Search Patent for Providing quality of service for certificate management systems
Manufacturers are developing different devices that incorporate processors and computers as they shrink and become simpler to use. A computer embedded within a computerized device can manage its operation, gather information, store and share it, communicate with computers around the world, and even update the software.
The Internet of Things (IoT), is a network of computerized physical devices with embedded processors electronic components, software, data and actuators. They can communicate with and exchange data through digital networks including mobile networks as well as other wireless networks. Typically, each “thing” is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system, and is able to inter-operate within the existing Internetinfrastructure.
“Things”, in the IoT sense, can refer to a wide variety of electronic devices, such as consumer appliances, corporate devices that are used in corporate and business settings, production machines, farming equipment, energy-consuming appliances in buildings and homes (switches or power outlets, appliances, lighting systems, bulbs televisions, garage door openers, sprinkler systems, security systems, etc. ) medical and health devices, infrastructure management devices, drones, robots and transport devices and vehicles, among numerous others.
For example, the majority if not all, modern transportation equipment and vehicles (e.g., vehicles, trucks, aircraft, trains, watercraft and motorbikes, scooters and similar) have embedded processors or embedded computers within their subsystems and are computer controlled at least in certain aspects. The increasing number of modern transportation infrastructure equipment like traffic sensors, cameras, lights, bridge monitors and bridge control systems include at minimum one embedded processor or computer system, and are computer controlled in most aspects. These computer-controlled elements of the transportation network typically communicate with each other, passingvarious types of information back and forth, and they may react, respond, change their operation, or otherwise depend upon the information received/sent from/to other vehicles in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V; also known as Car-to-Car (C2C)) communicationsand/or from/to infrastructure elements in Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I; also known as Car-to-Infrastructure (C2I)) communications for safe, correct, efficient, and reliable operation.
Computerized devices work in conjunction with the firmware, software, and data. To ensure that computers function safely and properly they must be correctly installed with the correct software,firmware and executable instructions. These are collectively known as “digital assets” and “software”. This is to ensure that only approved quality software and data are executed by IoT devices. However, problems arise when unauthorised individuals or organizations (e.g. hackers) alter or replace software on computers. The same problem can be experienced when older software, untested software unapproved software, and/or software that has known bugs is installed on computers.
In the area of computer networking, packet switched networks and Telecommunications Quality of Service (QoS), is a set of technologies and techniques which are designed to improve service to customers, clients and users, as well as devices or network traffic. QoS gives assurances about the performance of a system or network. QoS metrics can include delay, availability, latency, bandwidth, upload data transfer rate, download data transfer rate, and per-sessionupload/download limits (i.e., total amount of megabytes or gigabytes that can be uploaded and/or downloaded during a network session). Different levels of QoS can be assigned by a service or network to various clients and users. QoS can also guaranteea certain amount of performance for a user or client device according to the requests of the application. If computing capacity or network bandwidth is limited or requests are prone to delays, QoS promises that the system will perform as expected.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide improved systems, methods and techniques for providing QoS levels while securely provisioning digital assets in computerized devices, such as IoT devices, vehicles, and transportation infrastructuredevices, in order to reduce or eliminate delays in provisioning the digital assets in the computerized devices.

What is a patent?
A patent is granted by the government to safeguard an invention. It grants the inventor the right to develop, utilize and market the invention. Society is benefited when new technology is brought for sale. The benefits can be directly realized when people can accomplish feats previously unattainable as well as indirectly through the opportunities for business growth that innovation provides (business growth, employment).
Many pharmaceutical companies and university researchers seek protection under patents to protect their research and development. Patents can be granted to an abstract or physical product or process or a technique or composition of material that are new to the field. Patent protection is granted to an invention that is beneficial or novel and is not yet known by other people in the same field.
Patents are a way to reward inventors for their commercially successful inventions. They provide a reason for inventors to invent. Small-scale businesses and inventors can rest sure that they will earn a a good return on their investment in the development of technology. They could earn a decent income by their work.
Companies that are able to:
Create and protect innovative products and services;
Your product will be more visible as well as valuable and appealing to the market.
Stand out and differentiate yourself and your product from the rest.
Access to business and technical knowledge and data;
Avoid the danger of accidentally using proprietary third-party content, or losing your valuable data, original outputs, or any other innovative output.
Patents transform inventors’ knowledge into a marketable asset that opens up new possibilities for employment creation and expansion of businesses by licensing or joint ventures.
Small-scale businesses with patent protection are more appealing to investors who are involved in the commercialization and development of technology.
Patents can result in innovations and new ideas. These information may be protected by patents.
Patents can serve as a deterrent to untrustworthy third parties that profit from the invention’s success.
Patent-protected technology revenue that is commercially profitable can be used for financing technological research and development (R&D) that can increase the odds of developing better technology in future.
It is possible to use the intellectual property rights of your company to convince investors and lenders that your product is a viable commercial value. Sometimes, a powerful patent can open the door to multiple financing options. You can use patents and other IP assets as collateral or security for financing. You may also present investors with your patent assets to increase the value of your company. Forbes and others have pointed out that each patent can add anything from $500,000 to one million dollars to your company’s valuation.
A properly-written business plan is vital for start-ups. It must be founded on IP and demonstrate the way your product or service is distinctive. Investors will also be impressed if you can show that your IP rights are secured or are in progress of being secure, and that they are in line with your business plan.
It is crucial to keep an invention secret prior to filing for patent protection. Public disclosure of an invention prior to filing could often erode its originality and render it unpatentable. Therefore, prior filing disclosures (e.g., for test-marketing investors, investors, or for other business partners) should only be filed upon signing a confidentiality contract.
There are many types of patents. Knowing the different types of patents is vital to protect your invention. Utility patents protect new techniques and machines. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Utility patents are the best as they protect the owner from copycats as well as other competition. Most often they are granted for alterations or improvements to existing inventions. Utility patents also cover enhancements and modifications to existing inventions. A process patent will cover the acts or methods of performing a specific act. But, a chemical composition will include an amalgamation of ingredients.
What is the length average of a patent? Patents that are utility-related last for 20 years from the earliest date of filing, however their expirations may be extended because of delays at the patent office such as.

How to Search for Patents
The first step to get your patent is to conduct an internet search for patents. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Patent-pending refers to the product included in the patent application. It is possible to search for the public pair to locate the patent application. Once the patent office approves the patent application, you are able to do a patent number search to locate the patent that was issued which means that your product will now be patented. Alongside the USPTO search engine, you may also use other search engines, such as espacenet, which is described below. You can get help from an attorney for patents. In the US, patents are issued through the US patent and trademark office or the United States patent and trademark office, which is also responsible for examining trademark applications.
Are you interested in similar patents? Here are the steps you should follow:
1. Create a list of terms that describe your invention based upon the intention, composition, and usage.
Write down a short detailed description of the invention. Be sure to avoid using terms that are generic such as “device,” “process,” and “system.” Look for synonyms to the terms you picked initially. Then, note crucial technical terms and key words.
To help you recognize terms and keywords, you can use the following questions.
- What’s the purpose of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
- Invention is a method to create something or perform some function? Are you referring to a product?
- What is the composition of the invention? What is the physical makeup of the invention?
- What is the goal of the invention?
- What are technical terms and phrases that define the characteristics of an invention? To find the right terms, refer to a technical dictionary.
2. These terms will allow you to find pertinent Cooperative Patent Classifications using the Classification Search Tool. To find the best classification for your invention, go through the classification’s class Schemes (class schedules). If you don’t get any results using the Classification Text Search, you might consider substituting your words that describe your invention using synonyms.
3. Check 3. Check the CPC Classification Definition for confirmation of the CPC classification you have found. If the selected classification title includes a blue square with a “D” to its left, clicking on the hyperlink will take you to the CPC classification definition. CPC classification definitions will help you determine the applicable classification’s boundaries so that you can choose the most appropriate. They may also provide search tips or other suggestions that could be helpful for further investigation.
4. Get patent documents using the CPC classification from the Patents Full-Text and Image Database. You can review and find the relevant patent documents by looking first at abstract and representative drawings.
5. Use this selection of the most pertinent patent documents to look at each in detail to find similarities to your own invention. Be sure to read the claims and specification. Refer to the applicant and patent examiner for any additional patents.
6. Find patent applications published in the public domain using the CPC classification you selected in Step 3 in the Applications Full-Text and Image Database. It is also possible to use the same search strategy that you used in Step 4 to narrow down your search results to the most relevant patents by reading the abstracts as well as the drawings on every page. The next step is to review all published patent applications carefully and pay particular attention to the claims and other drawings.
7. You can search for additional US patent publications by keyword searching in AppFT or PatFT databases, as well as classification searching of patents not from the US per below. Also, you can use web search engines to search non-patent literature disclosures about inventions. For example:
- 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.
