    Thanks for the video. I didn’t think you could patent an app because I didn’t think a business idea was patentable.

      If you invent a method or process that has a tangible technology improvement, it is patentable.

    We may do this but how can we ensure that our idea is not stolen? Even with working with (not to discredit you or your organization) you, for example. I'll be getting that book though

      There’s always a risk of infringement, and in many ways, it can actually be a good thing. For one, it tells a story that your invention has a market and demand - you may very well make a business partner out of an infringer.

    If there is an app already doing the same thing but no Patent, can I still Patent my App which does the same thing ?

    • @npham54
      @npham54 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, unfortunately you can't patent something that is already available out in the public domain, and especially if you aren't the original creator. Now they may issue you a provisional, and even a full patent if you take it that far, but all it takes is one person to submit data to the patent office about the other app existing before yours, even without a patent, then you will lose your patent rights and the money you spent on it.

    Do you need to know how to code and what’s the cost of all the services?

    • @j.d.houvener6868
      @j.d.houvener6868 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No you do not! In fact, the software code is not patent protectable, copyright law is better suited. Patent protection will protect the functionality that the software app provides - which is a lot broader, because it could be coded a million different ways, but still be your process/method.

    Is it legal for a patent lawyer or company to take a deal lets say as to cover the cost of the patent to gain leverage or stake in that said idea?

    • @boldpatents
      @boldpatents  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it is legal, but it is not something our firm does. It is often called "Taking equity in your client's business" in exchange for legal fees. To me, it muddies the waters and crosses the line. I want to always be transparent and unbiased in offering legal opinions, not thinking or worrying about how/when I'm going to get paid.

    I have a idea for a app I've bounced it off a couple of people no one official yet but all they said it was a great idea and that it could work but unfortunately I do not have money to even patent let alone make it into a actually app and do not wanna take the risk for someone else to take such as a bigger company

    • @boldpatents
      @boldpatents  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't have to develop the app before seeking patent protection. All you have to do is describe its major functions in detail. If you'd like to see if you have enough to move forward, schedule a free 15 min screening session here: calendly.com/business-consultations/am06-youtube

    So do you create the software before you patent the idea?

    • @boldpatents
      @boldpatents  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, you do not need to create the software to protect it! However, you must be able to describe (and show through flowcharts or GUIs as needed) what the software does from a process/method perspective. Step by step and function by function.

      Same thing I want to make an web/application but it’s in a market which is very competitive and is dominated by 2 or 3 main players I’m scared once they acknowledge my company they will realise the idea and do it quicker better and more efficiently and my main concern is that my patent won’t mean anything as they are big multi million dollar organisations who can get
      Big lawyers to take my patent apart and wipe their butts with it and steal my idea and hard work, is this possible or how can I protect my self please anyone with knowledge on this matter reply

    if you combine prexisting technologies to create a new product thats no other like its. kind, is that patentable?

      If those preexisting technologies have never been combined before (novelty), and there are no publications or teachings in the field of art that would deem that combination obvious (nonobvious), then yes, it is patentable.

      Thanks for your question Tiffany. It does depend on complexity. Generally, $5K-$20K gets the process started with a patentability opinion and patent application. Then another $5-15K during prosecution. Book a free advising session to learn more about the process on our website: www.boldip.com
