have you ever filed a patent for anything you invented?

Is it worth it?

weird when my natural route would be to FOSS, 
but at the same time, one has to be smart about this shit.

planting causal loops; harvesting reflexivity

so the problem si to tighten it up i need to make broader claims (so its not easy to n+1 my proposed system) to skip around it, but at the same time that makes my claim less unique, I guess i do need some counsel before even considering applying/drafting lol

ty for the feedback

i have a few times. 

yes imo if you tighten up ur defense ability 

gives options like licensing, etc

chat says i have a 58/100 defensability score 😂

Patents are dumb, generally, but they can also be used to fund tech that you don't feel like working on anymore.

Generally I publish everything under Apache 2 so it's unpatentable, but I've got a handful of patents to my name that I guess other people did stuff with maybe.

Maker / Traveler / sold fintech company now working on AI

yeah tbh feels like the way to go is sell a product and patent only after traction defensively if you can afford the capital waste

in reality if someone wants to copy you they'll find a way

I filed provisional and then didn’t have the $ to do the full patent at the time

Looking back I don’t think our tech was defensible. I wish I felt like I could have an unbiased source to say if you should/shouldn’t file. Many lawyers just want the billable hours imo so they’ll say yes

Hmmm I get you. I read in the thread that youre based in Spain (I think) so I doubt my thoughts on the SA patent industry would be helpful lol. 

But it sounds like you have something cool cooking, all the best 🫡

i think my process is obvious and would like to also publish research and open-core FOSS part of it

its just more about protecting myself from aws or googke or ms copying it and outcompeting / outmarketing me


food for thought i guess.

as you say another choice is to say nothing and just sell a better product and let them guess

but idk it will be obvious when using it why it works/ easy enough for someone to reverse engineer the architecture

Imo if it’s the process and the production specifications that you want to protect then patenting would be a good idea. 

But it’s a double edged sword because when u patent something it does get more eyes on ur idea/ process.

If you think that people won’t be able to figure out how to copy ur process then you can maybe deprioritise that a bit lol

$farcaster the public coin t.me/agentstoagents meta chat app.interface.social/ionspired.eth

hehe btw the app I designed then looks like twitter now, just before it dropped the blue color

probably nothing really has changed since then hah

damn tbh when i saw the screenshot i thought it was something recent/about farcaster

prescient there

10 years ago jeez. post barter on social networks sounds like time has come for it lol

Freezerverse founder. Multimedia designer. Do you like /icecream ?

Wow no sabía, I thought you were French cuz the $bleu

ohh gotcha, yeah trademarks are a whole separate deal tbh, and its at the national/international level kinda of a mess, you have the Madrid International thingy too but yea...

Saludos, compa, vivi en DF algunos años ;)

Only tried registering once FREEZERVERSE brand here in Mexico, never got an answer for the administrative office, I paid the paperwork hahaha

I would love to share my view but I dropped it because of $20k price

product/designer, farcaster maxi, exploring new frontiers in tech, ai, states, prev /basedstudio

yeah chatgpt says 25-30k just to get it over its lifespan

more if have to defend it etc

but also you need to have a bunch of cash to be able to defend it, on lawyers and courts

maybe if it has potential for a corp to buy it from you
