One thing that really stood out to me in Chapter nine was the infographic on how to obtain a patent. Obtaining a patent is something that I have never really thought about before. But I see how crucial it is to knowing how to do in the entrepreneurial world. I also didn't realize how many steps were involved in it.
This part of the reading was still confusing to me however. I understand more of the steps to getting a patent, but I don't understand where you go? how you make an appointment? do you present your idea/invention to people? do you write a report and hope it gets approved? These are things that the book did not explicitly say, but would probably be things I learn through doing.
I would like to ask the author if he ever had difficulties with patents or copyrights. I would like to know if they are difficult to get approved, how long they last for different things, and how much they cost.
There really wasn't anything I disagreed with in this chapter. The only thing that took me off guard was the "Minimizing Legal Charges" section. The author wrote about how you can negotiate prices with your lawyer and to use a less expensive attorney for small transactions. I had never thought of this and it surprised me being in a textbook.
