A system and method for rapid check-in and inheriting trust using a user entity device. The system and the method described herein allows the identity of a person to be continually proven because of user entity’s behavior and their biometrics. With all the fraud and risk that exist today, if someone has a user entity’s driver’s license they can do quite a bit of damage. An identity provider can tie a user’s identity to the device (e.g. a smartphone) and, once the user enters a location (e.g. airport, hotel or bank) it will be a continuous authentication process takes place as the device travels to the destination and it interacts with the services it provides.

What is a patent?

Patents are granted by the government to protect the invention. It gives the inventor the sole right to create, use and sell the idea. Society is benefited when new technology is introduced to market. The benefits can be realized directly by people who are able to achieve previously impossible feats as well as indirectly through the opportunities for economic growth which innovation can bring (business expansion, jobs).

Patent protection is sought out by many university researchers and drug companies for their research and development. Patents can be granted to an abstract or physical product or process, or even a method or composition of materials new to the field. To be granted patent protection the invention must be novel, useful and not apparent to other people in the same field.

Patents are a way to honor inventors who have commercially successful inventions. They are an incentive to inventors to come up with new ideas. Small companies and inventors can rest assured that they will get an excellent return on their investment in the development of technology. They could earn a decent income from their work.

Patents are a crucial part of firms and can be used to:

Protect innovative products and services;

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

Stand out and differentiate yourself and your product from the competition.

Access to business and technical knowledge and other information;

Avoid accidentally using third-party content or losing valuable information, innovative outputs or any other outputs that are creative.

Patents effectively transform the inventor’s knowledge into a commercially tradeable asset that opens up new possibilities for employment creation and growth of business through licensing or joint ventures.

Small-scale businesses with patent protection are more attractive to investors involved in the commercialization and development of technology.

Patenting can lead to innovative ideas and inventions. This information can encourage innovation and may qualify to be protected by patents.

Patents can be used to prevent untrustworthy third parties from profiting through the work of inventions.

Commercially successful patent-protected technology revenues can be used to finance the development of technology through research and development (R&D), which will improve the chances of developing better technology in the near future.

Intellectual property ownership is a way to convince lenders and investors that there are legitimate opportunities to commercialize your product. A powerful patent can provide multiple financing opportunities. Patents and other IP assets are able to be used as collateral or security to finance debt. You can also show investors your patent assets to increase the value of your company. Forbes and others have noted that every patent could add anything from $500,000 to a million dollars in company valuation.

Startups require a well-crafted business plan that builds on the IP to prove that your product/service is unique or superior to others. Additionally, investors will be impressed if you demonstrate that your IP rights are secured or are in the process of becoming secure and that they align with your business strategy.

It is important to keep your invention secret until you file to protect it with patents. The public disclosure of an invention before it is filed can typically devalue its novelty and make it ineligible for patent protection. Disclosures that are filed prior to filing, like for investors, test-marketing, or other business partners is best done following the signing of a confidentiality agreement.

There are many kinds of patents. Understanding these is vital to safeguard your invention. Utility patents cover new methods and inventions made by machines. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Utility patents are best and protect the owner against competitors and copycats. Utility patents are often issued to enhance or alter existing inventions.

How to Search for Patents

The first step in getting your patent is to do a patent search. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Patent-pending is the term for the product covered by the patent application. It is possible to search the public pair to locate the patent application. Once the patent office approves the application, you will be able to do a patent number search to locate the patent that was issued which means that your product has been granted patent. In addition to the USPTO search engine, you can use other search engines such as espacenet as described below. For assistance, you can consult an attorney who is a patent or patent attorney. Patents in the United States are granted by the US trademark and patent office or the United States Patent and Trademark office. This office also reviews trademark applications.

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

1. Create a list of terms to describe your invention based on the purpose, composition and application.

Write down a brief, but precise explanation of your invention. Avoid using generic terms like “device,” “process,” and “system.” Think about synonyms for the terms you initially chose. Also, keep track of important technical terms, as well as keywords.

Utilize the following questions to help you find keywords or concepts.

  • What is the goal of the invention Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
  • Does the invention consist of a method of making something or performing some function? Or is it a product or process?
  • What is the purpose and composition of the invention? What is the physical structure of the invention?
  • What’s the objective of this invention?
  • What are the technical terms and terms that define the nature 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. To determine the most suitable classification for your invention, scan the class scheme of the classification (class schedules). If you do not get results using the Classification Text Search, you might consider substituting your words that describe your invention using synonyms.

3. Review the CPC Classification Definition to verify the relevancy of the CPC classification that you have discovered. The hyperlink to a CPC classification definition will be available when the classification you have selected has a blue box that includes “D” on the left. CPC classification definitions can help you determine the applicable classification’s boundaries so that you can choose the most relevant. Furthermore the definitions may include search tips and other suggestions which could be helpful to further study.

4. The Patents Full-Text Database and the Image Database allow you to search for patent documents that have the CPC classification. You can search and find the relevant patent publications by first focusing on abstract and drawings representative of.

5. Take advantage of this list of most relevant patent publications to look at each one thoroughly for the similarities to your own invention. Be sure to read the specifications and claims. Contact the applicant as well as the patent examiner to obtain additional patents.

6. Search for patent applications that have been published using the CPC classification you chose in Step 3 in the Applications Full-Text and Image Database. The same method of searching can be employed as step 4. You can narrow your search results to find the most relevant patent applications by reading the abstracts and representative drawings on each page. After that, take a close look at the published patent applications, paying particular attention to the claims and the additional drawings.

7. You can find other US patent publications by keyword searching in the AppFT and PatFT databases, and also classification searching of patents not issued in the United States as per below. Also, you can utilize web search engines to search for non-patent-related documents that describe inventions in the literature. For instance:

  • 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.
