What is a patent?

Patents are granted by the government to safeguard an invention. It grants the inventor the exclusive rights to create, use and market the invention. Society is benefited when new technology is brought to the market. The benefits can be directly realized as people can achieve previously impossible feats or via the economic opportunities that innovation offers (business growth, employment).

Many pharmaceutical companies and researchers at universities seek patent protection for their research and developments. Patents can be granted to an abstract or physical product or process or a technique or composition of material unique to the area. In order to be granted protection under a patent an invention has to be innovative, novel and not apparent to other people within the same area.

Patents reward inventors who have commercially viable inventions. They act as a motivator for inventors to invent. Patents allow inventors and small companies to know that there is an excellent chance that they will receive a return for their efforts, time and money spent on technology development. This means they will be able to earn a living from their work.

Businesses that have the capacity to:

Secure your products and services

Enhance the visibility and worth of your products on market

Make your brand stand out from the rest.

Access to business and technical knowledge and data;

Avoid the risk of accidentally using proprietary third-party content, or losing valuable information, innovative outputs, or another creative output.

Patents transform inventor’s knowledge into a valuable asset that opens new avenues for employment creation through joint ventures and licensing.

Investors who are involved in the commercialization and development of technology will find small companies with patent protection appealing.

Patenting can generate fresh ideas and innovative inventions. This information can encourage the development of new ideas and may be eligible for protection under patents.

Patents are a way to stop untrustworthy third-party companies from earning from the invention’s efforts.

The profits from technology patents that are successful and commercially viable could be used to finance technological research and development (R&D) that will boost the likelihood of improved technology in the future.

It is possible to use the intellectual property rights of your company to convince investors and lenders that your product has real commercial potential. A single patent could lead to multiple financing opportunities. Patents and other IP assets can be utilized as collateral or security for financing debt. Investors can also see your patent assets to boost the value of their company. Forbes and other publications have pointed out that every patent can boost the value of your company by as much as $500,000 to $1 million.

A well-constructed business plan is vital for start-ups. It must be built on IP and explain what your service or product is distinctive. Investors will also be impressed when you demonstrate that your IP rights are secure or are in progress of being secure, and that they are in line with your business strategy.

It is crucial to keep your invention secret until you submit for patent protection. The public disclosure of an invention can often damage its novelty and make it invalid. Disclosures that are filed prior to filing, like for investors, test-marketing or other business partners, should be done only after the signing of a confidentiality agreement.

There are numerous types of patents. Knowing them is essential to safeguard your invention. Utility patents protect new processes and machine creations. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Patents for utility are the most effective since they protect the proprietor from copycats and other competitors. Patents for utility are usually granted to improve or alter existing inventions. Utility patents also cover improvements and changes in existing inventions. A process patent could describe the methods or actions to perform a specific action. But, a chemical composition will include a combination of ingredients.

What is the length of time a patent will last? Utility patents last 20 years from the earliest date they were filed, but their expirations may be extended due to delays at the patent office for instance.

Are you thinking of the patenting of your idea? Since patents are only granted for applicants who are first to file and you must start filing quickly. Call a patent attorney at PatentPC to patent your idea now!

A patent search is a must when you are preparing an application for patent. This will enable you to view different ideas and give you insight into their creations. You’ll be able to narrow down the scope of your invention. Furthermore, you’ll discover the latest technological advancements in your field of invention.

How to Search for Patents

The first step in getting your patent is to conduct the patent search. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Patent-pending refers to the product protected by the patent application. You can search the public pair to locate the patent application. When the patent office is satisfied with your application, you will be able to do a patent number search to locate the patent that was issued. Your product is now patentable. It is also possible to use the USPTO search engine. Read on for more details. A patent lawyer or patent attorney can advise you on the process. Patents in the United States are granted by the US trademark and patent office or the United States patent office. The office also examines trademark applications.

Are you interested in similar patents? Here are the steps to follow:

1. Think of terms to describe your invention, based on the purpose, composition and usage.

Write down a short, but precise explanation of your invention. Do not use generic terms such as “device,” “process,” and “system.” Look for synonyms to the terms you picked initially. Next, note important technical terms as well as keywords.

Utilize the following questions to help you determine key words or concepts.

• What is the objective of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
• Is inventing a method to make something or carry out a function? Or is it a product or process?
• What is the structure of the invention? What is the invention’s physical composition?
• What is the goal of the invention?
• What are the terms in the technical field and keywords that define the nature of an invention? A technical dictionary will help you identify the correct terms.

2. Utilize these terms to locate relevant Cooperative Patent Classifications at the Classification Text Search Tool. To determine the best classification for your invention, scan the classification’s class Schemes (class schedules). If you do not get results using the Classification Text Search, you may consider substituting the words for describing your invention with synonyms.

3. Examine the CPC Classification Definition to confirm the validity of the CPC classification you’ve found. If the classification you have selected has a blue box with an “D” on its left, clicking on the hyperlink will direct you to a CPC classification description. CPC classification definitions can be used to identify the specific classification’s scope, so you are certain to choose the one that is appropriate. Furthermore they can provide research tips and other suggestions that could be useful for further research.

4. The Patents Full-Text Database and the Image Database allow you to search for patent documents that have the CPC classification. By focusing on the abstracts and representative drawings you can narrow your search to find patents that are most pertinent to your needs.

5. This selection of patent publication is the most effective to look at for any connections with your invention. Pay close attention to the specification and claims. Refer to the applicant and patent examiner for any additional patents.

6. It is possible to find patent applications published in the public domain that meet the CPC classification that you chose in Step 3. The similar search strategy is applicable to step 4. You can filter your search results in order to locate the most relevant patent applications by looking over the abstracts and drawings for every page. After that, you must review the patent applications that have been published carefully and pay particular attention to the claims, and other drawings.

7. You can look up additional US patent publications by keyword searching in AppFT or PatFT databases, and also search for patents classified as not from the United States per below. Additionally, you can make use of search engines on the internet to search for non-patent-related documents that describe inventions in the literature. Here are a few examples:

• Add keywords to your search. Keyword searches may turn up documents that are not well-categorized or have missed classifications during Step 2. For example, US patent examiners often supplement their classification searches with keyword searches. Think about the use of technical engineering terminology rather than everyday words.
• Search for foreign patents using the CPC classification. Then, re-run the search using international patent office search engines such as Espacenet, the European Patent Office’s worldwide patent publication database of over 130 million patent publications. Other national databases include:
• European Patent Office (EPO) provides esp@cenet to access a network of Europe’s patent databases with access to machine translation of European patents. 
• Japan Patent Office (JPO) – with access to machine translations of Japanese patents.
• World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) offers PATENTSCOPE with a full-text search of published international patent applications and machine translations for some documents, as well as a list of international patent databases.
• Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS)
• State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) with machine translation of Chinese patents.
• Other International Intellectual Property Offices with online patent databases include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan.
• Search non-patent literature. Inventions can be made public in many non-patent publications. It is recommended that you search journals, books, websites, technical catalogs, conference proceedings, and other print and electronic publications.

To review your search, you can hire a registered patent attorney to assist. A preliminary search will help one better prepare to talk about their invention and other related inventions with a professional patent attorney. In addition, the attorney will not spend too much time or money on patenting basics.
