Invention Promotion: Learn what to expect and do. (Even Ben Franklin had problems.) (Image from the Wiki/ Bureau of Engraving and Printing)  1: Visit the Patent Office website. See https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/ScamPrevent.pdf 2: Consult with a patent lawyer about invention protection, marketing, finance, business development, and how to not spend a lot of money before making money. Many patent lawyers (like me) previously worked in engineering and business.   3: Go low and slow: Avoid loss of your idea and costly mistakes, such as obsolete products, useless websites, and recalls.  (at Pleasanton, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0bo8KJuUT/?igshid=v6nm754najuq

“I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!” US Patent 7047648, Spoon with Extendable Straw, Gerald R. Prettyman, Patent Attorney. If you’ve got a bright idea, call 925-600-7342 or visit http://GotABrightIdea.com

[grplaw]

History records ice cream as invented by or for a royalty figure about 1400 years ago. The phrase has a recorded history only to 1927. Yet, the desire and cries for ice cream from children and adults alike highly suggest the phrase originated long before the recording. Fulfilling these screams with smooth ice cream can be difficult when mobility difficulties allow the ice cream to melt before being consumed. Fortunately, one such family invented a Spoon with Extendable Straw for which Gerald R. Prettyman co-secured US Patent 7047648. With this invention, a person can use the spoon to eat the ice cream, and when needed, extend the straw to draw in the melted ice cream.

People who handle and move pallets, even empty pallets, know that regardless of material and weight, their size makes them awkward to handle, and even handling them one at a time gets tiresome. Fortunately, Engineered Process Solutions designed not one, but two lightweight pallet movers, and contacted Gerald R. Prettyman, who secured a patent on each design. Design patents protect variations of functional inventions without the cost of a full utility patent.

So you are wondering, what is this form? The Patent Office thinks you are describing more than one invention, so you must ‘elect’ one invention, and ‘restrict’ your patent to that invention. Arguing the examiner is wrong will lose patent time and likely money. So what do you do now? Fortunately, a response is not difficult, BUT, you must answer all FOUR parts. And, don’t worry – you have not lost part of your invention.
