I remember recently seeing this product on Amazon a few months ago, when I was looking to replace a silicone cap I had, that lost the no-splash cap. I had some of those caps for a few years, which worked very well, and couldn’t locate the original listing on Amazon. Now I know why 😂 The name alone on this product caught my attention right away, and appeared to be a very solid product that wasn’t a knock off. The only reason I passed on this product, is because it doesn’t work for dispensers that have the no-splash feature.

I was literally just thinking about doing this at work last night with my invention!

[@inventRight]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@bevc33]

WOW another eye-opening interview! Thanks Stephen. And huge congratulations, Brendan! It seems that the Design Patent alone was not enough for Amazon to take action on infringements, so getting an actual RESTRAINING ORDER was necessary?!

[@inventRight]

Thank you, Bev! Every situation is a little bit different. There are companies that will help you police copycat online.

[@curtisfarrington2892]

This is awesome information. Thank you, guys, and that is why I believe in getting your patent.

[@sectormentor6265]

I don't understand the product for some reason. Do these jugs not come with caps? What problem is the cap solving, please? Thank you

[@inventRight]

@sectormentor6265 great question. The cap he invented allows you to refill the jug instead of purchasing a new one.

[@SteveNelson-b7f]

How much did the prototype cost ypu? And the process??

[@inventRight]

@@SteveNelson-b7f the prototypes were made by the manufacturer.

[@toycarsrebuilder]

but its not working in Canada ? lot of plugs on market there

[@inventRight]

@@toycarsrebuilder you’re only protected in the countries you have filed in.

[@mkprr]

Would this restraining order tactic work with utility patents too or is a design patent ideal?

[@inventRight]

@mkprr this is a legal question. I’m sure if you can prove that they are infringing on your intellectual property with some of the tools such as trademarks, design patents, utility patents all of this can be extremely helpful. But with a design patent it’s very easy to see if someone is infringing on your design. Utility patents are a little bit more difficult to interpret. Just my opinion.

[@johnmatejcik2379]

The only people that come out ahead during patent disputes are the attorneys. Get the patent, but they are very easy to get around.

[@inventRight]

@@johnmatejcik2379 always good to have.

[@BigBoogie]

Thank you for the video. Why does a design patent have an advantage over utility patent in this type of situation?

[@inventRight]

Every situation is a little different. It’s important to be prepared for the copycats and that should include patents, trademarks, and even design patents!

[@inventRight]

Also, this is a great question. We will bring on some legal professionals to help answer it in the best way possible.

[@tomyocom5886]

So he didn't design it but was the first to sell it on amazon it sounds like ... So cool

[@inventRight]

@@tomyocom5886 sell first, sell fast!

[@mkprr]

How much did it cost to do this restraining order with est go and how long did it take from when you hired them to when amazon finally complied? Do you pay an ongoing fee with them or was it a one time and done fee? I am part of a shark tank group and tons of us have infringers of our patents and it would be great to share with them what works.

[@inventRight]

There has been so much interest in this topic, and it is so important, that we are planning an hour-long event with our sister organization Inventors Groups of America for February. We will get the answers to these questions. Hope you will join us!

[@mkprr]

@@inventRight that sounds great!

[@neatmachine]

When sharing your concepts to Chinese manufacturers, is there anyway to stop them from manufacturing “extras” and selling them to competitors?

[@inventRight]

We have a 5-part series on working with overseas manufacturers - including how to protect yourself - with Steven Selikoff that we published in the last few months. We recommend watching those videos if you have not already, and contacting Steven for further advice. Thank you for being a subscriber!

[@ElieAnquetil]

Quick question. Is it better to design patent or utility patent to protect it ?

[@inventRight]

@@ElieAnquetil it really all depends. Design patents can help tremendously on e-commerce sites. But utility patents are still extremely important.

[@ElieAnquetil]

@ was it because his invention wasn’t eligible for utility?

[@inventRight]

@@ElieAnquetil I’m not sure. Utility patents take longer to issue.

[@neatmachine]

If you market your product with only PPA protection during the one year period and others knock you off, even though you notify them with “patent pending” is there any way to get compensation after the patent issues? I thought you could sue for treble damages, but not sure how successful that approach is. Couldn’t the knock off artists also simply claim “ignorance?”Thoughts?

[@inventRight]

@@neatmachine that’s a very good question for a patent attorney. In my opinion, there’s nothing to do until your intellectual property gets issued. Then once you notify them if they don’t rectify the situation, it increases the amount you might receive if you litigate and win.

[@shrimpkins]

I was expecting the big reveal to be something like a Tesla coil or a hydrogen fuel cell...whaddaya know, it's a rubber plug for a water jug.
