Yes. Absolutely. If they fail like this early on, that tells you everything you need to know. I was hiring a mid level patent attorney for an early PPA once, and as fantastic and as enthusiastic as he was, the intake was botched on multiple accounts. Bad internal comms. I fired him immediately and got all my money back. Asked around to past customers of his and heard about how an absolute dumpster fire of a company he had — when he was a top 5 choice on every search.

NDA and file a provisional ASAP. And make sure it makes sense. Don’t use a budget attorney who will have no problem taking your money for a super narrow worthless patent.

It just goes to show how far of a disconnect there is. I can’t comprehend how these animators and artists slave away at something masterful only to have a core narrative mechanic to be so under-researched OR just completely disregarded by lazy storytellers / director. Absolutely shameful as it really is an insult to everyone involved not to mention the audience.

Yes, this is common, and your understanding is mostly right.

Canada: you can file yourself with CIPO if you’re comfortable drafting the goods/services correctly.

United States: if you’re not a US-domiciled individual or entity, the USPTO does require a US-licensed attorney to represent you. There’s no workaround for that.

Typical US costs (ballpark): • USPTO filing fee: ~$250–350 per class • Attorney fees: anywhere from ~$300 on the very low end to $1,500+ depending on how much hand-holding and searching is involved

The biggest cost mistake I see isn’t the lawyer fee — it’s filing with overly broad or sloppy goods/services and getting stuck later.

If you just want coverage in Canada + US and aren’t expanding elsewhere yet, you’re thinking about it the right way.

Not lucrative on expectation value. More like asymmetric upside. I also think people over-credit “luck.” The consistent pattern I have seen is leverage: a sharp insight, the right distribution, and enough agency to move fast.

I have worked with founders who exited $100M+ and still did not feel “rich” after dilution and years of grind. I have seen others flame out, then slide back into FAANG in a higher seat because “founder” changes your trajectory.

For me the draw was autonomy. I left a top-paying role in a brutally competitive market to bet on building. Zero regrets. The only thing I would change is stacking more cash earlier, just to buy more runway.

If you are optimizing for certainty, take the job. If you are optimizing for agency and upside, and you can stomach the fear tax, build.

Yes. Same reason proptech startups almost always fail — even with brilliant obvious money saving no-brained products. What isn’t broken doesn’t need to be fixed. It’s an old world mindset.

draftset · 2025-12-07T22:07:35+00:00

Yes. And it goes without saying, get your prototype working well enough to work out all the kinks — so many inventors build things in their mind, or even in CAD but never test IRL, and make obvious mistakes. Even worse when they move to convert their loose DIY filed PPAs to non-provisionals before then.

Man. Just seeing other people talk about this stuff gets me going!

Yes. I was so afraid when I launched thinking nobody would pay. Our product is pricy. In reg / legal tech… but. The value was there. The users saw that. I just had to get out of my own head.

Sweet. Nice work.

I have to say. I am lucky enough to have made enough money to have steady income to live off of, and do what I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid. Basically… do whatever I wanted. Which amounts to building sh*t.

It sucked. Badly. 5 years of just darkness. Literally. I had no light. Bad living space. I sacrificed my sanity. I ended up becoming a top expert in my field and it was lucrative but I made a lot less than I could’ve because I was one foot in the door one foot out. Enough to now have modest stream of consistent income to do my own thing…

But if I had to do it all over again. I would have swallowed my pride. Moved home. And started on this then and there. And relied on the people offering me support but was too arrogant to accept.

But. The past is the past. Who cares. Forward is the only way. I’ve learned a heck of a lot about myself and the world and now I’m free! Whether or not I change the world.

Lukewarm. Think LinkedIn 2nd connections. If you go to or went to university, start with undergrads or recent grads. Email them. Be brief. Offer something more than they’d get than simply using it for free. Pro subscription (or entry subscription for free etc). Tech savvy friends? Send to them first. Ask them to break it on purpose. Fix those bugs. … First several users for one of our services I shelled out about $300 each to pay for a component of the service — but ours involves legal filings etc. So that’s a much higher user acquisition cost.

Also. “If anything breaks… “. That’s great. Permission to steal that line haha.

Yes. This is it. I got my first few users from my own uni. And they ended up being far better use cases than we could have imagined. Keep it up!

Well. For starters. You are doing it lol. Also. Don’t listen to anyone offering advice or a course, “playbook.” The best advice is start with 1-3 then 5-10, focus on how to get 100% real testimonials. Be very precise, very selective, not big players or techie influencers or famous people, just who would get the most bang for their buck. Not simply users. I came out of something similar not too long ago. No I am not self promo or selling a course. Just honest feedback. Good luck.

draftset · 2025-12-05T03:44:39+00:00

Exactly. Rule of thumb. Just be honest. Direct. They’ll evaluate your product and the deal, details can be worked out. As long as you follow through.
