Thank you for the kind comment. I am curious what other types of videos you watch. Are there other entrepreneur topics I could address that you would be interested in watching? Warmest wishes, --john
Hey I have a question about patents. Please can you explain this scenario. Person A makes a grocery bag with buttons to prevent things from falling out. Person A has a patent for their invention. Later on Person B makes pretty much the exact same grocery bag but with a zipper instead. Person B does not have a patent. Is person B infringing on person A’s patent?
Hi John A. Thank you for the question. Infringement is determined by the patent claims at the end of the patent. First let's assume the patent claim recites: a Grocery Bag having four side walls and buttons to seal the bag. In this case a competing bag with a zipper instead of buttons would not infringe. However, if instead the patent claim recites: a Grocery Bag having four side walls and a closing mechanism to seal the bag, then both the button bag and the zipper bag would infringe the patent since both of these are closing mechanisms. Hope this helps. 😊 -john

even if the type of closing mechanism is not determined in the description?
