Everyone has an app idea, but very few people actually understand whether that idea can be patented or why so many app patents fail before they ever get off the ground. Is it the code? The features? The idea itself? Or something else entirely? In this episode, we break down what really makes an app patentable, why simply "having an app" is not enough, and the biggest mistakes founders make before they file. If you're building software, planning a startup, or just wondering whether your app idea is actually protectable, this is the episode you want to hear before you spend a dime on a patent.
