Oh, how do I patent them for mass production?

How can I patent my inventions before mass production?

Oh, yeah. So you absolutely—the first step is you do the patent search. The second step is there is a type of patent that can temporarily protect your rights for 12 months. It's called a provisional patent. And then during that provisional patent stage, you can produce a prototype; you can test the market; you can fine tune the idea; and then you're ready for mass production. Then you file the final patent and you get out the gates running.
