anyone know if the poor mans patent really works

[rum151man]

does anyone actually know if the poor mans patent actually works to protect your invention or idea???? mailing yourself the invention with all documentation and sketches dates ect.................

No, it typically does not.

Send me what you have, and I'll let you know

lol..... my provisional patent is about to expire and cant afford the full patent

 

[hive17]

You're further ahead going to a bank and paying to have a notary public witness and date-stamp your files/sketches/skematics.

You need something copyrighted? Its REAL easy and cheap to do. I think it was $35 for my book. Look up the US gov copyright site.

I've already posted a thread last year with my hat idea. Sent off to new era they said they were not interested at the time. I'm currently checking with a few other companies.

Here's one of my latest prototypes

I had mixed reviews when I asked opinions last year on here. But I think they are cool & I've made some for friends & probably have like another 50 people who want one. I just want to have them made the right way before I start selling them

It is pretty cool you are taking your ideas and running with them, but I am not seeing who this would appeal to other than 70+ year old tourists.

Good for you on your initiative...but, dude, seriously? That's one ugly hat...

It reminds me of the Urban Sombrero. It combines the spirit of old Mexico with a little big city panache. I would think J Peterman already has the patent.

Best of luck in pursuing this.

golfers, hunters, fisherman, people at out door events such as out at the lake, beach, state fairs, concerts, sporting events ect., just outdoors doing yard work or anywhere where its hot as hell outside....lol.

Match it with a puffy shirt and you'd be stylin'.......

Hats

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

This is why you should never come to this forum for advice

Best of luck to you Actually a pretty cool idea

 

[rum151man]

I came on here last year when I first got my patent and had mixed reviews and some good advice

 

[DRav87]

Those look ridiculous. Who would ever wear one of those?

 

[200lbhockeyplayer]

Team up with a sponsor and the Angels and/or Dodgers...I would think it's a fit out here.
