Nothing rhymes with Patent but the Freedom to Operate

Episode 3 of KB's Vlog. I've done a lot of patents in my career. I have worked around an beaten a lot of patents in my career. Now that I have my own company I had to scrutinize my own patent project plan everytime I looked at my bank account. So I decided to share the basics with you, before you feel the sticker shock about patents, and patent pending, and protecting your idea.

A little bit about me :

I am a fur-mom​ to 2 fur-babies​. ​​​ Both hear things miles away​, and bark at a leaf falling​. ​The oldest, Emma, is the inspiration for all things Pawnix. Two years ago ​Emma pulled a Houdini, and ran away during the 4th of July fireworks display​. That is probably the scariest couple of hours of my life​. The thought of ​Emma in a shelter, or never finding her again ​is the worst. ​Luckily she was and in the neighborhood, but others are not ​as​ lucky. ​I do not want this to happen to you and your dog.

As a graduate from Michigan State University in Packaging Engineering, I always liked to be a jack of all trades, and I strive to never stop learning. When setting out to develop a noise cancelation device for dogs, I had to relearn and master physics, electronics, mechnical engineering, and sewing skills. When I exacerbated the different search engine algorithms and viewed everything I could via "Instructables," I set out to find others that new the audio space to continue to learn from. With some good friends and extended acquaintances from my extensive network, I was able to create the prototype for Pawnix. I then interviewed different manufacturing teams, and didn't stop when I was told it could not be done. I continued to ask quesetions until I found partners that would look at the science and testing data, and not what seemed like an insurmountable journey, and got them on board to the Pawnix team. Because of a great idea and persistence, I launched Pawnix. With the right idea, and drive, anything can be done.

This is why I am sharing my journey with you, so that you too can start to follow your dreams.
