Recently we met up with Gregory Scott Smith, an intellectual property attorney. And he described what a patent and what it helps with.
What a patent does is it protects your invention and anything that you claim that you made. There are different types of patents depending on what you want it to protect. Types of patents include: utility, design, and plant.
If you get caught using the same idea in the smallest thing such as packaging you could get sued by the real inventor/inventors. Or not get "your invention" patented. We also learned that Trademarks can only protect Slogans, logos, and pictures.
And after learning all about patents we decided to get a provisional patent which will allow us to have one year of protection until we decide to apply for a regular patent.
Mr. Smith agreed to help us with filing for the provisional patent after we wrote our invention description and he agreed to help us with the full patent application later on. The best part is he said he would donate his time for free!
Thank you Mr. Smith and your partners at Smith Risley Tempel Santos LLC!!!
