First question. It's from Diana. And her question is, how do I find a company I can trust with making my invention into a reality

and not getting ripped off? Okay, no, that's a terrific question. You said her name was Diana. Okay, yeah. So Diana, there's the patent office has a brochure as kind of a scam warning. And they have a list of things to look for. I believe it's posted in the in our online Facebook group, the inventors mastermind. And Jenny, you can always if you haven't already, I haven't been able to follow the chat group. But if you want to post a link to the inventors mastermind on Facebook, we should have that brochure there. If it's not there, we'll try to upload it perhaps over the weekend. And that's a list of things to look out for, that are red flags with companies that you're you're seeking help from to produce your idea. But the important thing that I want to stress is before you focus on making the the idea, you have to get it protected. First you have to file for a patent. Because in 2013, the last switch to a first to file system, and whoever files the patent first owns the idea. You don't want to be in the position of speaking to companies and working on a prototype if you're not protected. So that's number one. Secondly, there's a lot of costs involved in producing a product. Why incur that cost before you find out for sure that the idea is new. So you want to go you want to have a patent search done, and first confirm that you have a new idea. And then and then look at producing it next
