In case of John, I would recommend a sole proprietorship because there is great risk in inventing something new. If the risk of inventing something new is shared with another individual or a group of individuals, the consequences for John will be higher. This is because John would have to suffer more consequences like being responsible for the losses of other individuals apart from his persona loss. If there would be profits earned by John after launching the new invention, it would be wise to save the profits on his own rather than sharing the profits.
