Thanks for your help today! I’ll get with you next week to move forward.
Thank you sir! for the info
@@needaspitcredi3533 Well life got in the way for a week. I hope to reach out to you today to start the ball rolling on the patent process. Thanks again.
Just subscribed. Good video...why you don't have more view and subscribers is beyond me. Thanks!!
Thank you. My 14yr old daughter bikini danced with her 19 year old babysitter next to our pool and got 2M views on Tik Tok. I'm clearly posting the wrong kind of videos. 😉. Warmest wishes, -john
I've been an inventor, designer, manufacturer, and marketer of hundreds of professional technical tools for more than 50-years and have never applied for a patent on a single one! In the 80's I read an article from a fellow inventor stating the following: patents provide zero protection, they provide only one thing, the precedent to sue an infringer in a court of law. If you do not have the sizeable money to pay an attorney to bring this lawsuit to court, attorneys will rarely if ever, take a patent infringement case on contingency, unless it provides multiple millions of dollars for the attorney. In addition, if you do not bring suit against every infringer on your patent, you will lose the ability to bring suit after only one year! This is why I've never applied for a patent, I simply marketed my products with a money back guarantee of utility, and at a reasonable price for the marketplace. David Riddle
Hi David, thank you for your message. I agree that the 80s were a dark period for inventors. Things have dramatically changed in recent years with the growth in online sales and the willingness of online platforms to support inventors and their patents.

Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving your comment. I am very grateful to have you here 😊 -john
Thanks for the info. What about the original handlebar streamers you referenced? Were they patented? I’m asking to help refine what is considered useful as I’m not sure I can see any utility. Thanks.
I don't know if handlebar streamers have ever been patented. But of course they are useful. Handlebar streamers are colorful and bring joy and smiles and make a bike a lot more fun to ride. 😊 Also, they arguably draw attention to the bike and make it more visible in traffic. I think they are patentable if new and nonobvious, but there may also be some grumpy, no-fun judges that might not agree with me. Hope this helps. Warmest wishes, -john
Sir, do you know about "think fast think smart" book so I want to recommend you to read this book and makes a video about the book ... You will learn so many things....

Thank You Very Much, John! As always, it is very informative and intelligible. After your videos, I want to come up with something useful and necessary! :)
I would like to know about process of getting patent. Where I can get this information. Thanks
Are you interested in filing a Provisional Application or a regular Utility application? Perhaps I can provide you some YT links. Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving your comment. I am very grateful to have you here 😊 -john
Sir thank you for your explanation. My name is Louie Abad from the Philippines. I have discover that the thing who always used of the people who have vehicle is disposable. Now if I re transform it and the parts of item is replaceable and I go to the manufacturer and talk to them that this item we can create a new transformation. That if this sold to the market it is user friendly and economically users will not trash it easily. How can I protect my idea. This thing I created is very simple idea but no one ever manufacturer come up this idea. I know people badly needed this idea, because people can save this thing that so expensive when you bought brand new. If one company create new transformation I am 100% the other competitors will be manufacture the same transformation. then how can i protect my idea and to have income. I need help sir, the name of my new innovation is LSCB.
I mean sir how can I protect my idea if I transform this thing from disposable to be a replaceable when the system is down. I also mean that I incourage the company that instead this we create this. Then if this thing created how can I compensate. Or this idea can not claim entelectual rights. Hope you help me to understand what should I do. Thank you sir.

@@johnferrellesq. thanks, I'm just trying to get started in the field. you have many interesting videos, love the calm and collected style 🥰maybe about how to know whether a particular idea/invention is worth pursuing and a walkthrough on the licensing process? 🙂🤙
@@johnferrellesq. another idea: should you strive for as many patents (preliminary or otherwise) as possible or as overarching as possible?
