This letter is intended to establish documented evidence of conception, ownership, and intent to seek legal protection, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, and patent rights under applicable United States and international intellectual property laws.

IDENTIFICATION OF CREATOR AND OWNER

I, Jasmine Renae Taylor, am the sole and original creator, inventor, and intellectual property owner of the concept described in this document. I am the lawful owner and operator of JAI ON EARTH, under which this idea was conceived, developed, and reduced to a tangible, describable form.

All rights, title, and interest in the intellectual property described herein are retained exclusively by Jasmine Renae Taylor, unless otherwise expressly transferred in writing through a legally binding agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGINAL IDEA

The intellectual property subject to this declaration is an original snack food concept and product line titled:

“CrustBites”

CrustBites is a unique snack product concept designed for broad consumer appeal, including children, adults, and general snack consumers. The product consists of small, bite-sized snack pieces, cut into approximately one-inch square portions, intended for convenient consumption, portion control, and shareable packaging.

The product is envisioned to be distributed in frozen form, maintaining freshness, texture, and flavor integrity. Each package is designed to contain approximately twelve (12) to fifteen (15) individual bite-sized pieces.

The core distinguishing feature of CrustBites lies in its combination of flavor profiles, texture contrasts, and size format, specifically including (but not limited to) the flavor variation:

  • Crunchy peanut butter and chocolate

The product name, concept, flavor combinations, size configuration, frozen delivery method, and overall consumer positioning collectively form a novel snack system with commercial potential.

ORIGINALITY AND NOVELTY

The CrustBites concept is an original creation, developed independently and without copying or derivation from any known existing product, recipe, brand, or commercially available snack at the time of conception.

The novelty of CrustBites includes, but is not limited to:

  • The specific bite-sized square format
  • The frozen snack distribution model
  • The combination of dessert-style flavors with a structured “bite” format
  • The branding identity and naming convention
  • The portion quantity per package
  • The conceptual design as a versatile snack suitable for multiple demographics

This concept was created through original thought, experimentation, and creative development by the undersigned.

INTENT TO SEEK PATENT PROTECTION

This document explicitly establishes the creator’s intent to pursue patent protection, where applicable, including but not limited to:

  • Utility patent protection for methods of preparation, formulation, freezing process, portioning, or packaging systems
  • Design patent protection for the visual or structural design of the snack format
  • Trade secret protection for proprietary recipes, processes, or manufacturing methods not publicly disclosed

This declaration may be used as supporting documentation in connection with a provisional patent application or non-provisional patent filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or relevant international authorities.

COPYRIGHT PROTECTION

This document asserts copyright ownership over:

  • The written description of the CrustBites concept
