Thank you Stephen Key for your kind comment. For anyone here wanting to make money from their invention, you must check Stephen's company, InventRight at www.inventright.com.
@@johnferrellesq. Woah!!! What!! I just found your(John) channel, and was going to mention if you and Stephen Key would do a podcast collab! (I've only found IR 2 days ago, so I haven't watched *all* episodes. But this is great know you two know each other
@Blackheart, that is a lot of patents you read! Yours is a good strategy, very similar to mine. I do like scanning through one of the independent claims (usually, Claim 1) just to get a feel for what invention was finally allowed. Thank you for watching and commenting. Warm wishes, -john
John great content. For me I quickly look at the drawings first to see if it’s even in the ballpark. If it is, then I will follow your advice. Thank you!
Stephen Key, since you are a Product Design Artist I am not surprised that you would spoil the fun and jump straight to the pictures. :-) Remember the ancient days of book publishing when authors would group all the photos in the middle of the book? BTW, I just caught your video on the best industries for selling your inventions. ruclips.net/video/7qtAktBDaQM/видео.html Of course, making a fortune licensing inventions is not as easy for everyone as it has been for you ;-) ( I actually know the real truth about how hard you work at your craft), but the list of invention-friendly sectors was super-helpful. I think you may be giving away too much of your Secret Information, however! Watch for my upcoming video on why it is important to protect your Trade Secrets. :-) Thank you for visiting my channel, Stephen. -john
Great info!! What's the general opinion with patent examiners and patent attorneys in regards to structure and choice of language in patent application? Which is more preferable; Overly complex words vs general terms the layman can understand? eg. 'Apparatus for retention of 3 dimensioned quadrilateral entities' vs 'Device to store cubes' Which would be less of a headache for them to process the patent quicker in the applicants' favour?
@@johnferrellesq. Ok! Thanks for that. I'll try to write it in terminology with a broad scope. Though that might call for an 'Office Action'? Are office actions always inevitable for a patent application, very curious on that. I wonder if there has been a patent application that has been processed without any need for the examiner to go back to the inventor/attorney to rework the application. Also, I've finished your videos and about 1/3 through your book. I was going to go for a non-standard utility patent, but upon further research on your videos and Stephen Keys' videos I've decided to go with the PPA since you get an extra year for it. I've got a question though, PPA vs Utility/Design/Plant... when you submit the application, the divulging of information is immediately public disclosure for the NON-PPA? But the PPA information is with held until you go forward and actually pay to get it examined? Is my understanding correct? Thanks for the great info! Would love to see a "NNN" video if you deal with those, protect the inventor against shifty manufacturers!

I'm a patent research analyst and I have to read hundreds of patents everyday. I go like title>background>abstract>drawings>advantages

@@johnferrellesq. I go through claims and detailed description too once I identify a patent as prior art to prepare claim chart.
@@blackheart6288 your strategy makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks again for the comments. -john

We should always try to write patent claims that juries can understand easily. Thank you for commenting, Cyber S. 😊 -john
