hey how come help it make me a rich man
so you want me to make you a rich man by
buying this of course Rossler and face
self lighting and extinguishing lanterns
patented May eighteenth 1858 I've asked
around people who deal in old things
like that no one has ever seen another
one like it okay well it looks like you
both deal with old things
maybe you should go have a drink
together today I brought in self
lighting and extinguishing lantern from
1858 I bought the lantern in a sale in
Huntington West Virginia I can't find
any evidence that it was ever actually
produced commercially so I'm assuming
that because I have one then it must be
that model it's pretty interesting it's
uh the patent thing is neat is it a big
deal to get the patent well back then it
was I mean this is 1858 and this patent
number 20,000 302 so that's 65 years in
and we got twenty thousand patents more
only a 10 million or so today they just
didn't issue that many patents back then
I mean it was probably in uh in 1858
yeah I'd be surprised if they did a
thousand patents that here nowadays
there's over well over a thousand
patents a day submitted to the Patent
Office and it was innovation like this
that changed the world
really did I was suppose the original
flashlight all right well my phone comes
with a flashlight now so you can keep it
in the 1800's this self lighting lantern
was a pretty revolutionary idea it used
to be a pain to light a lantern on a
windy day this you just press the button
that it was lit and patent models are
really collectible but I don't even know
if that's what we're looking at
what do you want to do with it I kind of
like to sell it how much you want for it
about $2,000
so how do you know this is a patent
model just because the tags on it
doesn't necessarily mean it's the patent
model okay I have no proof I just have
decades of knowledge okay it's really
really cool then it might be the patent
model I mean but I'd want a patent
letter or something with it and I don't
have that it didn't come with it where I
would have brought it okay
I'm gonna pass on it because I just I
you know you're asking a lot of money
and if I go to resell it I gotta be sure
it's a patent model and I'm not okay all
right thanks for bringing it in okay I'm
kind of sad that I didn't get what I
wanted but it's something that probably
belongs in a museum and it's probably
where it will wind up Chum what are you
doing just research and researching what
how to patent my name you can't patent a
name you could trademark a name a patent
is when you wouldn't Bend something well
I'm about to invent a way to make money
off my name cuz its patent trademarks
whatever that's my vision just get paid
for being Chumlee that is not how it
works if you're gonna trademark
something you actually have to get a
trademark which I do not think you
qualify for I do
I checked are you for sale you can rent
my time I'm not gonna go any further
with this conversation well go ahead
enjoy saying my name well it's free okay
Chumlee with a why is that okay
that's already trademarked they can sue
me then so how is the trademark coming
coming along great it looks like I'm
gonna be rich in no time so your
trademarking Chumlee yes I am and you
can go ahead and add right there at what
it's the money to the trademark
infringement fund you're saying my name
without proper written consent by myself
the owner of the intellectual property
Chumlee what are you two arguing about
now I'm not arguing about anything Chum
has that's two times Chumlee Chumlee
Chumlee for five that's trademark
infringement you know what do you have
your lawyer call my lawyers and we'll
see how it all goes you're using my name
and trade you're trading information
about my intellectual being okay now you
think it's funny
we'll see how funny it is when my
lawyers contact your team of lawyers
it's pretty amazing he's trying to
charge you for using his name no the
amazing part is that on his little jar
there he spelled infringement right
[Laughter]
