Patents! They sound boring, but for the mad scientists out there, they’re pure gold.
Patents protect new, useful, and non-obvious inventions. It’s not for your song or screenplay. It’s for the gear.
For example, maybe you invented a new way to create fog for a haunted house or a unique lighting setup for a concert. If it’s new and not obvious, it might be patentable.
Patents are the ultimate badass way to lock down your technology. They might not ward off angry villagers with pitchforks, but they can ward off copycats who want to steal your big idea.
Intellectual property is one of the most terrifyingly useful tools you have. If you’re a creator or other entrepreneur ready to build a frighteningly powerful brand and business, you need to know how to use it. You don’t have to face the darkness alone, though.
I help entrepreneurs across the U.S. make smart, legally sound decisions about their intellectual property. I’m an attorney in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, but I serve intellectual property clients nationwide.
