Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Welcome, everyone.
Amanda the way you are that girl picture.
How is everyone doing today. Welcome.
Yes, someone's asking I'm here twice.
Because it's tech check.
Tech check up in the Annie, but this is not about me this is about you this is about everyone learning how to protect their ideas, your clients ideas or business ideas or witty inventions.
And so, congratulations you made it today for Peter would love, love love to have some feedback
on your breakthroughs.
Who has got a biggest takeaway that so far you're like, I'm going to put this into action now, or a SAP with your business and your ideas, raise a hand and let's, let's hear some good news.
All right, Karen go for it. Well I think, I think you guys already know this, because I think I've got like but every day I've been taking more action, you know, and just had a call with my assistant again.
About where do we really put TM so I'm going to send Peter and email about, you know, certain words that I am phrases that I want to put a federal trademark on where do we actually put that TM, you know, when we're what places on the website and what paragraphs
and what blogs and what things is it just titles is it in the late in the paragraph so anyway taking lots of action, making a list and checking it twice I feel like you know, okay, what do I need to do what do I need to do.
She went through all my handouts and is putting copyrights on everything and reframing things up so all of that is happening so I'm excited lots of action this week.
Awesome.
Awesome. Nobody wants to lose their ideas.
Anyone else we are asking for your biggest takeaway, or your first action item that you know you need, or already have started implementing, you know those writer downers, what's becoming your action items, your takeaways from the, from the class so far.
Coach Jen, Coach Flannery.
I know, is it my 100x I'm crushing you I don't know so I'm just like it's just coach I'm like,
awesome.
So, yeah, I also already went live and just showed that I started a can't find it all, here's my little checklist I just made my own little chart just starting up like my own little IP inventory of what are the things to think about and then what are my
things domain names tech, everything along this side and just starting to work my way across.
Yeah, because I've had a couple of downloads recently.
So their initial stages but it's get that on there and like alright so what would I need to think about as I begin to build these out. So that's what I did.
Wonderful.
Getting so much good information from Peter.
Not everybody has a chance to hear everybody else's live and there's power in the sharing. So who else would love to share, even this small can be huge writer down or take away a breakthrough that you've gotten so far that you know you're going to start implementing
or helping your business.
Put your virtual hand up or wave was that Judy.
So, just like Jennifer, I mean I have a collection of art I have some basics on my website I don't have all of it out there. And I'm definitely going to use the compilation for the majority of it some like one I had in a movie that will get its own copyright.
So, you know, deciding which ones, get the specifics.
Wonderful.
Wonderful. Patricia.
Unmute yourself and let us hear your beautiful share.
Good morning.
Okay.
This is maybe some of the rest of you can relate to this. I kept wondering why the delays why the delays. You know I've been trying to get my website up for weeks.
It wasn't happening, and now I know why things weren't protected.
They were not protected, you know I don't have a trademark on my website.
on my logo. I don't have copyrights on my things. You know, I think that sometimes when you're a
ministry, you're just so trusting. Yeah, you're just like, Oh, well, you know, you don't think
to do what I don't know if any of you saw my comment on my first live that my face wasn't
even on there, because evidently, I shared my screen and it was the page. But what God gave me
was protecting my content is protecting my calling.
There's some heat on that.
I know, I know. I mean, people Wow, that's powerful. And it is he's like, you know,
because we've been talking about this, like I said, for a while. And and he but he see,
he got me here. And he got each of us here. All of us are here to protect what he's given us to
protect our calling.
They're all
thanks for letting me share.
Wow, that's that is, yeah, you know, I just I just caught the tail end of that. And just wow,
that is that is so big. Yeah, I just I want to give you guys first of all, hello. Hi, everybody.
Good afternoon. It's such a blessing to be here with all you just love you guys love what you
represent. I want to share something with you because like I've, I've been an adjunct professor,
as you know, a litigator, all these other categories of what I focus on. I've seen some
of you are going to appreciate this. I've seen so much opposition with with trying to steward to
you. All right. And what I mean by that, I want to share this with you, because there's a specific
reason for this. What each of you holds is remarkably valuable. All right. Like I said,
on day one, before we started, I heard the word pioneers. And I don't think I truly understood the
the caliber of what that meant. And it's truly humbling to to be able to steward to all of you
and to try and bring you up to speed on some of these things. And today, you're going to learn
some things that are going to make you a lot happier, quite frankly, it's it's going to take
a load off your shoulders. But what you're holding is incredibly valuable. How do I know this?
The amount of opposition for me to just do things like upload a file has been remarkable.
Separate from that. Two weeks ago, we had the entire infrastructure set up for what you're
going to experience today. Two weeks ago, one hour ago, I get a phone call from one of the
agents that's working with me, saying that the connection is not working, something all of a
sudden happened. So what happens, I reach out to one of my prayer buddies out in New York,
another prayer buddy, we all start praying, and then all of a sudden, boom, everything comes
together like just miraculously, but for two weeks for everything to be flawless. And then
the moment before you go that thing happens, you you are each carrying something that's very
important, not only just because of who you are, but who you're taking care of. What you're
learning, you are going to be training others. See, some of you have shot me some emails. And
I love you guys. I mean, many of you know me. Some of you have sent me these emails. And it's like,
I don't know if I can retain like we've learned a lot of things here. And I'm not sure that I'm
getting this. And thank God I have the you know, the replays, so I can go back and I can watch them
and, you know, take notes. And here's the thing. As a coach, as a as a mentor, as a guide, as
somebody who is tending to many other individuals, your number one job is to be able to issue spot.
That's your first point of attack, you have to be able to hear somebody speak and be able to
identify there's something wrong there. I'm not really sure what that is. But something's off.
And I need to make them aware. That makes you exponentially more valuable to the people that
you're taking care of. Because had that issue not been spotted, they would continue down a course
that would be detrimental to themselves and perhaps to others. So what you're learning here,
and I'm going to prove it to you, because some of some of you may be thinking, I don't know that I
understand, you know, even half of this stuff yet. And that's okay. Like I said, you have the videos.
But I'm going to show you, I'm going to walk you through a scenario right now. And you're going to
be astounded at how much you already know, in just issue spotting, your number one job. Well, your
number two job, your number one job is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul,
and strength, and then love your neighbor as you would yourself. Right. So that's, that's really
your number one job. Okay. One and two together. But your number two job is the issue spot. That person that is in front of me
who I'm taking care of something that they just said, they're going to a trade show.
They're going to be offering it for sale. Hold it. Hold it. Did you follow provisional? You're
going to learn about that today. Or, you know, I've got this new website up and I've invested
all this money on a new logo. And my agency is going forward with my new brand. Did you do a
trademark search? How much money do you spend on your agency to get everything up and running?
What was that? $15,000 to get everything up? Did you just make sure you're not infringing
somebody else's trademark? You can actually mention those things now. You know, somebody's
got like a new program that they're putting together. You can say, did you put a copyright
notice on the bottom of your copy? What's a copyright notice? Oh, let me explain to you.
Here's the format of it. Just slap it on the bottom. I know you don't understand what you're
doing, but just slap it on the bottom. That's what you can tell the people that you're taking
care of. All right. So your number one job is the issue spot. Your number two job is to know
now that I have identified that there's an issue, where's the resource that can help me to take care
of the situation that I now know exists? That's your number two job. We're going to cover that
today. Okay. That's being taken care of for you. All right. So your job is you're in the,
you're in the trenches. Boom. There's an issue here. There's an enemy over there. Oh, I've
identified it. Now I call for reinforcements to help me out, or at least to identify what the
issue is. Okay. Knowledge is key. You have the knowledge to be able to issue spot. You're going
to get better. I promise you, because how do I know this? The people that went through this before
are calling me all the time and they're like, I solved this issue. My client now is handling that.
Peter, you wouldn't believe this. I mean, it's happening like every week it's, and it's so much
fun. It's just, they're glowing. And so you're going to get there, but I want to, I want to
walk you through a scenario right now. And today I'm going to reveal to you how we're going to
help you with step number two. Okay. But I first want to show you something so you can see that
I'm not, I'm not, um, I didn't make this up.
All right. Let me go to this right here and share my screen. And there you go.
Okay. Can everybody see the screen right there? Okay. Wonderful.
Um, matter of fact, I wonder if I can, no, this is fine. As long as you can see it. All right.
This is a really basic scenario, very basic scenario. We haven't even covered patents and
we're going to cover patents today. Right. And tomorrow we're going to touch base on trade
secrets, but what we're going to do is tomorrow we're going to bring it all together. You're
going to see how you actually can identify patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets.
You're going to be, you're going to just be spitting out these issues because that's, that's
what I'm, what I'm training you for, but let's just walk through this real slow. So you own a
small company called burger town, right? That's all I have revealed so far. You, you own a small
company called burger time, burger town, somebody type in the chat. What kind of intellectual
property is listed is associated with what I just shared with you right there. Just in that one
phrase, nothing else. What kind of intellectual property trademark boom. Look at that trademark,
trademark, trademark, trademark, trademark. Look at that. You're already nailed that line. Number
two, your number one selling burger is called the belt buster. Who makes this stuff up?
Trademark. That's right. Put it in the chat. Trademark, trademark, trademark, trademark. Look
at this. You're already spot checking. Number three, you have a web site, website advertising,
the company providing a menu and describing ingredients, preparation techniques, and health
information regarding each item on the menu. Look at that in the chat. Look at this. Like, I mean,
oh my gosh, you guys are amazing. Look at the chat. Copyright, copyright, copyright,
possible trademark, possible trade secret. Who wrote that? Hold on. Hold on. Who wrote that?
Get out. Okay. Judy. Judy. All right. We're giving Judy one of the $50 gift tickets right now.
I don't know where that came from, Judy. I don't know how you figured that out,
but you nailed it. That's exactly right. You've got literally possible patents. You got trade
secrets. You do. You have trademark issues. Absolutely. And by all means, copyright.
Yeah, we're going to be giving away three gifts today, but that's that's one of them.
So can you write that down for me, Larissa? Judy, that was amazing.
And so Judy is going to take over the rest of this course. All right. I'm going to go. I'm just
going to leave you guys. All right. So I'm going to skip number four because we're going to cover
number four later today. And so you're going to understand number four and then number five.
You also sell a new drink called HungerAid. All right. HungerAid that everyone loves and no one
knows how to replicate. Somebody type in the chat what errors intellectual property.
Trademark, trademark, trademark, trade secrets. That's right. Come on, people. Oh, my gosh. I'm
like glowing over here. Just love it. That's great. You're exactly right. OK, so do you notice
how each one of you could issue spot? This is the issue. This is the issue. This is the issue.
This is the issue. So now the question becomes, well, what do you do now? You've been able to
you've been able to identify, but you're going to have further questions. All right. We're going to
talk about that in in 16 minutes. I'm going to reveal to you how you're going to take care of
that. You're not going to have to worry about what do I do? What do I do with my people? I
don't understand how to take care of them. We're going to take care of all that. All right. First,
we're going to jump into patents a little bit. So let me share my screen with you real fast.
OK. All right. A patent is a grant by a government right now, I say a government
because it could be the United States. It could be a foreign country. It's a country,
essentially. All these different countries have their own patent law systems. All right.
So it's a grant by a government. In a specific country, giving an inventor the right to stop
others again, it's stop others, that's the most important part, stop others from making,
using, selling or importing that technology. OK. So when you get a patent,
it does not mean you can make, use, sell or import anything. Now, some people might be thinking,
what? Hold on. I thought I thought the whole reason why I filed for a patent in the first
place was so that I could make you sell or import. Nope. That's not that's not how this works.
A patent allows you to stop others. It doesn't allow you to make you sell or import. You get
to stop others. What does that mean? Let's say you're trying to protect a phone or a battery
or software and you get a patent on it. If somebody else makes that, you get to stop them.
Or they offer it for sale, you get to stop them. OK. You have the right to stop others from making,
using, selling or importing. All right. But you cannot make, use, sell or import. If you want to
make, use, sell or import your technology, this is how you do it. Everybody listen up.
It's called a clearance search. Somebody type in the chat clearance search.
C-L-E-A-R-A-N-C-E clearance clearance search. OK. This is extremely important.
I can't tell you how many times I've had people come to me who are just in shock that they got
sued for patent infringement and they have to stop making, using, selling or importing their
technology, their software, their machines, whatever the case is, their inventions. And they
say that doesn't make sense. I have a patent on it. Just because you have a patent doesn't mean
you can make it or use it or sell it or import it. What it means is you can stop others.
A clearance search is where a searching entity searches for other patents to determine whether
or not your invention can potentially infringe upon other people's patents. OK, that's what a
clearance search is. You need to do a clearance search before you bring your technology to the
public. If you have an invention, you have to do a clearance search. What you don't want to do
is bring your invention to the public, start manufacturing, start doing distribution.
I know because I've helped companies put together like manufacturing in China or the United States
or Indonesia or Malaysia or whatever the case is, they spend literally tons of money with molds
for new inventions. Right. So now they've created they spent one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for the mold. Now they can run that product over and over and over because the mold is done.
Right. So now they're starting to do production. Now they're getting into distribution and they
get a lawsuit filed against them. And they say that doesn't make sense. I have a patent, Peter.
And I and I say, you know, welcome to the law firm. Like, I'm glad.
we can help you. I'm sorry, we're meeting on these terms. However, you can't make you sell or import
that because that's covered by this patent. So how does that make any sense? I'm going to show
you how that makes sense. So we're going to do this one example, this one question. If you had
the option to own one of two patents, all right, and I want everybody to participate in this,
this is really important to understand this. You could own a patent on a stool,
okay, a stool which has a base and three legs, or you could have a patent on a chair
which has a base, four legs, and a back, okay? Stool is a base and three legs,
a chair is a base, four legs, and a back. Which patent would you want? That's my question. Type
in the chat either chair or stool. I want to see everybody type in the chat either chair or stool.
You just let me know. I just want to see where most of the people are going. Chair, stool,
chair, stool, chair, chair, chair, chair, chair, chair, chair, chair, chair, chair,
a lot of chairs, a lot of chairs, a few stools. There's a stool. Holly, Holly who was in the
challenge before, Holly, okay, all right, so let me, oh, Braylon, Braylon, that's brilliant.
Use half of one word and half of the other, thereby creating a stare. That's brilliant,
yes. So here's the situation. You would want to have the patent on the stool. Why do you want
the patent on the stool? When you have a patent on the stool, you have, you own, anytime anybody
makes anything that has a base and at least three legs, they infringe your patent.
So that means if somebody creates a chair, which has a base and four legs and a back,
it includes at least a base and three legs. Therefore, the second that the chair is made,
it infringes on the patent for the stool. Do you see that? It's almost like it's,
it's almost like it's backwards. You're thinking, well, hold it. Don't I want the patent on the
thing that I could sell for more money? Like, you know, wouldn't I want to have the patent on
the love seats and the patent on the, you know, the recliners and all this other stuff.
The fact that it matters, if you own the patent on the stool, you can stop people from making
the chairs. You can stop people from making the love seats. You can stop people from making the
recliners. You have that power. So that's why you want the patent that has the broadest coverage.
That's the term you want to remember the broadest coverage. Okay. All right.
10 more minutes. Then we're going to, we're going to shift to something else. All right.
Now, what can you cover by patent? This is really important. What is protectable by patent?
I'm going to give you some examples of what you can protect by patents,
because there's a lot of different things that you can protect by patent, but I think maybe
I'm going to break it down to a few different categories. So protectable patent subject matter.
Number one, apparatus. That's number one. Okay.
So if a, let's say like a cell phone, a computer, a microchip, any device,
a device is, is basically an apparatus that you can protect by patent. Okay.
What's also protectable by patent are what's called methods. All right. So if you have a
method of doing something, a lot of you coaches here are thinking, well, hold it.
There's a specific way that I do everything here. Is that protectable by patent?
Is that what you're telling me, Peter? Like, is that, is that even possible? Can I protect my
methods? Now, this is where it gets really tricky. And this is where you want to get
lawyers involved. Because when you're talking about a method of doing business, the courts
have stated that only certain methods can you obtain a patent to. It has to fall under what
they consider to be patentable subject matter. All right. And to really bore you, it's section
35 USC 101. You don't need to know that, but anyways, I threw it in there so you could see
the, the, the amount of information that we're forced to know. So would that be in the case as
when it comes to patentable subject matter, they want to know, can a human being perform this
action exclusively without a machine involved in any way, shape or form. If that is the case,
chances are very high. You cannot get a patent on it. All right. So if what you're saying is
my method of making money is you receive money in your hand, then you go to the bank and you
deposit it. And then you take that deposit slip and you give it to a third party who then gives
you a coupon for that, which you can then use for getting food or whatever. And you create a
your own unique way of making money,
and at the same time, helping restaurants make money
and keeping inventory of all the times you're eating out.
Like, let's say you created that process.
You say, I wanna own that process.
Chances are very low
that you're gonna be able to own that process
because, number one,
enforcement is gonna be very difficult.
But number two, people need to be able to,
they need to be able to look at your patent and say,
okay, that's not something that I've done already, right?
And it's kind of hard to monitor that
when you're talking about just ways of doing business
because there's no machine involved.
There's no documentation fully.
It's a little harder to grasp.
It's more mushy.
It's a very mushy area,
and courts don't like very mushy areas.
They like to be able to say, all right, that's a device.
Did you make the device?
Well, here's the device.
Looks like the device.
Let's look at the elements of the claim.
Let's break open the pen.
Yep, that looks like the pen.
You infringe.
See, that's easy.
That's easy to determine.
That's how courts wanna be able to do their analysis.
So if you have a specific scenario,
I'm gonna be raising something to you in six minutes
that'll actually help you as coaches to figure out,
this is the countdown,
to figure out is, in fact,
your teaching protocol protectable, okay?
So with that being the case, thanks, John.
There's another area that you can protect.
I doubt that many people here are doing it,
but if you can asexually reproduce a plant,
then you can get a patent, okay?
There is something for you to know.
So why is this important?
Think of Monsanto.
You guys know those companies,
the companies that are making, replicating corn?
Yep, I see you, Patricia.
I see you.
Yeah, all those companies
that are genetically modifying food,
look them up on the United States Patent and Trademark
Office.
Wait till you see how many patents they own.
Exactly, that's right, Despina.
They own, they have all these patents
protecting their modifications
or their creation of food items
so nobody else can create them the way that they do,
if you so choose to consume them.
That's between you and some other challenge that's not me.
So with that being the case,
if you can asexually reproduce a plant,
you can by all means file a patent application
and you'll be fine, all right?
Now, a patent lasts for 20 years from filing, okay?
20 years from filing.
It used to be 17 years from issuance.
They decided this isn't working.
The reason why, and I'm just gonna,
you don't need to know this.
I'm just gonna kind of give you a little background
as to why they made it 20 years.
It's because the way the system used to work
is when your patent issued at that date,
you had 17 years from that date
to actually have your patent expire.
Well, what people would do
is they would get a notice of allowance.
Then they would file another patent
on the same subject matter
and just change the claims
to stop their first patent from issuing.
And they would do it over and over and over and over.
Why do they do this?
Because they would look in the market
to see if anybody's doing what's in their patent.
And if the people in the market weren't doing it yet,
they would file what's called a submarine patent.
I did not make that up.
That's actually a real name, a submarine patent.
It's crazy.
Like, so they'd file this continuation application
or a continuation in part.
The original patent wouldn't issue.
So then the 17 years didn't start.
Now that patent is pending and it has to get examined.
So two years would go by and they check the market.
Nobody's doing it yet.
They file another submarine patent.
And then finally, when people in the market,
it is unethical.
Thank you, Cathy.
Yeah, it totally is.
And that's exactly what they did.
They would corner the market like this.
Big companies were doing this.
Apple was doing this.
Other really big name corporations
that we all know about, they were doing this.
And then when their patent came out, they'd sue everybody.
And they'd say, all of you have been doing
what just happened in my patent yesterday,
which I filed 12 years ago.
And the world was saying,
how did it take 12 years for your patent to issue?
And they'd go, oh, look, it's awfully sunny outside,
isn't it?
Wow, that's not really nice.
Oh, by the way, you owe me money.
Like, that's literally how they would handle this situation.
Finally, the government said enough of that.
We're done with it.
All right.
Let me teach you one more thing before we go forward.
Okay.
Patents are expensive, very expensive.
They are the most expensive form of intellectual property that exists.
Why? Because you now get to stop everyone from making, using, selling, or importing.
Everyone. Everyone within your country.
That's a very powerful asset. It's very strong.
To enforce a patent can cost you anywhere from a million bucks to ten million bucks.
It's not cheap. It's not inexpensive.
There are entities that buy patents just to enforce them.
For no other reason. Not because they want to.
And I know John is probably like, yep, I know that.
So there are entities that will literally buy up IP portfolios just to enforce them.
We have a name for those people.
Now, I'm going to be very impressed if anybody knows the name.
They're called non-practicing entities. Scum. Oh my gosh.
If anybody knows the name besides scum, that's number two.
If anybody knows the main name in the industry for a non-practicing entity,
meaning an entity that buys up patents, doesn't make anything, dirt bag, corporate pirates, patent ninjas.
Look at this. Crooks. Jerk.
Yeah, that's brilliant. That's, yep.
Yeah, okay. I think I'm going to bring this to a close.
They're called, okay, now we've gotten too far.
We've gotten too far. Let's come back to earth.
Coming back. They're called trolls.
They're called patent trolls. That is literally the technical name for them.
You can use that name in a court of law.
And I have. Literally in front of the Supreme Court Justice, Chief Justice Saylor, in the federal district court in Massachusetts.
I've used that term before. This patent troll, blah, blah, blah.
They know what it means. It's a non-practicing entity.
Because a patent, it's an asset. It's an intangible asset, but it is an asset.
Okay. So that means you can sell it and you can make a lot of money selling them.
This is why I told you from day one, what's incredibly important for you is to know if you've received an idea,
if you've received like an ordained idea from the Lord, and you're thinking, man, this is like, this is a big deal.
This is a God idea. This is really important. Ask him what you're supposed to do with it.
Because it may be that you're not supposed to manufacture, you're not supposed to make the mold, you're not supposed to sell.
It may be you're just supposed to file a patent and sell the patent for $100,000, a quarter of a million dollars, $2 million.
That might be the case. This is why being able to hear him very clearly is so important.
And speaking of hearing very clearly, I've heard all of you.
Was that like a nice segue? April, was that a good segue?
Do you like that? Was that good? I didn't even practice that. It was so fun. It was so much fun.
So I've heard all of you. A lot of you have sent me just so you know, I've probably received in the order of about 70 or so inquiries in different areas.
A lot of the reasons why over the last three days, now going into the fourth day,
we've covered many different areas is because I'm addressing your questions without you knowing it.
Remember before we started, I said, you're going to get the most out of this if you go live in the Facebook group early,
because I'm going to watch them. And as I'm watching, I'm going to take notes.
And then what I'm going to teach you is going to be directed exactly towards what you're asking.
And that's what I've been trying to do for you. And each day I've been getting other questions and scenarios.
I'm trying to sell this book. I'm coaching these individuals.
I have a meeting tomorrow with such and such, and I need to figure out this.
And as I've been seeing that, I then try to incorporate that into what I'm teaching every day.
So with that all being done, obviously, a number of you have been in the VIP.
You've gotten a taste of what I'm going to offer you right now. All right.
I created for all of you what I call the protection portal. OK.
Now, what is the protection for? I'm like smiling.
It was making me laugh and some others are making me laugh right now.
What the protection portal is. This is the this is literally the the the image you'll see on the protection portal.
What I do in the protection portal is it's similar to the VIP experience, but it's it's it's bigger.
It's deeper. You have more time. You have more opportunity to ask questions.
Let me stop the share here and go live with all of you.
For an hour and a half every single month, once a month, I go live with you.
I answer all of your questions.
Like I go through your questions as we've been doing here, answer your questions.
I raise any other issue that I think is related, any issues that are very important, like NFTs,
like the AI question, which I thought was brilliant that was asked in VIP.
Like if you're entering certain information into a software program and all of a sudden
something gets spit out, who owns that IP, all of those things there, I go into lots
of depth with all that.
But I take it day by day and I respond to you and I give you that interaction.
On top of that, you get access to my network, right?
My network includes all of my agents, like in every country of the world.
So if you're seeking certain rights in certain countries, you will be able to, I'll give
you specific individuals who are in those countries, who will be able to let you know
what the law is in those areas, and you'll be able to actually work with them, okay?
Why don't you drop the link right now, Larissa?
So what I am providing for you, you have two ways to do this, all right?
You can do one payment of $14.95 for the year, okay?
Or you can do three payments of $5.95, that'll cover the year.
Now what you're going to get is essentially the equivalent of having three lawyers covering
you.
Now I'm not giving you legal advice, just to be clear, again, it's going to be like
what we've been doing here.
I'm not going to go into your scenario and say, all right, Coach Karen, I know you're
doing that today.
This is what I want you to do.
I'm not doing that.
I'm telling you what the law says, and then it's up to you if you want to speak to a specific
lawyer or not, that's up to you, but I'm laying out the law for you.
I'm teaching you with regard to the scenarios.
It's also spaced out more, so we have more time to interact, to ask questions, to ask
lead-ups, all right?
There's some people that are in the portal already, okay?
Some of you know, actually a lot of you know some of the individuals that are in there.
Now, I'm going to show you the screen real quickly.
This is what the screen looks like.
There's more information with regard to the portal in here.
There's a video that kind of covers it in more detail.
I kind of lay out what you get.
You get the one-year membership to the Protection Portal.
By the way, that's my trademark, TM.
So separate from that, you get the monthly training that's included, all right?
You're going to have access to my associates around the world.
I'm going to continue reviewing your email situations.
Why is this important?
As you continue growing, as you continue trying to implement the things that we've been learning,
that I've been teaching you, you're going to have follow-up questions.
You already have follow-up questions.
How do I know this?
My inbox has your follow-up questions, which is great.
That's what I wanted.
Again, my number one objective was to make sure it's to prepare you to be able to identify issues.
We've proven today that you already know how to identify them.
And you have very creative ways of identifying non-practicing entities.
So we've proven these things.
You can come out with very aggressive names for practice for describing patent trolls.
So with this being said, this is what the offer is.
Now, I'm a little ticked off.
Let me take that back.
I'm a lot ticked off with the enemy.
What do I mean by that?
I knew the caliber of the people that I was going to be speaking to today, all right?
I knew.
I already had an idea because I heard that word pioneer, and I knew that each of you were taking care of a lot of others.
But the amount of stuff that's been going on with having to stay up to three in the morning with videos and then, like,
things shutting down and others, I'm more ticked off.
So I'm throwing something extra in.
This is the way I work.
When the enemy attacks in a specific area, I find a way to bless others in that exact same area.
So if my leg hurts, I go out and I pray for the sick.
Like, if something's happening at work, I go bless people financially.
So there was an attack with regard to actually setting this up, so I'm going on the offense in this one.
The first 20 people that sign up, only the first 20.
I can't make it more than that.
There's, like, 50 something people in this group already.
Just the first 20 people, otherwise I'll be overwhelmed, that sign up for the Protection Portal will receive a sit down with me alone one on one for 20 minutes.
All right?
All right.
That's actually higher than what I was actually going to offer, but I'm feeling like that's okay to do.
I'll figure out how to do it.
The first 20 people.
So all of your follow up.
questions that you've been asking.
Oh, well, you know, what about this?
What about that?
You'll be able to do that one-on-one, all right?
Literally one-on-one with me.
We'll be on the phone, okay?
Once that 20 minutes is over, we're stopping though, okay?
Cause that's a lot of time for 20 people, all right?
So you have the link, you can go in.
It's only the first 20, all right?
And then we'll be able to answer your specific questions.
Okay?
Obviously we have the VIP later today.
If you have, you know, other things there,
we can go into more detail there.
But what you're going to find in the protection portal is,
it's very much a family.
I'm going to be very honest when I'm telling you things.
Like if you're going down a route
where you're going to waste money, I'm going to tell you,
I'm just going to say,
don't spend the money on the carburetor.
Do this instead, you know?
Don't do that.
Do this instead.
Like, I'm going to guide you on that.
Yes, Larissa, go ahead.
Don asked a really good question.
Can they share this link with people
who are not in the challenge?
Wow.
You know, Larissa, you remember this.
The people that were in the first challenge
asked the same question.
So I'm going to say, to honor all of you,
I'm going to say no.
All right?
And let me explain why.
I have to explain why.
Each of you has been through a process
to get you to where you are now.
And over the rest of this day and tomorrow,
you are going through a process
to make sure you understand the basics.
So once you're in the portal,
you should know at least how to swim.
Like, you should at least be able to go in the kiddie pool.
Like, you shouldn't be terrified of the water.
You should look at it and go,
yep, I know I at least can walk in there and sit,
and I know I'm not going to drown.
Now you can start walking slowly into the deep end, right?
But if I let people in cold, I won't be honoring you.
I mean, I could make more money all day long.
I mean, honestly, I can open this up to everybody in 100X
and say, you can go into the portal today,
and I would do incredibly well.
But that would not be honoring you.
You have invested the time to understand this.
You're getting up to speed.
And the people in the portal
understand at least the basic lingo.
What would not be fair is in that hour and a half
that I'm alone with you,
I have to explain what a trademark is.
That would not be fair to you
who have paid to be in the portal.
And just so you know, the next,
I'm going to be offering this again in April,
and it won't be $14.95.
Pedro's made that very clear.
We're not staying this low.
We're moving up, all right?
So I'm doing this now because, again,
A, the caliber of the people that are here, your coaches,
you have other people that you're speaking into.
So I know you're going to be telling
other people about this.
I know that.
I get it.
I'm going to find ways to bless you,
but at the same time, I have to take care of you.
And the only way for me to take care of you properly
is to honor your time.
And I can't have an hour of an hour and a half
me explaining the basics
of what a copyright notice looks like.
That's not fair to you as someone who invested.
Yes, Larissa.
You pressed me on this.
There's an issue with the follow-up email.
What do you mean?
I'm not going to say it out loud.
But I think you're going to want to know what it is.
I'm going to drop you.
I've already told Stacey.
Are you saying after people subscribe?
Yes.
Okay.
There's two other things that are coming, all right?
Number one, there's a Kajabi backend that's coming
that's not set up yet, okay?
You guys are going to be the first.
Everybody who subscribes here is going to get,
be the first people that enter into the Kajabi backend.
All right, just so you know.
It's literally being built right now.
And so you're going to go immediately
into the Facebook group that already runs.
That's already set.
You should see after you subscribe,
you should be able to click a button
to go into the Facebook group, all right?
You should be able to get into there.
Now, separate from that, we're in the process
of creating an entire backend,
which is going to be like a whole other level
where you're going to be able to go
to see literally every single video that you've ever seen.
Everything's going to be there for you privately
based on your name, based on when you joined,
based on every event that you've ever seen.
I've invested a lot of money into building that as well.
So you may actually see some kind of exposure to that,
but that's not built up yet.
So that's a separate issue.
But Larissa, I'll check that out.
But as far as everybody who has subscribed already,
yeah, that's 1,495, that's correct.
Or three payments of 595.
So everybody who actually has subscribed already,
were you able to get the confirmation that you subscribed?
Okay, good.
Then you're all set.
Don't worry about the backend Kajabi stuff.
That's being built out right now.
And Larissa, I can address whatever you're talking about in some email thing.
I'm not sure what, what that issue is.
So we can take that offline.
What just go live.
We all know each other here.
Go ahead and go live.
Well, there's an affiliate email coming there.
Yeah, but that's that none of them are to know that stuff yet.
That's the first email I got.
You've got an affiliate email already address.
Well, that was a surprise for you tomorrow.
Apparently the agency decided to expose things to you.
So don't, don't worry about it.
You didn't hear that.
La la la la la la.
Emails just fine.
After that, this is literally like coach Karen.
This is literally the issue that I've been talking about throughout the entire
series, it's like, things are like flawless and all of a sudden shuts down,
open shuts down words, or it's just been incredible what's been going on.
And so, uh, yeah, I was going to surprise you all tomorrow.
Um, apparently surprise you already know.
So there's, there's an opportunity for all of you to be blessed as well.
Um, I don't think it's fair.
I just don't think it's fair that if you're going to be referring
people, I think you should be blessed.
That's just the way I am.
Quite frankly, I want to make sure that cause all of most of you, as I know,
like 90% of your coaches.
So if you're referring people, I want you to make money.
I don't think it's fair that I'm, you know, making it all by myself.
So lead dinos affiliated and all this other stuff, but you weren't supposed to
hear about any about that until tomorrow.
But apparently today is like, yeah, this is there.
That's there.
And with that, let me give away two prizes.
Now, if you have further questions, we're going to be together so we
can talk more about the portal.
But the big thing about the portal is that we're going to
have the one-on-one interaction.
We're going to be able to dig deeper.
We're going to be able to look at your live situations.
Um, and some of you may actually not know this.
There's a lot that you actually don't know.
Uh, and I, when I say a lot, you don't know.
I mean, a lot, you don't know.
As an example, when you file a trademark application, you get
what's called an office action.
You don't just get an allowance.
Sometimes you get an allowance.
An office action is a rejection by the United States
patent and trademark office.
You have to know how to respond to that.
We go through that stuff in the protection portal.
Okay.
Um, if you have people that you're partnering up with in your company
and they come out with a new idea, how do you know if the company
owns it or if they own it, there's certain things, certain elements
that you look at, like, was it made on the property?
Was it using this corporate time?
Did they use the equipment?
All these other factors.
We go into that in the protection portal.
There's a whole bunch of things that we go through piece
by piece at a slower rate.
And so you'll have more time to be able to do that there.
And with that, I think that's enough discussion of that for now.
Um, are you guys happy about that?
Like type in a chat if this is something that you want.
Yeah.
All right.
Good.
Okay.
Awesome.
All right.
With that being said, let's jump more into the patent area.
I want to cover two more areas for you, and then I want to
give away a bunch of prizes.
Um,
Peter, real quick.
Good question.
Donna, can they do a clearance search for patents on their own?
Yes.
That's one of the things that we are literally covering right now.
Yes.
So that's the first thing that we're actually going to cover.
I'm going to demonstrate to you how to do a patent search.
Okay.
So I'm going to share my screen.
Do it to do so.
Everybody, the link, just type in us, pto.gov, uh, Larissa, just to let them
all see where everything is and let me share my screen share boom.
There we go.
Okay.
So remember how I told you that you need to do a clearance search to make sure
that you don't potentially infringe the IP rights of somebody else,
the patent rights of another.
Let me show you something interesting here.
If you click on the button, this is a USPTO website.
You click under, if you look under patents and then you scroll right
over to search for patents, see that right there, click on search for patents.
Now you come to the screen that says search for patents under it.
There's multiple different ways to search.
Okay.
I'm going to show you what I consider to be the easiest way to search.
Okay.
At least to me, I think it's easier to search.
I would go down to this field that says searching full text
patents since 1976.
All right.
I wouldn't search the old ones unless you're trying to get nostalgic.
Like if you want to see the original patent for the telephone or like other
things like that, you can look them up.
But I would just search this one over here
because those are the ones
that you potentially could infringe.
If the patent's over 20 years,
you can't infringe it anyway because it's expired, right?
So who cares?
I don't really care about it.
So now I would just go under here, click quick search, okay?
Now, I just want to make very, very clear.
This is a top level, very, very, very basic search
Tonight, I am going to provide for you
a few different companies that do patent searches.
And I'm going to put it in the Facebook group.
I'm going to put multiple ones that I personally use.
I'm going to give you my resources, okay?
This is the kind of stuff that we do in the portal a lot
is when I have situations,
I will reveal to you what I'm running into
and I'll give you my point, my access point.
So what you have here is the option to enter
into this screen, two different fields, right?
You can select from all this stuff here.
The main issues really are like title.
You know, that's a big issue.
Let's say, you know, there's a certain individual
and you think they have a patent,
but you're not sure what that patent is.
You can actually go under Assignee.
You would click Assignee name.
That's the company name, okay?
You can click on that.
And then you would just type in the name,
whatever the name of the corporation is.
And you can do a search.
In my situation, I'm just going to look under title, okay?
Now, here's the tricky part.
And this is why having a professional searcher is better.
I mean, you can do a clearance search on your own
just to kind of do that knockout search,
kind of like what I taught you in the trademark area.
You can do a knockout,
but then when you find the trademarks
you're really interested in,
you hire somebody to make sure.
Same thing in the patent realm.
Like you can do a quick search to see,
well, you know, are bicycles,
are there any patents on bicycles?
Like, you know, you just click title
and you type in here and you type in bicycle.
That's it.
And you search.
And look at all the patents here.
11,531 have the word bicycle in the title, all right?
That's a lot of patents, okay?
So now you say to yourself, well, that's crazy.
I'm not looking at 11,000 patents.
So I want to use another word.
So bicycle and what?
Somebody type in the chat,
give me another word associated with a bicycle
that I can add that might be in a title.
Tire, race, basket.
Basket's good,
because there won't be a lot with baskets in it.
Let's do that.
Let's type in basket.
It's going to have bicycles for basket cases.
All right, let's see.
So let's do a search over here.
Let's go down to title, search.
Bicycle and basket.
See how many patents are out there.
Look at that.
Now there's only 23, okay?
So now there's all these patents here
that are associated with bicycles and baskets.
So then I just click on the number.
A D in front of it means it's a design patent, okay?
D means design patent.
A design patent only protects the look.
It does not protect the functionality.
All right, so if I clicked on images here,
you'll see the images for a design patent.
So these are images of a very interesting design patent.
So that's basically how their basket looks.
There it is.
There's their basket.
So if anybody made a basket that looked exactly like that,
they would infringe.
Now, if anybody created a basket
that had the same functionality, they would not infringe.
It's only protecting the look, okay?
Now I'm gonna go back over here.
Now, the patents that don't have a D in front of them,
they have a number.
When I click on that, that's called a utility patent.
U-T-I-L-I-T-Y.
That's protecting the functionality, okay?
So that's where, if you wanna instead,
instead of saying I own the exact look of this thing,
I instead want to own the functionality of holding something,
then that's gonna be what this patent is here, all right?
And so that's basically all you need to know for now.
There are utility patents which protect functionality
and there are design patents which protect the look.
Can you file both at once?
You can file them separate.
You can't file it in the same time.
You have to file a design and then a utility or a utility
and then a design.
And with that, I'm gonna stop here and give away some prizes
because I have a bunch of prizes
I wanna start giving away.
So let me do this.
Let me see if you can share my screen.
Obviously in VIP, we're gonna go in more detail,
but I just wanna make sure you understand
at least the basics of doing a clearance search.
Share my screen.
Okay, so we have a few things to give away here.
So with that being the case,
we've given away one $50 gift certificate.
So let's give away the second one.
So let's spin this thing.
I don't know, has anybody seen this tool before?
Have you guys used this before?
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
I like this.
I'll send it out so everybody can use it, okay?
I'll post it in the Facebook group
so you can use it for your own teams.
Amber Joy Daniel.
So is Amber here right now?
Because we ran into this nasty battle yesterday.
Amber's here.
Congratulations, Amber.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
You're so welcome.
All right, so now John has been incredibly kind.
Everybody here knows John who's in this group.
He actually offered to give away
24 baker's dozens of cookies.
Right, John?
Wasn't that it?
No, it was two.
Two baker's dozens.
John is like, what, what?
No, I didn't.
What are you talking about?
So John has been incredibly kind.
So he's giving away two baker's dozens of cookies.
So I'm going to push this thing here.
If there was a way for John to do it,
I'd let him do it, but he can't.
So I'm going to push the button.
We're going to give away the first one and the second one.
And then we're going to give away one more prize.
And then tomorrow we'll give away the other prizes.
Yeah, Peter, we're going to have to limit it
to just folks in the US,
because shipping abroad is pretty expensive.
So is Miguel here?
Miguel won again?
I'm telling you, this is fixed.
I'm telling you it's fixed.
He did something to the software.
So, you know, we're going to skip Miguel.
No, I'm just, I can't skip him.
It's random.
So is he here though?
Is he here right now?
Because if he's not here, then he can't receive it.
He can still win.
I'll still own it.
You're OK with it?
Yeah, that's good.
OK.
He's not present by the list of people in the participants.
Yeah, yeah, I can't.
I can't.
We're going to have to do it again.
We have to do it again.
So because it specifically says you have to be here,
it's not really fair.
And I see a lot of heads nodding, like, that's right.
I want the cookies.
Yeah.
All right.
Elizabeth Donahue, is she here?
She was earlier.
Yes, there she is.
Elizabeth, congratulations.
So John's going to reach out to you directly.
And he'll get all your information and everything.
And you can, you'll receive the cookies.
And now we'll do the second.
Larissa, you got the info for that, right?
Just in case, just to make sure.
Just in case John misses it or something.
Let's see.
This is for the second baker's dozen.
Elizabeth, is Elizabeth here?
That's Libby, but she's in Australia.
Oh, so she's not, she's not here right now.
OK.
Did she win something else?
Well, we can't because it says that the person
has to be here right now.
Well, she's online.
Is she online right now here?
Yeah.
Well, then she wins then.
She wins.
But she can't eat cookies.
Yeah.
For her.
She can't ship them.
How are you, Libby?
Lying flat on my back today.
I know.
We're going to pray for you.
Thank you.
We're going to pray for you back.
Yeah.
So Elizabeth, what we'll do is I have certain recipes
that I've sent to people abroad.
So I'll DM me, and then I'll give you your options.
And then I will share those copyrighted things with you.
Thanks, John.
It's Libby.
I don't know how Elizabeth got in there, but anyway.
Yeah.
Apparently, that's how it was registered.
I don't know why.
Well, it's because you asked for the full name, you see.
Yeah.
All right.
So, John, does that mean we have one more set of cookies
to give away?
It's wonderful.
Yeah, we can give one more away.
Why not?
It's Thursday.
All right.
So let's do that.
And that is Jen.
Is Jen here?
Jen?
I don't see Jen.
Filer, filer, filer, filer.
I don't see Jen.
We have Jennifer W. You know, because they're Jennifer W.
Is that you?
Be honest.
No, this is Jeanette.
Fantastic. But my name is right next. Yeah, no, she's not. Let's
do it again. Because she's not here. So we're gonna have to do
that again. All right, listen to the recording. I know this
would be the last one. Then I'll share one more thing. And then
we will jump. Jennifer Wilcox. Jennifer is here. I see
Jennifer. I'm here. Awesome. All right, cool. So you've got
the second one. Alright, so the rest of the gifts I'll give
away tomorrow. We've got all those written down. We're all
set. Okay, great. I can stop sharing here. Okay. So now I'm
going to share one more thing with all of you in the area of
patents. And then tomorrow, we're going to bring all this
together. The trademarks, the copyrights, the patents, the
trade secrets, we're also going to cover trade secrets a little
bit. All right. All right. In the patent world, if you obtain
a patent, this is really important. Okay, please, please
understand this. If you do not mark your products, or you do
not mark your services, you cannot get damages. All right.
It's just gonna make it very difficult for you to win
anything. I don't I don't care if you have the most powerful
patent in the world. If you're not, let's say your patent is
for a cell phone, or your patents for a gadget, like or a
mug, or whatever the case is, like there's a really cool
device here that I love this thing here. I love this because
this thing, I just close here, shut here, close here, boom, it
goes in my pocket, holds my cell phone. I mean, I'm a gadget
guy, right? My wife knows she she she loves Christmas time,
but she hates it because she knows anything I want, I'm like
probably going to have before Christmas comes, because I love
gadgets. She just knows Christmas time comes and she's
like, what am I supposed to buy you? You have everything
already. I was like, well, God's good. But uh, you know, come up
with something creative. So anyways, this gadget here, see
how it pops up, and then it tilts. So by all means, a patent
could be on this. Is there a patent number? I think there's
actually a patent on this. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. So they
actually filed a patent. Oh, they're smart. All right. So if
you do not mark this with the patent number, then the public
is not placed on notice regarding your patent.
Incredibly important. All right. That means you can't get
damages. There's only two ways to get damages in the patent
world, actual notice, and constructive notice. Those are
two ways, actual notice, and constructive notice. The only
two ways to get damages in the patent world, no other way.
Actual notice means that I send you a letter and it says you
infringed my patent. That's actual notice. You're actually
been notified that you're infringing my patent.
Constructive notice means that I'm marking the product. I'm
putting the patent number on the product. All right, which in
this case, it's over here, you can almost see it's really kind
of tiny, but they labeled it on there so they know. All right,
the public knows. That means that they've placed everybody
on constructive notice. So if anybody makes you sales or
imports this thing, they can go after them for damages. From the
date, this is really important, from the date that they started
marking. So if somebody is infringing upon your patented
technology for five years, but you only started marking last
year, somebody type in the chat, how many years of
damages you're going to be able to go after? One year, that's
right. That's exactly right. This is why it's so important as
you grow, as you have companies, as you have people who are in
charge of marketing. A lot of you are coaching people in
marketing. You need to tell them this. You need to say, look, you
have a corporation, you have a company. Are you marking
properly? Are you using the patent number on your products?
Are you putting a label on the product or on the package that
shows that this is patented? If they're not doing that, they're
not going to be able to get damages. If they're coming to
you for coaching with regard to like making their schedule more
lean, or making their life more manageable, especially for
individuals here that are coaching, you know, like
millionaires and individuals that just can't seem to find
time, even though they have money, they're really poor.
That's a big issue. You can have a lot of money, but not have a
fulfilling life. If you're coaching those people to try to
make their lives more reasonable, I guarantee you this
is one of the issues that their companies are dealing with.
If you're on a call and they're saying, I'm really upset, like
you know, we invest all this money in obtaining these IP rights. And I don't understand why we're
doing that. I'm doing this day and night out of your mouth. Just say, are you guys marking?
They're going to go, well, how do you know about marking? What do you mean? Like,
are you putting the patent number on your products or on your packaging?
Well, no. Well, wake up and do that. Like, you need to do that. Otherwise you're getting no
damages. Like why in the world did you spend $15,000 on a patent that you now can't enforce
or even better that you can enforce, but you're going to get no money.
Doesn't make any sense. That's called patent marking. All right.
I'm going to stop there. There's obviously a lot more in the patent arena.
If you want to know more, all that, we're going to cover a little more in VIP,
but the portal is really where we're going to be able to dig in a lot deeper and stuff and
take a lot of time with this. Larissa, your hands up. What's up?
Yeah. A couple of quick clarifying questions. Does that include patent pending marking?
Patent pending is a great question. I'll answer that now. Okay. I actually was going to cover
this tomorrow, but I'll cover it now anyways, for those who are interested. Patent pending
basically just means you have something filed with the patent office. All right. It could be
a utility patent or a provisional patent. We're covering that first thing tomorrow
because you don't always have to spend a tremendous amount of money on the patent.
The government found a way to allow you to spend less money in the original filing,
and that's called a provisional patent. Don't freak out. We're covering this tomorrow. It's
very basic, very basic stuff. Okay. The second that you file either a provisional patent application
or a utility patent application, you get to say patent pending immediately. There's a strategy
that I use with all my clients that scares the competition out of the water right from the start.
I always tell them when you're starting out for a company, file two patents. I always tell them to
file two, either file two provisionals or two utilities. Somebody tell me. Somebody unmute
themselves and tell me why. Why would I tell my clients file two, if possible?
That's okay. I'll just tell you. I have a question. Because you're covering more ground
and you have a larger arm span, kind of? Yep. Now, what is the public going to see?
If I file two patents, what do I get to say, which I could not say if I filed one patent?
Yeah. Instead of saying patent pending, I get to say patents pending.
Yeah. Now, why is that important? Because they don't know if it's two patents, three patents,
five patents, 20 patents, 100 patents. They have no idea.
That's why. It's a very effective, powerful marketing tool to file more than one patent.
Because then for at least a year, at least dependency of that provisional patent application,
which is a year, and a utility goes further. We're talking about that first thing tomorrow.
For at least that time period, you get to say patents pending, and they have no idea how many
that means. Scares the living daylights out of the competition. That makes them back off.
You didn't do anything. All you did was use an effective marketing tool.
Give me another question. Go ahead. Your hand's still up, so I thought you had another one.
Well, yeah. If this is tomorrow, Holly asks, how do you mark a service?
We'll talk about that tomorrow. Yeah. Awesome.
We'll talk about that tomorrow. We'll talk a little bit about that in VIP.
All right. We're all set? Any of you have any questions with regard to the portal or anything
like that, you can email me, obviously, directly at nieves at elite-challenges.com.
Okay. Tomorrow, obviously, we'll do a little overview of it again real quick, make sure
everybody understands everything. I want to see that thing that actually gave the preview to the
affiliate program, which is that never should have gone out that early. It was supposed to happen
after I talked about it, but that's okay. Coach Karen, did you have a question or something?
Okay. All right. I'll see you in VIP anyway. I'll talk to you then.
All right. Bless all of you. You're all awesome. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Take care. Bye.
