Workout Equipment Special - Patent Pending Marking and Pendency Discussion


Listen Later

J.D. went right in on a Bold Bite critique from Shark Tank featuring founder Sarah Apgar of FitFighter and her workout device that is made of recycled bullets and metal inside of a repurposed firehose. J.D. took the opportunity to highlight that she forgot to mention that she was "patent pending" in her awesome pitch. J.D. discussed the key implications of what "patent pending" means, and why sometimes you cannot find evidence of a publication for 18 months from the initial priority date. J.D. also discussed how the FitFighter product did not have "patent pending" labeling. J.D. went on to discuss how important labeling can be to put infringers on constructive notice.  J.D. answered 3 questions that came in over the week from AVVO.com and wrapped up the show with a free 20-minute screening session offer.
