I am trying to understand where to begin when building a tech startup. For an electronic product, does it make sense to pursue a patent from the very beginning? Hypothetically speaking, let’s say I am building a video doorbell product (like Ring) in a world where such a product does not already exist. It seems like it wouldn’t necessarily make sense to pursue a patent as the first step since the patent wouldn’t stop other companies like Nest, Arlo, Logitech, etc. from making their own version of a video doorbell. Could someone shed some light on this topic please? Any help is greatly appreciated.
