Finally! We did it! the SMD Distortion Detector DD-1 gets a U.S. Patent!


Recommended Posts

I had a friend who used to do para-legal work for a patent attorney. He said it was some of the most boring crap he ever got paid for. After reading through that patent application, I can see why.

They are SUPER boring to read unless you have skin in the game. That being said when you are trying to protect your ass the fine details is also what saves your ass!!

I personally was just granted patents 5,6 and 7.....and no matter how many you get approved it is always an awesome feeling!! Congrats!!

Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

Yeah, I feel about the same for nearly every legal document. Unless you got something on the line regarding the document in question, it's all just technical jargon.

Not to get too far off topic, but I have 1 international patent (Australia), 3 utility patents and 3 design patents on dough forming, stamping and processing equipment I designed for work.

There is a very cool feeling of accomplishment when they are approved. I submitted mine in 2008 and finally just found out in late December 2015 that 2 of them were approved. Our US patent office is slow as hell!!! Lmao
