Everytime I see somone on any platform that asks about the patent it is either a post MH JV investor or a person that has not done enough research.
How does one postpone a patent? What would the advantage be here?
here is one link that is good info on this scenario for patents (continuation application).
https://www.cooleygo.com/using-continuation-applications-strategically/
The advantage in this one scenario for Sproutly is that other companies that want to replicate their extraction process just slightly to get past the patent will be delayed. It is futile to fight this. Sen has done the beverage thing before. Fedor talks about a "failed" Sen company with bottled water but if anyone knows anything about the beverage business is that it is one of the most competitive space up there with tobacco. In my opinion the THC beverage space is unchallenged at this point with PepsiCo and Coca-Cola our of the mix. This is a vital time for Sproutly to get their product on the shelves.
And for you Cuckfoo, there are multiple 2018 Sen interviews that he talks about this, also in your search you need to search podcast's as well, where he was not even involved with Sprputly at the time ( earlier than the Sproutly transaction as well).
Sen is creating what is known as a moat or a web surrounding his gem patent. By continuously adding to the complexity of the initial tech patent such as developed analytics testing methods and what ever else this genius has developed, it allows the patent to reach further lock down and private reservations of work. This creates added barriers to those searching for what Sen has developed and will further shield APP tech.
Also, patents are time sensitive. I believe US patents have a life of 20 yrs. After this time, an application for extension can be filed but soldom are they approved. I assume this why the patent has not been pushed for finalizing as well as the time it takes to approve a patent which could be years. I believe we are already at least 2 years in on the initial patent submission but do not quote me on that I would have to go back and double check. He can continue to string the application along by adding and amending the original application without affecting the 15 year time line. Check out the patent history for companies like Coke, Pepsi, KFC, McDonald’s, Worcester Shire Sauce etc it will make your head spin!
Fun info, KFC had recipe written on the wood beam of his original chicken hut for years before finalizing, filing and being commercialized. Worcester Shire sauce sat for years in a barrel neglected by chemists and relocated by mistake. They fought for the trade mark name and origins of the recipe, it remains one of highest selling sauces today for Kraft Heinz, ask Buffett.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this patent is played out to include all of the barrier products $PR has independently formulated present and future. Sound familiar.... Pepsi, Pepsi clear, Diet Pepsi... Coke coke classic, cherry coke, Diet Coke... etc etc.
