Good Success

You might want to consider getting a “patent” for your invention!

What’s a patent? A patent is legal protection granted by the United States government “to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States” for a limited amount of time.

Not everything can be patented. You cannot patent an “idea”. Patent applications are examined for both technical and legal merit. There are 3 types of patents:

The process can have complicated forms and expensive fees. That is why some people apply for a provisional patent while they work out the financing to manufacture their products, etc. Or, seek out a patent lawyer to assist in the paperwork. You can find more information at the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, or by calling the Inventors Assistance Center at 1-800-PTO-9199 (1-800-786-9199).

A very important factor when you are researching competitors of your products and services is to determine what you have that is different.  If you have to, make a list of everything you have that they do not and vice versa.  Determine what it is about your company that works. 

Maybe your competitors left out a vital piece of information that they should be focusing on with their product that they are not.  This could be a perfect solution for you to get in and immediately step ahead of the competitors.

When you determine the positive aspect that is different that sets you completely apart from your  competitors, you can use this information in your advertising campaign. 

You never want to look the same as the rest of the companies in your industry.  Don’t be afraid to step outside of the box and go different.  This is how consumers will remember you.

. . . that God has a plan for your success?
And you can find out all about it through His Word. We’re here to help you discover it, encourage you launch out and provide you with Godly counsel along the way!

Jeremiah 29:11-13

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me.

Joshua 1:8

Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed.

1 Corinthians 2:9-12

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by his Spirit, and his Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God’s deep secrets. No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except that person alone, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And God has actually given us his Spirit (not the world’s spirit) so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
