My new Patent...You can't see yet!

Working on the coffee cup lid Patent.

January13

Sorry, I can’t show you or talk to you about my new design until I have applied for my patent!

I can tell you that there is a lot of work that goes into researching and protecting an idea that you might come up with. My recommendation, take a little more time than you think it would take and do it right. Save up a little extra money and get a patent attorney (someone you can physically talk to). None of this online B.S.

I’ve also learned a lot about different types of plastics. Who would have thought that there were so many types and varieties of plastic products? Not me!

My current status on the Coffee Cup Patent:
Writing my description about my product for my patent application. If anyone else wants to apply for a patent, here is the link for the “provisional application for patent” PDF.

I’ll keep you updated as I go.

Have an awesome day and keep thinking of more you can do and become!

P.S. I would strongly recommend this book(or audiobook…it’s more my style), if you want to increase your knowledge in the financial areas of your life. There is some good stuff about protecting the money you will have someday!

Thomas,

Thank you for all of the compliments and comments you push my way (they make me want to keep blogging…I know someone is reading! )

I love trying to find a clean image online that puts a fun spin on my message. If you want to see some Really clean photos, take a look at David’s Blog.

Thanks again and have an awesome day!

What’s wrong with the current coffee cup lid?

Kelsey,
Great question.

When I think about creating patents for certain products, it is not because the existing product has something wrong with it (most of the time). It is a way to ‘add’ to the existing product. So that is what I am going to do, add something that has been missing. Something that people would enjoy having.

Thank again,
