How do I patent something

[NQ 952]

Fam, I need advice. How do I patent a thing I made. It's an actual physical thing and not software.

Anyone got any memes to help?

You can file a provisional application for a patent. That will protect you for a year. As soon as that’s done, you can put “patent pending” on whatever it is you filed for.

Write © on it. And then ™ for good measure.

Don't forget the date on which you came up with it.

You gotta make sure to write "this is my OC do not steal".

Hire Frank Chu. He just makes a screaming mongoloid chinkface and they immediately grant a patent just to get rid of him and not have to look at him any more.

I mean Wu. Whatever. That chink dude.

 

[MacMasonry]

Cum in a box and send it to the nearest courthouse?

 

[ForgedBlades]

Call the number for that company with the caveman that advertises during Springer and Judge Judy.

 

[Caesare]

Hire Frank Chu.

God bless you.

 

[unfathomable]

Patents don't mean shit the chinks will still copy you at the end of the day.

Getting a patent is a time intensive and potentially costly endeavor. I highly recommend that you get a patent lawyer, which will potentially get expensive. It is very critical that the application is filed correctly because even if it is, it will take a year or so for the process to be finished. Even a seemingly minor error will cause potential for decades in delays.

Its also important that you do the research necessary to determine that the item you have warrants a patent and that there isn't a conflicting patent already in existence. This again adds cost to the task of getting a patent.

The other issue is if your employer has rights over the work you do. This is an issue that many engineers run into because their employment contracts give their rights away.
