Wow, thanks so much for all the insights, everyone! This is exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping for. I’ve already started looking into some of the tools you mentioned, like IPfolio and PatentPal.
One follow-up question though—how do you decide between patenting something vs keeping it as a trade secret? I’ve got a process that’s pretty unique, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the cost of a patent.
Also, big shoutout to the person who mentioned WIPO—that site is a goldmine! I’ll def be spending some time there this weekend. Cheers, everyone! 😊
