Safeguard Your Invention with a Patent Agent

Leave a Comment / Home and Family / By

New inventions and brilliant business ideas are vital to our economy. Any innovation, irrespective of its nature, technological, biological or economical, affects our lives in someway or the other.  If you have an idea or an idea of an invention, whether big or small, you are going to protect it. What should you do to protect your invention so that others do not copy it and turn it into a profit machine?

While one of the simplest answers to this is to keep it confidential, sometimes it does get leaked, unintentionally. More often than not, we ourselves in a moment of excitement about the new idea, broadcast it to the world. Yet paradoxically, to make any innovation work, it has ultimately got to be known to the world! So, to make your invention confidential, yet work, patenting it is the only option.

A patented invention is your property and no body can steal it. While seeking the help of a patent development company such as Invent Help, is an idea to get your innovation patented, another idea is to seek help of a patent agent. He or she is also known as a patent attorney or a patent lawyer.

This person acts as your legal representative, and his duty is to keep your innovative idea or invention in safe custody. It is considered that hiring the services of a patent agent is the best way to safeguard your patented product or services.

What is a Registered Patent Agent?

The PTO registers individuals as agents or attorneys who have passed the official “Examination for Registration to Practice in Patent Cases before the US Patent & Trademark Office”. An individual who passes the exam is called a patent agent. Such an individual who also provides proof of good standing in a state’s bar is called a patent attorney as stated in this InventHelp review.

Both individuals may file the same papers so that you may obtain a patent. The primary difference between an agent and an attorney is that an agent is not a lawyer and as such may not engage in activities that their local jurisdictions believe is “practicing law”.

Describe who will buy your invention. Do not assume anything about your target customer. Do your research, there are proffesional pattenting agencies like InventHelp to help you in this step. It doesn’t matter if your target customers are individual consumers or businesses. They will buy based on the benefits that they believe they will receive from your invention. Do not assume. The best bet is to go ask them.

Will they buy your invention to save time or to save or make money? Will your invention reduce their risks? Will it improve their image? These are all reasons that customers will buy, but you have to find out. Your customers’ motivation may be totally different than what you think. So ask them.

How do you ask? There is one very simple answer ? it depends. It depends on who your customer is and where they will buy your product. Will they buy your product via retail or wholesale? If retail, is it local, a big box like Wal-Mart or Target or some other type of national chain, such as Advance Auto Parts?

Will they buy it on the Internet or from sales reps? These are just a few of the distribution channels that are available? There are patenting agencies like Invent Help that will help you out. Finding out what your customer wants depends on the distribution channel that works best for both you and them.

Myths of The AIDS

Leave a Comment / Health / By

Although we have been aware of AIDS now for over 30 years, this modern day scourge is still vastly misunderstood. Due the fact that the first stars that we were told to be suffering from from it were homosexual, Rock Hudson, Freddie Mercury etc, it was quickly dubbed `the gay plague`. The rumor mill went into overdrive and suddenly you could catch it by touching, kissing and eating from the same crockery as a sufferer, all of which was a complete load of rubbish obviously!

The first step to developing AIDS is to be infected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV. This results in the diagnosis that you are HIV positive. AIDS is actually the latter stages of this virus, but you do not die from AIDS, you die from the fact that it completely destroys your immune system, so even a common cold can proved fatal. Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death for AIDS sufferers.

Only 20 years ago, being diagnosed as HIV positive was a death sentence, thankfully this is no longer the case. Thanks to the inception of drugs such as AZT, which are known as antiretrovirals, the life expectancy of a new diagnosed HIV suffer is now 49 years. These drugs don`t cure HIV, sadly there is no cure as yet, but they keep the immune system ticking over so that it fights off the outside infections that can cause fatality.

The only way to be infected by the HIV virus is by the bodily fluids of a sufferer to enter the system of another. The main sources of transmission are blood (including menstrual), semen, breast milk and vaginal fluids. You can NOT contract HIV through saliva, tears or sweat. These are very simple ways to ensure that you don`t contract the virus; drug users should never share needles, and you should never have unprotected sex, heterosexually or otherwise as described on https://www.mylabbox.com/.

So, if it so easy to avoid, why are there still so many being diagnosed with HIV every day? I wish I could answer that, but sadly I can’t. Alcohol is widely blamed, as in you get so hammered you have sex with a stranger without thinking about using a condom. Seriously, if you get so drunk that you are prepared to risk your life, you don`t need me to tell you that the first problem you need to address is your drinking! Drug users are clearly at risk due the extent of their addiction. If they are so desperate for a fix they don`t care how they get it, hence the sharing of dirty needles.

The infection has reached epidemic proportions in third world countries, where condoms are luxuries and ignorance prevails. Many babies are born HIV positive and are given drugs from birth to try and give them some quality of life, although their life expectancy is obviously greatly reduced. With such prolific fund raisers as Elizabeth Taylor, Oprah Winfrey and Sir Elton John, money is still flooding in to support research into finding a cure for AIDS. With the progress that has been made so far, hopefully that day isn’t too far away.

A Vegan Diet Plan

Leave a Comment / Health / By

Even though the vegan diet has become popular in the past few years, there are many misconceptions on what vegan’s eat and what they don’t. Hopefully this article can clear up many of those concerns.

The first misconception is that a vegan diet is very expensive. That is not true as vegans eat many of the things meat eaters do, of course they also exclude many of the things that meat eaters consume. Vegans do not eat mainly vegetables and the major food groups are consumed including grains, nuts, vegetables, fruits etc.

In terms of dairy, soy is substituted. However, there is still variety to this. Many types of vegan milk substitutes exist. Other then soy, there is cashew and almond milk which are all rich in vitamins.

The major difference between vegans and meat eaters is meat of course. Vegan’s do not believe in consuming anything that had a mother or father. But even though meat protein is out, beans and even nuts and vegetables provide a better source of protein. Soy is used to make many healthy meat substitutes and be prepared to taste exactly like meat and there is a plant based meat as well.

Unlike vegetarians, vegans do not consume dairy. Jell-O is also off limits as it contains residue of pork products. But there are vegan alternatives.

Among those who are very strict, honey is considered an animal’s product, but not every vegan subscribes to this. While most vegans will refuse to use sucrose (table sugar) because animal bone ash is sometimes used in its manufacturing as a chlorinating agent, they will use other sweeteners like maple syrup, fructose, dehydrated can juice (Florida Crystal, Sugar in the RAW etc).

The one drawback of veganism is that it fails to address the exercise part. There are many vegans who will use refined foods which are unhealthy or will even smoke and of course drink. So just because a person says they are vegan doesn’t mean they are healthy. But usually going a vegan diet is the first and major step in living a healthy life.

Common Challenges in French Translation

Leave a Comment / Business / By

As with the translation of other languages, French translation presents unique challenges. If English is your mother language, this is all the more true because of several discrepancies between English and French.

One common challenge in French into English translation is finding a dictionary or other language tool that provides the greatest selection of both French and English words. However, even if you do find one that has the widest and most updated list of words, not all translations are exact.

This is true in the translation of all languages. The reason for this is that each language is rooted in a culture that can never be identical with another. This is why it is said that if a language has no direct equivalent of a foreign word, it is not part of their culture.

Another challenge in French translation is the different forms that words take in this language. A fine example of this fact is the abundance of irregular verbs in the French language. This poses a bigger challenge with the rarity of dictionaries, the most common language learning tool, that record past tense forms of French verbs.

Most of them only have a record of base forms of both regular and irregular verbs of French. As a result, you might be dumbfounded when a certain word used in a French text is nowhere to be found in your dictionary.

French translation is all the more challenging when you advance to translating phrases and sentences. While most dictionaries have a list of French idioms and their meanings, grammatical rules in French are often the source of confusion.

These grammatical rules cover the use of contractions, nouns with gender, accents, relative pronouns, temporal prepositions and other more elements. There is a lot of free literature that provides guides to French grammar. Some of them even delve into other complexities of the French language and challenges in French translation.

Home Humidifier Benefits

Leave a Comment / Home and Family / By

The air we breath is far more important than we often think or realize. It can make the difference between health and sickness, feeling good and feeling down, amount of energy we have and many more critical factors. Often people do not realize that some of the problems or complications they have in life can come from the wrong type of environment.

A good example, take someone who suffers with Sinus, this can be an ongoing problem that causes a lot of pain and ends up with the frequent use of heavy pain killers like Codeine, which can result in other health problems . In fairness this could be caused and irritated by common allergies but I believe the humidity in the air can be a huge contributing factor.

Sleeping well is so important to feeling good, mental health, energy levels and more factors. Adjusting the humidity in the air can clear the airways and lead to a better quality of sleep.

Babies are affected even more by air quality and can often have all sorts of nasal problems and bad sleeping patterns from bad air quality that much too dry Installing a home humidifier can help improve air quality and therefore restore decent sleeping patterns. This will make a huge improvement to the mood of the whole household, not just the baby!

Let’s take a look at some benefits of home humidifiers

  • Better Air Quality
  • Improved Sleep
  • Higher Energy Levels
  • Less Nasal and Sinus Problems
  • Relief from Sore and Chapped Skin in Winter
  • Relief from Chapped Lips
  • Helps to Fight Colds and Allergies
  • Relief from Dry Throats and Coughing
  • Less Frequent Nose Bleeds in Kids

There are many more but this short list should be enough to think about a home humidifier

Humidity problems are at the worst during the Winter months from the extended use of heaters and Air Conditioning to keep us warm. The problem stems from the heating which dries out the air and leads to many of the problems in the list above. A simple humidifier adds moisture to the air counteracting the effects from the heating systems. After all, it is not natural to live in an environment with such dry air.

There are quite a few different types of home humidifiers to choose from with varying costs. An example of the most expensive for sale would be the whole house humidifier type systems, these are more of a permanent installation and are quite expensive. The top of the range ones are computer controlled and you can set the percentage of humidity in the air.

Most commonly are the smaller units, like bird humidifier, that simply plug in to the wall and are filled with tap water. Very simple to use and setup, also easy to move from room to room.

Making Money On Facebook

1 Comment / Home and Family / By

Social media is huge at the moment and offers savvy entrepreneurs the opportunity to make money with Facebook by promoting their product or opportunity with very little effort. However 98% of people who use Facebook for business purposes i.e. to generate revenue and interest, fail to make money on Facebook. Are you one of them? Let’s see how to make money from Facebook in 2020.

In this day and age with the advent of social media every business person now has access to a global audience, and the ability to connect with real people in order to entice them with whatever it is they are offering.

Unfortunately so many businesses and people go about it the wrong way and as a result achieve very little with their social media efforts, which is a big shame as there are dollars to be made very easily.

Why People Don’t Make Money with Facebook

The key to social media as a marketing medium is in the title “Social”. Facebook is a place where people go to hang out, swap stories and share experiences, not put themselves into a position to be sold to. People hate to be sold to, but they love to buy things. As a business / business owner your job when utilizing social media is to create a buying atmosphere.

Creating a buying atmosphere is as simple as offering real value to your potential prospects, this can come in the form of content that will help solve a problem or help them achieve something. Links to articles, videos and blog posts that will offer valuable information on whatever it is your prospects are looking for is an example of this.

This is a far cry from the majority who use Facebook as a medium for promotion. The majority of people offer no value to prospective clients and constantly spam their walls and inboxes with information about their latest product or opportunity, or constantly update their status in a way that is blatant self-promotion.

Reasons Why Gold IRA Investing Is More Important Than Ever

Leave a Comment / Business, Finance / By

Since precious metals are such a scarce commodity these days, it only makes sense that you would want to participate in gold IRA investing.

You obviously want to invest in items that have a high demand and are very scarce, and that’s exactly what you get when you put your money into things like gold, silver, platinum and palladium.

Plus it’s nice having the opportunity to put your money in something that historically will continue to rise during even the toughest of economic circumstances.

Gold IRA investing is really important because you need a way to hedge your bets against inflation and to protect your other investments from the harsh realities of a downturn in the economy.

While a lot of your other investments might unfortunately lose money or not really gain in value during tough economic times, you can always count on your gold and precious metal investments to steadily rise while the economy struggles to get back on its feet.

You don’t need to be a victim of poor investment planning if you decide to invest your money wisely and protect your assets by putting a nice chunk of your portfolio into gold right now.

The main thing that you can always count on about gold IRA investing is that when there are adverse conditions taking place throughout your country, and the world for that matter, you will always see the price of gold increase during these difficult times.

How rare is it to have an investment that thrives during adverse political, financial, environmental and economic conditions?

This doesn’t really happen very often, and the only time it happens is with precious metals. So this is a rare opportunity that you really must take advantage of while the need is so great.

Now that you understand how important it is to begin gold IRA investing, are you going to do something about it?

Ecommerce advertising

1 Comment / Business / By

There are various ways to do ecommerce advertising. If done properly, your advertising efforts can increase the potential success of your ecommerce venture. Let me share with you some of the basic ideas.

Pay Per Click Advertising

This method of ecommerce advertising is also termed as search engine marketing because in this process, search engines show your ad in their search results on a specific charge. This ecommerce advertising method has been very popular because they are not only a cost effective method but they also bring results. Your ad is shown by the search engine based on the specific keywords you have chosen. When any user searches through those keywords, your ad is displayed. However, the most exciting thing is that you pay for this ecommerce advertising only when a user clicks on your ad and visits your website.

Offer Contests

The ecommerce advertising strategy also requires you to get an email list of your targeted customers so that you can send them newsletters and special promotions. Nevertheless, getting such an email list can be a difficult task. However, you can make this difficult task easier by offering various types of contests to your visitors and customers. The contest must be designed keeping in mind your ecommerce advertising strategies – in a way that the visitors should think that they can be one of the winners. This has been a proven way to get an extensive email list for newsletters and special promotions.

Newsletters

Once you get the email list, do not hesitate sending your targeted customers special offers and updates through newsletters. This has been another very effective and result oriented ecommerce advertising method. However, you have to be very prudent while designing the newsletter. The newsletter must be designed in a way to encourage the reader to visit your website. Do not forget to add different links to your ecommerce store in the content of the newsletter in a very logical manner.

Link Exchange

Link exchange can be another wonderful ecommerce advertising strategy. In this method, you get the link of your ecommerce website displayed on other high traffic website in exchange to the link to that website on your website. This ecommerce advertising method is a win-win situation for both the website owners, as they exchange their web traffic with each other.

Overall, the golden rule is that it is not necessary to make your ecommerce advertising strategy a very complicated one. Some simple steps taken in a proper way can bring quality results for you.
