    i've got 2 patents and i'm absolutely appalled by the patenting system. they will go through patents all over the world before they register yours, but when they do - your invention is only protected in your country! anyone can copy it as long as they do it outside your country. making an international patent is simply too expensive and yet, even though it's called "international", you have to apply for patent in every single country in which you plan to sell your stuff! and you have to pay for it every single year. small inventors like me are simply hostages of the system. you can't compete with corporations and they can either steal your thing and produce it in whatever country where your thing isn't protected, or use this fact as leverage to pay you less for your patent than you deserve. it's absolutely appalling.. that's why most of patents we see are design patents that only last for 5 years and they become irrelevant anyway, like a car exterior or a phone design - every one gets patented every time. but it's done mostly for protection against patent scammers which is yet another hole in this whole patenting system.. the rare real inventions are usually in pharmaceuticals today, things you can't easily copy (or even comprehend), but it's rare.

It is best to hire a patent lawyer (there's probably a name for it in english) - he will do the search if similar ideas have already been patented, prepare documents (with a bunch of engineering slang), submit it and guide the rest of the process. So it's more about the $ rather than time really. Also, you should remember that if you publish your idea anywhere it becomes public knowledge in 6 months and you can't patent it afterwards (assuming the people in patent bureau find it at public sources cuz they will also be searching for similar ideas, drawings or whatever)..

    I love your design, and re-engineering of vacuum cleaners - I have many of them !
    The primitive fan you talk about is simple, reliable has nicer, natural toned sounds - to sleep etc.
    The problem with the Dyson "bladeless fan" is the high pitch whine, of the high speed turbine !

    As someone who designs and builds things for fun. I have to agree with James, Design and Engineering are indeed something that should be the same. These days not everyone are so simple, they want something that works but they want it to look good too, so why only study one subject or the other?

    • @Yorick257
      @Yorick257 Před 2 lety

      It's complicated. Generally you would want to have all kinds of people. You need experts who know everything in their very narrow field. The depth of knowledge can be critical for some products. But there are specialities that are all about combination. I, for example, studied mechanical, electrical engineering, robotics, programming, and basics of business & design.

    • @TheVampB
      @TheVampB Před 2 lety

      I think it will continue to evolve that way and maybe we will get there. At the moment, the amount of knowledge and concerns involved in just designing the functional part of, say, a software system, are just so complex that a lot of the engineers don't want to take holistic view of designing the "interface" part.

    • @EricHamm
      @EricHamm Před 2 lety

      Bruh, you can't have cheap products if you combine design into everything that is engineered. Some things need to be cheap or most people wont have them. Good philosphy for rich buyers and expensive luxury items but who want to pay more money if they same thing they get fits better? Not poor people that's who. What poor person you know has a dyson anything?
