So you had this great idea and wrote a little about it. Then in
some follow-up edits and annotations you filled out the dots.
And then you decide to actually make it.
But you cannot file a patent because you publicized the idea
and anyone can claim that they didn't take it from your
patent
but rather learned about it from the HB website.
In comes the Halfbakery patenting half-baked idea (I can only
tell you part of it, because this hasn't been properly thought
out).
You add a link from the halfbaked idea to Halfbaked
patenting.
Your willing, compliant and helpful friends on HB immediately
debate a strategy of misunderstanding, and explain the idea
off
in a totally wrong way, saying that it is the obvious way to
read
your idea.
Thus when filing the patent you can always claim
that your patent is valid, and uniquely distinct from the one
described on HB, which was meant to be and was even
ACTUALLY
UNDERSTOOD by the halfbakers themselves as something
completely different from this patent.
Or maybe you can come up with some other way to
accomplish
this? (Besides deleting the idea)

Apart from the accidental typo I can see nothing wrong with this idea as it clearly states that members of the halfbakery should procreate with one another in order to spawn a master race of crazy inventors. |
|
| |
My parenting skills are already quite undercooked. They
should give lessons before just sending babies out willy-nilly. |
|
| |
There is a bit of a concern with the internet archive getting
in the way. |

//In comes the Halfbakery patenting half-baked idea (I can

|
| |
And this is different from all the other existing hb ideas
archived, how??? |
|
| |
First off;
//members of the halfbakery should procreate with one another in order to spawn a master race of crazy inventors.// |
|
| |
Secondly;
Doesn't work.
Disclosed is disclosed.
Found out the hard way. |

In hindsight I should probably write a book about all of the various ways there are to have ones intellectual property not remain one's own. I can see it now... |
|
| |
Chapter one: Invention Help Programs.
Chapter two: Patent Search Company Scams.
Chapter three: How Little Your Constitution Really Protects Your Rights As An Inventor.
Chapter Four: University Mishaps. |

Well crap... this stuff just basically writes itself. |

Go for it, [2 fries]. But bear in mind this experience: I had a book
published once, but the publisher insisted I sign away my "moral
rights" over the work. I didn't mind, since I wasn't trying to get
famous, nor to make a living from writing (and they do pay me
my small royalty), but I thought that little sting in the tail might
give you a wry smile - maybe it could give your book a neatly
provocative, self-referential ending. |
|
| |
Oh I'm not writing a book. Not enough time.
No, I'm going to begin the class action law suit against the governments of North America to regain our constitutional first-to-invent rights. Somebody else will write the book. |
|
| |
I just thought a few early chapter headings might help whomsoever that person ends up being. See? |
|
| |
Misread the title as "Halfbaked Parenting" .... |
|
| |
What might that be like... ? How would the children turn out - if, that is, they survived...? |
|
| |
The idea is not made public, only members who signed a
NDA can see it. |
|
| |
What is wrong with that? What makes that Non Disclosure
Agreement void? |
|
| |
Why would it be different from pre-patent work on an
idea
with a professional company under an NDA which is
common practice? |
|
| |
[edit: ok, I see nobody is in the mood for actually
patenting anything these days] |
|
| |
[2 fries] did you lose your ip although they signed an NDA?
Didn't they have to prove they got the idea from
somewhere else? |
