The process of creating computer programs is divided into two parts: the process of designing an organization structure for the program, and the process of writing a code in a computer language.

Different methods have been devised when it comes to defining the structure of a program but the most effective, efficient, and widely employed method is drawing the design of a program using the flowchart.

A flowchart is a visual representation which outlines the way a program operates after it starts. It provides information about how it processes input data, what actions it performs, when it outputs results, and how it comes to an end. The flowchart may be used to direct the program along an logical flow.

There are many services which use flowcharts to help them understand the flow of events. These services include Chatbot Builder as well as Rule Manager and Workflow Management applications.

In the case of the conventional authoring tools for writing content that has flowchart-like forms The main elements like cards, control boxes, or similar items which comprise the flowchart are selected in a list area on the top or left side of the GUI of the flowchart. These components are dropped, dragged, or clicked on to add them to the flowchart currently. People who aren’t knowledgeable about flowchart programs can easily locate the components in the GUI. However, this causes inefficiency in thatprofessional users of the program must go through the list of elements each time.

What is a patent?

A patent is issued by the government to protect the idea. It grants the inventor the exclusive right to create, use and market the invention. Society is benefited when new technologies are brought to market. The benefits can be realized directly as people are able to perform feats previously thought impossible and indirectly by the opportunities for economic growth which innovation can bring (business growth, employment).

Patent protection is demanded out by many pharmaceutical companies and university researchers for development and research. Patents may cover the physical or abstract nature of a product or process or the method or composition of material new to the area. In order to be granted protection under a patent, an invention must be innovative, novel, and not obvious to anyone else in the same field.

Patents give inventors a reward for commercially successful inventions. They serve as a motivator for inventors to come up with new ideas. Small-scale businesses and inventors are certain that they will receive an income from the investment they make in technology development via patents. This means they will be able to earn money from their work.

Companies that are able to:

Secure your products and services

Enhance the value, appearance, and visibility of your products on the market

Differentiate your business and products from others;

Find business and technical information.

Avoid accidentally using third-party content or you could lose valuable data or creative outputs as well as other outputs.

Patents transform inventor’s knowledge into a valuable asset which opens up new opportunities to create jobs by licensing joint ventures and joint ventures.

Investors involved in the development and commercialization of technology may find small-scale businesses that have patent protection more appealing.

Patenting can lead to the development of fresh ideas and innovative inventions. This information can promote creativity and could be eligible for protection under patents.

Patents can be used to stop untrustworthy third parties from making money from the invention’s efforts.

Patent-protected technology revenues that are commercially profitable can be used for financing technological research and development (R&D) that can enhance the likelihood of improved technology in future.

Intellectual property ownership is a way to convince investors and lenders that there are real chances to market your product. One powerful patent may open the door for many financing opportunities. You can use patents and other IP assets as collateral or security financing. Investors can also see your patent assets to increase the value of your business. Forbes and others have pointed out that each patent can increase company valuation by anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million.

Start-ups need a well-constructed business plan that is built on the IP to show your product or service is distinctive, superior, or innovative. Investors will also be impressed if you can demonstrate that your IP rights are secured or are in the process of becoming secure and that they align with your business plan.

It is crucial to protect an invention prior to filing for patent protection. A public disclosure of an invention can frequently devalue its originality and invalidate it. Pre-filing disclosures, such as for investors, test-marketing, or any other business partners, must be done after signing a confidentiality agreement.

There are a variety of patents. Understanding the different types of patents is vital to protect your invention. Utility patents cover new methods and inventions made by machines. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Patents for utility are the best option and protect the owner against copies and competitors. They are typically granted to enhance or modify existing inventions. Utility patents can also be used to cover improvements and changes in existing inventions. A process patent will be a way to describe the actions or methods to perform a particular action. A chemical composition will include the combination of components.

What is the length of time a patent will last? Although utility patents are valid for 20 years from the date of the initial filing, they may be extended through delays at the Patent Office.

Patent searches are an essential step when you are drafting an application for patent. This allows you to look at other concepts and provide insights into them. This can help you restrict the scope of your idea. Additionally, you’ll be able to discover the latest art in your field of invention. You’ll get a better understanding of what your idea should be, and you’ll be better prepared to write your patent application.

How to Search for Patents

Patent searches are the first step towards obtaining your patent. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Once the patent application has been submitted, the product that is covered by the application can be referred to as patent-pending and you can find the patent application on public pair. When the patent office is satisfied with your application, you’ll be able to do a patent number look to find the patent issued. Your product will now become patented. It is also possible to use the USPTO search engine. See below for details. For assistance, consult a patent lawyer. Patents granted in the United States are granted by the US trademark and patent office or the United States patent office. The trademark office also evaluates trademark applications.

Are you interested in finding similar patents? These are the steps you should follow:

1. Create a list of terms for your invention, based on its purpose or composition.

Start by writing down a succinct, precise description of your idea. Don’t use generic terms such as “device”, “process” or “system”. Instead, look for synonyms to the terms you selected initially. Also, make note of key technical terms as well as keywords.

To help you find terms and keywords, you can use the following questions.

  • What is the objective of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
  • Does the invention consist of a method of making something or carrying out an action? Are you referring to an item?
  • What is the composition of the invention? What is the physical composition of the invention?
  • What’s the purpose of this invention?
  • What are the technical terms and keywords used to define the nature of an invention? A technical dictionary can help you find the appropriate words.

2. These terms allow you to search for pertinent Cooperative Patent Classifications at Classification Search Tool. To find the most appropriate classification to your invention, go through the classification’s class Schemes (class schedules). Consider substituting the words you’re using for describing your invention, if you don’t find any results in the Classification Text Search with synonyms such as the terms you used in the first step.

3. Examine 3. Go over the CPC Classification Definition to verify the validity of the CPC classification you’ve discovered. If the selected classification title has a blue box with a “D” on its left, the link will lead you to the CPC classification definition. CPC classification definitions can help determine the relevant classification’s scope which is why you can be certain to pick the most relevant. These definitions may also include some search tips or other recommendations that could be helpful for further research.

4. Find patent documents that have the CPC classification from the Patents Full-Text and Image Database. You can search and find the most relevant patent publications noting first the abstract and the drawings that are representative.

5. This selection of patent publication is the most appropriate to look at for any similarity to your idea. Pay close attention to the specification and claims. Contact the applicant as well as the patent examiner for any additional patents.

6. Search for patent applications that have been published using the CPC classification you selected in Step 3 in the Applications Full-Text and Image Database. You can use the same method of search in Step 4 to narrow your results to the most relevant patent application by looking at the abstract and illustrations on every page. Next, examine the patent applications that have been published carefully, paying special attention to the claims as well as other drawings.

7. You can search for other US patent publications using keyword searching in AppFT or PatFT databases, as well as classification searches for non-U.S. Patents, as listed below. You can also use web search engines to find non-patent literature disclosures about inventions. Here are some 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:
  • 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.
