In this podcast episode, the hosts Samar Shah and Jamie Brophy are interviewed by Jamie's two sons, Griffin and Jordan. The boys have questions about patents, which they ask during the episode.
They learn that a patent is a legal document that gives inventors rights to protect their inventions from being made, sold, or used by others. The process of getting a patent involves writing a patent application and submitting it to the Patent Office for review. It can take several years to obtain a patent due to the backlog of applications at the Patent Office. The cost of obtaining a patent, and more.
Once you have a patent, you need to mark your product as patented when selling it. This notifies others that you have the exclusive rights to the invention and discourages them from copying it. If someone does copy your invention, you can send them a letter asking them to stop. If they refuse, legal action can be taken by filing a lawsuit in federal court.
Overall, patents are important for protecting inventions and preventing others from copying them without permission. And, if someone does steal your invention, patents give you the right to sue infringers.
