How Bootcamp Grads Can Patent Their Side Projects

You built a portfolio project during your coding bootcamp. Maybe it's a climate impact tracker or a health tech dashboard. Could you patent it? In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the surprisingly accessible world of provisional patent filings for bootcamp grads. They walk through the story of a bootcamp grad who patented a machine learning tool for farmers, the $65 provisional application fee, and why the 'first to file' system favors indie inventors. They also discuss how provisional patents can boost your resume, attract angel investors, and protect your IP before you launch. If you've ever wondered whether your side project is patentable — or how to navigate the USPTO without a lawyer — this episode gives you a concrete roadmap. No legal jargon, just practical steps for career changers who want to turn their code into intellectual property. #BootcampGrads #PatentStrategy #ProvisionalPatent #USPTO #SideProject #IPProtection #CareerPivot #TechCareers #BootcampProjects #IntellectualProperty #MachineLearning #AgTech #ClimateTech #HealthTech #IndieInventor #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
