Patent Searching Basics: What to do when that lightbulb turns on?
11/30/22 • 29 min
J.D. and Matt discuss patent searching and trademark searching fundamentals. J.D. goes through his 5-step process for how to conduct a rock solid patent search.
They took a Bold Bite out of a shark tank pitch for "RokBlok" which is a audio record player that plays the music by just going around the record instead of requiring the record to spin. The inventor alleges to have invented this technology and told the sharks that he had filed a patent on it, but he forgot to do a patent search! We pulled up a sample video/audio of a device that used to do that back in the 1970s.
Matt wrapped up the session by answering a trademark question related to trade dress and a custom glass case company.

Bold Patents Client Dr. P shares his Sleep Muus Product and Invention Journey
J.D. and Matt speak with Bold Patents client, Dr. Patrick Silva (he goes by Dr. P) the inventor of the Sleep Muus pillow. Patrick talks about his invention story, and how he couldn't find the right pillow to supplement his spinal medical care he gives as a chiropractor, and so he was forced to create it! Dr. P also shares with the audience his struggles in multiple Kickstarters, having to juggle several manufacturers and a failed run with his first version.
J.D .and Matt took a Bold Bite out of pillow-software inventor "Pluto", and provided a legal analysis and critique of a shark tank episode they were on. J.D. suggested that they should have got a patent on a physical product, as it would serve their enforcement better than getting a method/software patent (which is what they did).
