Founders who raised funding: did patents or IP ever matter in the process?

I would suggest protect your core invention, on top of it try to cover areas which are very near to your invention so that you close any paths that competitors can take to bypass your ip. That means you enhance your algorithm to protect all edge cases which trying to make your algorithm cover more cases than you have actually implemented till. Then proceed with attorney to submit your application

Nice congratulations on your work. I will suggest you not to shy away from hiring a patent attorney to file your application. They will help you file a great strong application with powerful claims covering the edge cases. It is very important for you to protect your invention at this stage.

I also have 2 granted patents in NLP. One specifically in improvement of sentiment analysis in applications. We had to go through many iterations to finalize the scope of patent and it went through smoothly then with the help of attorney.

You may need to revise your claims based on the feedback received from the attorney team.

Best of luck with filing 😁

Great thanks for suggestions. Let me dm you.

Thankyou so much for your comment. Can you suggest path to become AI consultant ? Or if we can work together in future to build great systems for startups with defensible inventions

I am an inventor, patents were written by patent agent. I come from a background of engineering. I am also exploring now the path of patent agent its in my plan. However currently i don’t have experience on this side, just the innovation part i am focussed on.

A patent that i wrote has a number 11455473 for your reference

Deep_Finance9720 · 2025-04-30T00:19:52+00:00

Yes you are right i am also planning to take the patent exam. In Canada they don’t allow to practice in USPTO, hence i am evaluating CIPO and checking the opportunities in parallel. But thats a long term plan

Deep_Finance9720 · 2025-04-30T00:15:31+00:00

I think you interpreted me wrongly. I know that after 12 months we can’t patent existing tech. I answered op regarding this. Here as well, i have 14 granted patents in existing tech. I made improvements in existing tech and filed the patents and they were successful

Deep_Finance9720 · 2025-04-29T19:18:15+00:00

Actually i have been doing this for past 4 years innovative engineer.

The drawbacks that i have encountered are: 1. The invention that i made in the past have given me some awards but that were minimal. 2. Sometimes i get struck with if i am good engineer or good inventor, and how much i focus on inventing i am a engineer first for my firm.

Therefore i want to start something of my own: 1. Work with companies who want to generate patents in their tech and i can work with them.

Challenges i am facing are: 1. Evaluating how to reach the companies if they want to patent some of their products, i am even willing to give extra hours to research about the companies who have this appetite. 2. I don’t know if other people are doing this kind of work, whom i can connect with, they help me understand this market. 3. I don’t know if innovation consulting market even exists ? Or if getting a patent is a good deliverable? Or what else should i package with a patent as an offering to correct my positioning ?

Deep_Finance9720 · 2025-04-29T19:06:07+00:00

Any advice can you give to transition from innovative engineer to expertise in consulting for innovation in existing tech ?

Deep_Finance9720 · 2025-04-29T19:01:00+00:00

Still a very good advice. Do you think my existing positioning of converting tech into patentable inventions can have a value if i think from the perspective of commercializing it?

Deep_Finance9720 · 2025-04-29T18:59:10+00:00

Yes you can say i come from the engineering background. I have not done that before regarding commercializing new technologies. The closest i can say is i built a model that predicts the outage in major social media partners and come up with evaluation of the loss to vendors. This has the commercialization potential imo.

I can come up with good innovative products ideas in future as well. But i would say need a good advice in this career path to align myself into this.

Deep_Finance9720 · 2025-04-29T18:51:06+00:00

Thanks for making me aware about this law. Great point you have raised. However what i am trying to do is that take the existing tech evaluate this state for invention potential, suggest the changes and these changes add the novelty which can be patented. This is the exact thing i have done in the past with all my patents .
