There are many opinions about the origin of the selfie stick in the past. Although there is no precise information, a young couple in Britain was considered the earliest to use the selfie stick in 1926.

The prototype of the selfie stick came out in 1983, which was extended by the support of two foot basins for the camera. However, after the patent expired in 2003, Canadian inventors applied for a patent for the camera pods for camera photography. And it is almost close to the later selfie stick, but the patent only involves camera equipment.

Therefore, even if Andy does not buy out the patent of this quick bean pod, it does not prevent Andy from 'inventing' the selfie stick, and applying for a patent, production and sales, the other party is powerless and has no way to protect this product concept. After all, Canadians didn't invent a selfie stick, they just invented a camera device called Quick Pod.

The selfie stick is a reasonable extension of the smartphone. The reason why it is popular all over the world is that, except for the fact that the world has entered the era of smartphones, the most important thing is that the selfie is always human nature.

In an age where justice is justice, selfies are a kind of "culture." Put yourself at the center of the stage and show others your life and thoughts.

Self-portraits not only carry people's unique aesthetics and values, they are a new way of expression and communication, but they will also promote a face-saving economy!

Can selfie sticks really make money?

Please remove it!

In the two years when the selfie stick was regarded as a self-timer artifact, a total of 100 billion pieces were sold worldwide even when the major attractions in the world were blocking the selfie stick. In the days when the brand was diverse, the fish and dragons were mixed, and the three products were numerous. Sales also reached more than 100 million US dollars!

It must be known that in the previous life, patents were confusing. Anyone and any company can produce and sell. The entire selfie stick industry has long been completely reduced to the conventional product industry. So-called patents have long been a global shared resource.

The total sales of 100 billion selfie sticks, even if the profit of each selfie stick is one dollar, this is also a big market of 100 billion dollars.

Of course, there can't be such a big cake in reality. After all, there is a Tianchao World factory. Materials such as selfie sticks, technology, and production are very simple. There are no threshold products. Those small workshops of electronic products can easily be copied. Then quickly occupied the market.

Even if Andy owns the patent of the selfie stick, then when facing a cottage selfie stick of 15 yuan in the dynasty, he can only speak silently.

Sue?

Everywhere, how do you sue? What if I win? Sky-high compensation in heaven? Ha ha all.

Andy drew all the selfie sticks he had seen, and sneered with the corners of his mouth rising. He would never go against the environment of the heavens. He was trying to vomit blood, and he was not happy.

He has long thought about the countermeasures. When the patent is registered, he will register it in all countries around the world, set up factories in the United States, produce high-level selfie sticks, and can open the license in countries with strict patent protection.

As for the dynasty, Andy has decided to copy his own products, infringe on his own patents, build a factory, and produce it. All prices are exhausted, and the Internet and entities are fully rolled out. Let ’s talk about the money in the barbarous circle.

When Tianchao began to value intellectual property rights, Andy began to use patented weapons to claim the names of companies and factories that had fallen out of the barbaric era!

Earn this circle, let the industry standardize, and then earn patent authorization money, alas, 18 billion can not be earned, billions of profits can still be guaranteed.

However, considering the tourist attractions in previous countries, Disney and other playgrounds have banned the use of selfie sticks, and Andy can't help but frown. If you face more regulations in the future, the popularity index of the selfie stick must also be Due to the huge impact, the tide may come down due to this.

There are two main reasons why the selfie stick is banned. On the one hand, the self-timer lever of wireless communication is worried about electromagnetic interference. On the other hand, because the self-timer lever is used in a crowd, accidents are likely to occur. Whether it is a stainless steel or carbon lever, it can be used as a weapon.

Fortunately, Andy used a selfie stick to take these issues into account. The length is controlled in 49. The so-called golden selfie distance can make the perfect balance between the framing range and the portrait selfie, and it is a safe length.

As for electromagnetic interference, Andy is going to skip the wireless phase directly and choose wired control with key control. The upgraded version is Bluetooth control, which directly makes the selfie stick more reasonable.

In this way, it will not cause controversy among all parties, and let the fashionable wave that may have just formed be wiped out by all kinds of troubles.

As for the more mature design solution, Andy didn't realize that it would make him less profitable. Instead, it may make the market for selfie sticks more stable and long-term because of solving these doubts and troubles in advance.

In that way, his patents will be more profitable, and the annual patent authorization will become part of his fixed income.

After Andy drew a selfie stick design with led fill light effect on both sides of a mobile phone holder, he began to draw a diagram of the selfie stick design mechanism with a small fan to help blow hair.

"Jingle Bell--"

Andy reached up and picked up the telephone receiver. While drawing the structure diagram with a pencil, he said, "I'm Andy Smith ..."

"Chairman, I belong to the mobile phone department ... the things you asked us to prepare are ready."

"Okay, thank you. In this way, it will be sent to my office. By the way, bring the toolbox, hot melt adhesive ..." Andy stopped the pen, said with a smile, and said what he needed, and then Hang up the phone.

After groaning, he put his hand on the answering machine and said to the little assistant outside, "Let the head of the patent department and the head of the legal department come over."

"Okay, boss."

Release the button, Andy continues to complete the design of the selfie stick with a small fan. He has drawn all the selfie stick styles he can think of. The ten kinds of details have different selfie sticks. He knows that this is a very small part However, there is no way. He knows so much. As for other styles, after the company is set up, the designer must open his mind. All he needs to do now is to register this patent and put this Patents are tightly controlled.

Ten minutes later, the office door was knocked, and a little assistant in white ol business attire led the two staff members holding the boxes in.

"Chairman."

"Well, trouble you, put it on the conference table."

Andy put down the pen in his hand, arranged the finished design, put it in a drawer, then stood up and walked to the conference table. The two staff members introduced the things he wanted and the toolbox one by one.

"Well, thank you." Andy looked at the materials and tools placed on the conference table one by one, smiled with satisfaction, and after shaking hands with them again, the little assistant sent them out of the office.

After Andy sat down, he picked up the telescopic rod, then picked up the black plastic holder, and rotated it in his hand a few times. Alas, the car navigation device holder, the money for this is enough to buy a selfie stick.

However, the design is innovative, and of course, the cost can not be saved. Set the telescopic rod and the fixed frame aside, Andy looked back at the little assistant who walked back and said, "Bring me a socket, I will use a hot melt gun ..."

The little assistant blinked with big eyes, and looked curiously as the Devil started to fiddle with the materials, watching him cut a pair of headphones with volume adjustment directly with scissors, throwing two earplugs into a cardboard box, and plugging the earphone cord Into the telescopic pole. . .

Seeing that the little devil was a little assistant who was going to make something, he found a long-line socket very easily, put it on the conference table, and helped Andy plug in the electric drill and the hot-melt gun. He was curious and looked at the big devil himself. Start tinkering.
