In this episode I go over a doctrine in patent law called the "Printed Matter Doctrine." You generally can't get a patent on something if the only difference is that you provided some written instructions on your product, even if those written instructions are new and non-obvious.  Learn what kinds of printed matter is and isn't patent eligible in this episode.
