    MINDSET PEOPLE

    Patent continuation question

    EXECUTION 
    I have a patent related question. Our patent was granted for issuance but now my patent attorney is asking if I want to go forward with a second “continuation” patent. I’m curious to hear from anyone with experience and see if it really makes sense to go after a second patent. For background...

    Soft Proof and Prototype

    Hi fastlaners. I have a product in mind, it doesn't fill a "need" but I think it warrants a pretty good "want". I am looking into getting a prototype made but before spending all that money I need some soft proof that there actually will be demand for it. However, I can see that as soon as I...

    Steal invention idea, not patented

    IDEA 
    Was hoping to get your input on this. I stumbled upon an invention that is produced overseas (Asia). Its design is simple, but it is unique and therefore patentable (is that even a word lol?). The thing is I am not the inventor. I checked and it doesn't seem to be patented in the US or Canada...

    EXECUTION 
    Hi everyone. I wanted to talk about how would you go about developing, testing, iterating on a product and then taking it through the production steps.

    Patent Already Exists For My Idea?

    IDEA
