Inventions that you thought were your ideas? * 1
    #26412355 - 01/02/20 11:19 AM (4 years, 1 month ago)

I was just thinking about this earlier. And how much money I could possibly have if I went through with trying to do something with other ideas of mine.

Automatic spaghetti-twirling fork
bug-a-salt
MSH tooth regenerating gel for cavities

All these things have made a good amount of money. If you are pretty sure your ideas will sell and you have the means to patent and sell it, go for it.

Vending machines full of ganja that are set up like Redbox. Obviously I was gonna call it Greenbox

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

In the 1980's I worked an hour or so on a chord progression on guitar, went to bed thinking I had something. Next day I started playing it and thought, that music's almost exactly the verse of that Rod Stewart song 'I was only joking'. lol At least my chorus was different.
:shrug:
In 1975 the teacher asked us to draw the water cycle, as class clown I drew a paddlewheel jetski before it was really a thing. The teacher stood over me, studied the drawing and said ''that's a good idea'' and made me draw the evap/rain thing. She kept my drawing.

That’s not how inventing works. Unless you have the money to develop, test, manufacture and market an invention yourself, you won’t see much return from an invention. Sorry. Venture capital is where the money is in the invention game

When I watched the first Predator I asked my dad who would win... Alien or Predator?

Few years later... AVP COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU.

This one is particularly humorous in that it would cost tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to bring something like this to market.

I'm the main author of a product that's been patented that I invented and produce. I've received thousands of dollars in royalties. My company (the one I am employed at) owns the patent though.

I wanted to build a tooth brush with a strain gauge handle that beeps a low sound when too little pressure is applied and high when too much pressure is applied. But after some research it's already been done and then sued out of existence by Gig Toothbrush over patent infringement. That's not a joke, Oral B has a long history of very predatory patent litigation.


--------------------
Enjoy the process of your search without succumbing to the pressure of the result.

A Dorito is pizza, change my mind.

I’m sorry it had to be me.

Concepts are not patentable. Patents apply to designs or processes. You could design an automatic spaghetti fork and patent it, but someone else could just change something about the way it works, like adding a gear or switching mechanism and they aren’t violating your patent.

Koods said, ''That’s not how inventing works.''

I dated a girl who's dad worked for Moog. He had patent plaques around his house of his inventions that he designed, car part stuff we all use.
I asked if he got royalty $$$ for the work.
He laughed and said ''I got my paycheck that week but that's it''.

My father had over 100 patents. He had a device just approved last year by the FDA five years after his death, and 15 years after the process of getting approval started. He invented a product in the 1970s that his employer sold years later for hundreds of millions of dollars. Something so ubiquitous you probably use some form of it everyday. Our family is not set for life. It’s simply a fantasy that you can invent something and become rich. The invention is by far the easiest part.

You have the inventor and the venture capitalists (either investors or an employer). If the inventor is not the venture capitalist, then the inventor won’t be getting super rich. Probably the easiest route for a good invention is to sell your patent to a company who wishes to develop it.

Nice!!



There was a house in Illinois in the early 1980's called 'Pot-In-The-Box' that was a drive thru window 24 hour pot shop. A secluded, well lit rural home that urban legend said sold weed confiscated by police, who were well known for being corrupt. The police chief also owned the huge 24 hour stripclub and the 24 hour nightclub 5 minutes from Pot-In-The-Box.
They pulled you over after you partied at their bar and then took your stuff and sold it.
Genius really.

I had the concept of an iPhone pretty much nailed down after iPods came up.

I mean I'm sure other people had the same idea, but I legit thought out all the things you could do with a phone,mp3 player and camera combination and I even had some concept of the Apple play store.

I wish I wrote down my thoughts about it so I could go back and look at it today.
