Everyone is able to apply for a "PATENT"!!! As a matter of fact you are encouraged to pursue this opportunity. Do your research firstThere are several resources like the Qualcomm: The Inventor's Patent Academy (TIPA).Be aware that getting a patent on your own is not Economical and takes a lot of know how.If you are employed, your patents don't belong to you.Once you leave your employee, those patents stay with that employer.*Read the fine print in your employment contract regarding patents before you venture in getting a patent.This is just some of the things to consider and be aware of when it comes to "Patents".#successinnovation #leadership #empower #persistence #preparation #determination #patents #shpe #nsbe #swe #sase #aises
