    I was pleased to be able to attend a presentation by attorney John Rizvi about intellectual…read moreproperty. He provided an informative and engaging presentation. As someone who worked with a patent attorney many years ago, I needed a brush up. The reality is that patents don't really protect your invention. As soon as a patent is granted, your intellectual property becomes publicly available. The patent gives you the right to sue anyone or any company that infringes on your design. That can be a long and expensive process and is not worth doing until the infringer is making money from your design. The Patent Professor provides a clear understanding of the requirements involved in a successful patent application, critical information for any inventor or innovator before they move forward to submitting a patent application.

    I want to share my experience so other first-time inventors can make a more informed decision…read more Patent Professor provided responsive customer support and was professional throughout the process. However, as a young and inexperienced founder at the time (18 years old), I now feel that I was not properly guided on when a design patent actually makes sense. I moved forward with a design patent before my product had a finalized design, working prototype, or clear understanding of how the product would ultimately function. The sketches I submitted were early concepts, and my final product design has since evolved significantly. As a result, the issued design patent does not meaningfully protect the product I am actually bringing to market. In hindsight, I wish someone at Patent Professor had clearly advised me to finalize my prototype and design details before filing. Instead, the process felt rushed and urgent, and there was no pause to ensure the patent would be practically useful long-term. Additionally, in the draft drawings provided by Patent Professor, there were inconsistencies between views, with certain elements shown in different positions across drawings, which further reduced my confidence in the final result. I take responsibility for moving forward too early, but I believe service providers in this space should clearly educate first-time inventors on timing and strategy, not just execution. My advice to others: do not file a design patent until your product design is truly finalized. Make sure you fully understand what a design patent protects and how it aligns with your actual product roadmap. This review is not written out of anger, but to help others avoid spending money on a patent that may end up serving little purpose if filed prematurely.
