What is a patent? Good question. One way to look at a patent is to think of real estate, land that you own. A patent "stakes out" land that you can prevent others from trespassing. With a patent you have the right to prevent others from profiting from your idea, or your land. A metaphor I like is one of Fields and Fences offered by Stephen Adams of Chambliss Law in Chattanooga, TN. His article below lays out what a patent is and what a patent can and can't do. One key fact a...bout a patent, and fences, you alone can protect your land. Just because there's a fence doesn't mean others won't try to hop it. #patents #patentlaw #inventors #IHaveThisIdea #innovation See more

Everyday Problems. Everyday Solutions. Everyday Inventors. "...users are utilizing smartphones less and connecting on a more personal level." With 13 granted patents, Charles Isgar, Ph.D. of Scottsdale, AZ is hardly a first time inventor. He's invented charity donation and photo sharing systems, a knowledge card game and now, granted today US10937001 B1 (https://bit.ly/3uQ2Zi0), a smartphone lock box system that prohibits, tracks and reports smartphone usage. Be it while driv...ing, at work or at the dinner table, we can all get lost in our digital devices and just locking it away can help us all reconnect. There's a problem staring you in the face, what are you going to do, solve it or just swipe left? You have the answers, your ideas can make a difference. #EverydayInventor #IHaveThisIdea #Patent #Inventor #smartphone #addiction #students #driversafety
