What is a patent?

A patent is granted by the government to protect an invention, patents give the inventor with exclusive rights to create, use to sell, and promote the invention?society gains when a new technology is brought into the marketplace. The benefits may be directly, in that it can allow people to accomplish previously unattainable things, or indirectly, through the economic opportunities (business growth and employment) that innovation provides.

Patent protection is sought by a variety of university researchers and drug companies to protect their work in research and development. Patents can be granted for the creation of a product, process or method of making new materials. Patent protection must be granted to an invention that is beneficial or novel and is not previously known to others in the same area.

Patents are awarded to inventors who have commercially successful inventions. They act as an incentive for inventors to create. Small businesses and inventors are sure that they will earn a an excellent return on their investment in technology development. They can make a living by their work.

Businesses that have the capacity to:

Create and protect new products and services that are innovative;

Enhance the value, visibility, and attractiveness of your products market;

Make your company and products stand out from the competition;

Access business and technical expertise and information;

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

Patents convert knowledge of the inventor into an asset that can be sold, that opens new avenues to create jobs through joint ventures and licensing.

Small companies that have patent protection are more attractive to investors involved in the commercialization and development of technology.

Patenting can generate fresh ideas and innovative inventions. This information could encourage the development of new ideas and could qualify to be protected by patents.

Patents can be used to serve as an effective deterrent for untrustworthy third parties that profit from the efforts of an invention.

Patent-protected technology revenues that are commercially profitable may be used to finance technology research and development (R&D) which can increase the likelihood of better technology in future.

Intellectual property ownership can be used to convince lenders and investors that there are genuine opportunities to commercialize your product. Sometimes, one powerful patent can open the door to a variety of financing possibilities. Patents and other IP assets can be used as collateral or security for debt financing. Investors are also able to view your patent assets to increase their company valuation. Forbes and others have noted that each patent can increase between $500,000 and one million dollars to company valuation.

Start-ups need a well-constructed business plan that leverages the IP to prove that your product/service is unique and superior or ingenuous. Additionally, investors will be impressed if you can show that your IP rights are secured or in the process of becoming secure and that they align with your business strategy.

It is essential to keep your invention secret until you apply for patent protection. The public divulging an invention could often damage its novelty and invalidate it. Pre-filing disclosures, such as for investors, test-marketing or any other business partners, should be done only following the signing of a confidentiality agreement.

There are a variety of patents. Understanding the different types of patents is vital for protecting your invention. Utility patents cover the development of new methods and machines. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Patents for utility are the best option and shield the owner from copycats and other competitors. In most cases the utility patent is issued for improvements or modifications on existing inventions. They can also be used to improve or alter existing inventions. For instance, a process patent covers acts or methods of doing a specific act, whereas chemical compositions will comprise an assortment of ingredients.

What’s the duration of a patent last? Utility patents last 20 years from the initial filing dates, but their expirations may be extended due to delays in the patent office such as.

How to Search for Patents

The first step in getting the patent you want is to perform an internet search for patents. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. After the patent application has been filed, the item subject to the patent can be called patent-pending, and you can locate the patent application online on the public pair. Once the patent office approves the application, you are able to perform a patent search to find the patent, and your product has now been granted a patent. In addition to the USPTO search engine, you can also utilize other search engines, such as espacenet, which is described below. A patent lawyer or attorney can advise you on the procedure. Patents granted in the United States are granted by the US trademark and patent office, also known as the United States patent office and trademark office. This office also reviews trademark applications.

Interested in finding more similar patents? Here are the steps:

1. Think of terms that describe your invention, based on its purpose and composition or usage.

Begin by writing down a brief and precise description of your invention. Avoid using generic terms like “device,” “process,” and “system.” Instead, consider synonyms to the terms you initially chose. Then, note crucial technical terms as well as key words.

Use the questions below to help you identify key words or concepts.

• What is the purpose of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
• Invention is a method to come up with something or to perform a function? Are you referring to a product?
• What is the structure of the invention? What is the physical makeup of the invention?
• What is the goal of this invention?
• What are the technical words and terms that describe the essence of an invention? To assist you in finding the appropriate terms, use a technical dictionary.

2. Use these terms to search for relevant Cooperative Patent Classifications on the Classification Text Search Tool. If you are unable to find the right classification for your invention, look through the classification’s Schemas of classes (class schedules). If you do not get results using the Classification Text Search, you may want to consider replacing the words that describe your invention with synonyms.

3. Examine 3. Go over the CPC Classification Definition to confirm the accuracy of the CPC classification you’ve located. The hyperlink to the CPC classification definition will be available if the chosen classification title has a blue box that includes “D” on its left. CPC classification definitions can help determine the scope of the classification, so you are certain to choose the one that is relevant. Furthermore they can provide some tips for searching and other information that may be useful for further study.

4. Find patent documents that have the CPC classification from the Patents Full-Text and Image Database. You can review and find the most relevant patent publications by looking first at abstract and drawings representative of.

5. This list of patent publications is the best to examine for similarity to your idea. Be sure to read the claims and specifications. It is possible to find additional patents through contacting the patent examiner and applicant.

6. Find patent applications published in the public domain using the CPC classification you chose in Step 3 from the Applications Full-Text and Image Database. You can use the same method of search in Step 4 to narrow your search results to the most relevant patent application by examining the abstract and illustrations on every page. Next, carefully examine the patent applications that have been published with particular attention paid to the claims and the additional drawings.

7. Locate other US patents by keyword searches in PatFT and AppFT databases, searching for classification of non-U.S. patents as described below, and searching non-patent publications of inventions with internet search engines. 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.
