method patent

Read a random definition: preferred cause

A quick definition of method patent:

A method patent is a type of patent that gives the inventor the right to stop others from using their method or process for a certain amount of time (usually 20 years). This is granted by the government if the method is new, useful, and not obvious. It's like a special permission to be the only one who can use a certain way of doing something. It's important to note that having a method patent doesn't automatically give the inventor the right to make or sell anything related to the method, if it would infringe on someone else's patent.

A more thorough explanation:

A method patent is a type of patent that protects a process or method of doing something. It gives the inventor the right to exclude others from making, using, marketing, selling, offering for sale, or importing an invention for a specified period of time (usually 20 years from the date of filing) if the device or process is novel, useful, and non-obvious.

For example, if someone invents a new way of making a cake, they can apply for a method patent to protect their process. This would prevent others from using the same process to make cakes without the inventor's permission.

Other types of patents include design patents, which protect the appearance of an article of manufacture, and utility patents, which protect machines, processes, and compositions of matter.

also if you are bad at lifting find someone to help, if your a girl I am sure you can easily get a dude to help you out just find one that isn't a perv. The form of the lift is 1000000x more important then the weight. If you got an extra $15 a month check out the Playbook app, a lot of how to do workout videos, workout routines and all that to help you get better form and ideas of what works best for you, it even has ALOT of at home workouts if thatll make you comfier

@triplethread: it depends on what you want to do with your lifts. Machines are very targeted so will work perfect muscles and less form relient. Cable are amazing because it work the full function of the work out while enganging more secondary and 3rd muscle supports. Free weights are amazing for functional and a lot can engage and grow your core strength if done right. Just do a light mix when you find what works for you
