might come along and take the 'Inventors Journey' with me in earnest.
In turn, I will gladly share my hard-earned insights with you in the expectation that you might one day know the answers for yourself...
"IF YOU BUILD IT, WILL THEY COME?"

Thank you for being straight with the truth of how to proceed and the pit falls, i come from a line of successful inventors. I have lived through the thieft of ideas. My grand mother did the fold away baby play pen and bed, and the cheese cutter roller and wire. My mother did the push button automatic located on the middle of the cars steering wheel / Edsel / even with my personal education i learn new insight and tricks. Please continue with the vedios.
W. D., Lilian, Beth.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment. I recieved my utility patent grant today! In my estimatation, 90-95% of all valuable ideas get stolen from small time backyard inventors like your family and myself included.
Inventing is not a game for the uninitiated, hence my channel.
I plan on doing a video on my patent grant this week. ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/pages/ppubsbasic.html
Lilian... thank you for your [sad but true] commentary. Read my prior response to Brent. This is the dark side of inventing that exists below the surface, where giving birth to new ideas enters the public domain can oftentimes set up the attack/steal.
Email me and I'll send you my books.
Is there potential law firm that is willing to fight FREELY for individual against big elephant when they see a huge compensation or fine from this IP litigation? I mean they are not helping the inventor but just want to share the pie of the patent?
No... IP Litigation is extremely complex and super expensive to conduct. Therefore there are precious few IP litigation lawfirms that will do this on a contingency basis. And I don't know of any.
In days past, a lawfirm hired on a contingency basis would get 33 1/3 of the settlement. Today as a contingent plantiff, you'd be lucky to get 25% of any settlement in an IP lawsuit.
I am an inventor for hire as you are with I think with the filters or at least for some portion of your career. Ziploc never an issue, Aerospace never an issue because the up front cost were so huge and the fortune 100 companies would take them to court.
I worked for large consumer corporations but not fortune 500 companies. They do not want to talk to individual inventors because the risk of getting sued. Their researchers are just as good as the individual inventor and from personal experience people tend to think along similar lines as the information in the field change over time. The companies researchers maybe filing a similar patent. So you will only get their ear with a patent in hand. Or well into the process. And even then researchers like me will sit down and determine if it has any real value for the company. I have done this a few times. I have found claims that will not work as stated.
My guess is that the companies patent attorney was involved before I was asked to analyze the individual inventor's invention.
Very erudite comment Thomas! I really appreciate your thoughts!
As I have studied the prior art as cited against me by the various Examiners that I've come up against, [and that's what really matters]..., I can rather confidently conclude that the overwhelming majority of the citations referenced against my applications have been air castles & worthless from both a practical and a financial standpoint.
When I dissect the prior art as cited against me, I evaluate each and every citaion with the same critical eye & exactitude as I do my own invention. In the inventing game... self-delusion equals total failure... not worth the energy.
I have only undertaken this journey 3 times and my goal is not to earn plaque or patent grant, but to make millions$$ from this arduous journey. For me this is about the money. No diffrent than buying a piece of income property and holding on to it for 20 years. Inventing/ patents just happens to be my vehicle of choice towards reaching that end goal.
I have never charged a dime for helping would-be inventors who have reached out to me. I truely enjoy helping others navigate through this most highly complex adventure and I do not sugarcoat my opinions when solicited.

Hi Steve, per the video, contact potential licensee after publication is not persuasive that you will finally be granted by office? But it published? I mean every one and company can see it after publication even you didn’t contact them.
The AIA Inventors data sheet gives the inventor the option to keep the application private. In my particular case we didn't check that box off. Maybe we should have, but it is really no biggie in my particular case.
Under the American Invents Act, it is the first to file, not the First to Invent as in days gone by. This protocol of First to file is standand operating proceedure throughout most of the 195 counties on the globe.
If I had invented something very valuanble in the field of electronics, which moves at a significantly more rapid pace... it would have been a prudent move.
What you may not realize, unless you have done this sucessfully before is this.... Business and Industry are not clamoring for most independent Inventor's pantented invention. Thus, the Inventors job is to ptotect the IP through a patent if it is appropriate, and then market that invention as if his/her life depends on it.
@@worldclassinventors thank you for valuable opinions, really appreciated
@@firstime ok you're welcome
So wait, in order to defend your oil filter patents against Honeywell you had to become your own lawyer and fight them in court for 5 years? I think most people watching your videos who are considering filing a patent could never do that themselves. So does it really make sense to file a patent if you can’t defend it against infringement? That’s the giant elephant in the room that needs to be dealt with in your patent strategy, because 99.99% of inventors watching this can’t afford to defend a patent against infringement. And also the licensing revenues that would would get from a patent need to far exceed the legal costs of defending that patent, which in most cases would run you $5 million per infringement case if it goes to trial.
Brent... thanx for your insightful observation! Your assessments are frairly accurate. There is a whole IP world which exists that the bright-eyed backyard inventor has no clue about as they set forth on this journey.
And... you can't know it unless you have personally gone through it or at the very least, have been made aware of it by someone who has.
These are not my ground rules.
This is the reality of patents & their inherent shortcomings, of which there are many. Owning a VALUABLE PATENT is like protecting a piece of fresh meat from a pack of blood thirsty wolves. In my experience/estimation, 95% of all valuable patents will suffer an attack.
Conversely, the overwhelming majority of patents grants are worthless from either a practical or an economic standpoint.
Email me and I'll send you both my eBooks.
@@worldclassinventors Thanks! How do I email you?
@@worldclassinventors I just started looking into this a day ago, and already I am thinking the whole patent thing sucks and there needs to be a better way. Legal battles are costly and stressful. Just the physical and emotional stress alone in my opinion isn’t worth it. Life is too short. So I am thinking that Coke did it right by not filing a patent for their secret formula, and instead they made a great product and created a strong brand which has far outlasted the lifetime of its founder and creator. That to me is the best of all worlds because you keep your IP protected and it can far outlast the lifetime of what a patent can offer without the legal hassles. Have you researched how Coke did it? That’s next on my list of things to do.
