IDEAAnd all future iterations, so long as I keep making improvements, yes. It's called a "continuation-in-part" (CIP) which basically allows you expand on your original use, so long as it's not too far a stretch. This was key to the "monopolizing" the idea, essentially (or so I understand)...- Yoda

Idea > Profit

It's too hard! I quit! I'm done!
The worst part is... the upper echelon is not even in trouble yet. If they're paycheck-to-paycheck now... they're still afloat. Imagine when the House of Cards falls and the income isn't there. One of the greatest failures of our schools today is not teaching basic financial principles...- Yoda

Is it all organic search? Maybe it's a website which, over time, has pooled masses of emails for sales? Maybe it's a...- Yoda

Why you should avoid business partners at all costs
PEOPLEHow could you advise that? What if person A has a license or product which would take the market by the throat, but it isn't because of lack of execution?
