Who am I?1:28
What does this journey entail?0:30
Why Patents?1:19
Now why the patent? Can't you just run out into the world, waving your idea freely and everyone will happily buy it only from you? No, that is not the case. In this introductory lesson, you will learn the simple reason why we use patents and will need one, plus, you'll learn a little extra detail!
Preliminary Vocabulary Needed to Know1:35
In here, you will find the much needed vocab as well as some nuances within this process. In this introductory lesson, you will learn different types of patents and how they function as well as the certain terms to know which I will reference later! There is more vocab to come :)
Understanding the Constraints1:56
There are so many problematic constraints of the patent, and it is important for you to understand all of these. In this video, I include an extra nuance for you to further understand the process while highlighting the main constraints.
Determining if your idea is Patentable1:15
Before even beginning the patent, you need to see whether it is patentable! This is the most important concept within the field of patents and intellectual property :)
Determining Entity Status1:12
So you are an independent inventor. Of course you don't have thousands and thousands of dollars to dish out just for processing fees, and this is where this policy comes into play. In order to cut independent inventors a break, the USPTO allows micro entity and small entity statuses to influence the discount rate on the processing fee :)
Should You Even Patent this Idea?1:20
In this, I provide you with the final part of the introduction before we begin the actual process of patenting and what to understand plus how to start :)
Mailing0:15

Patent Searching for Both Design and Utility Patents0:49
In this video you will learn the right tools needed to patent search any and every single type of patent in order to give you the best chance to search for prior art before it becomes a real problem after you submit the application!!
Using Keywords to your Advantage0:38
You need to know the best ways to protect your product, and this is how!! By finding prior art, you can shift the product away from those directions and in its own novel, unique path.
What happens if I don't find any prior art? I'm afraid I'll miss one or two.0:27
Note: If they did not show up on the search, they didn't name the product right!

Description

Innovation is the hallmark of creativity, independent drive, and passion within any field. Yet today the problem continues to stand that knowledge surrounding patents is not well known, shared, or openly given, and this is where this course comes in to play. With patent agents and lawyers costing up to $20,000 just for one simple patent application, this course is designed to save you money and time in patent drafting with all fields: from artificial intelligence (AI) to pharmaceutical inventions and product manufacturing!

For complete beginners to those who have just submitted their patent application, you all will be guided through the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website, showing you through all of the gimmicks and little tricks that only lawyers would be taught. When I was applying for my first patent, I was clueless, there were zero helpful videos or websites online detailing how to even navigate the United States Patent and Trademark Office's website, how to file a patent, or even the basic knowledge needed for a patent or trademark in intellectual property law. Many other courses will only detail the top layers, leaving you wondering, "where do I go now?", but this course will be your one and only course on intellectual property rights and patenting, giving you the ins and outs of the process, how to actually make the patent, what each of the files mean, how you can research, and future directions as to your patent in IPR or IP Law.

I am so glad to have you here, as a 4-time research paper author, an inventor who has designed a pharmaceutical product with experience of filing with the USPTO, and a presenter at MIT URTC 2024's Technology for Humanity, I am ready to provide you with what is necessary to pursue all of your future patent-related, creative, and innovative efforts all with this one course.

Who this course is for:

Those looking to push the frontiers with innovation.
