The user can enter sensitive user data via a data entry program and save the data to an encrypted archive to be later retrieved or used. In order to maintain security of the sensitive user’s information in a typical application that uses sensitive user data, it is sent from a data entry system to the secure data archive over an encrypted connection, for example, an TLS connection. Secure data archives secure sensitive user data and store it in its memory. Secure data archives respond to data exit entities by decrypting sensitive user data. It then sends the decrypted user data to the data exit system via a secure connection like TLS.

The sensitive information of the user in cleartext is visible at the beginning of the secure connection, when sensitive user information is sent to the secure archive through the secure link. This is a security flaw in this method of storage and retrieval. In the same way, sensitive cleartext user data is displayed at the end of the secure connection as the sensitive user’s information is sent to the data exit system over the secure connection. Another issue is the fact that the same entity (e.g.,the secure data archive) secures the sensitive user data and keeps the sensitive user’s data. If an unauthorized person violates the secure data archive they could gain access to the encrypted keys inside the securedataarchive to decrypt sensitive data of users. Another issue is that the administrators of the securedata archive might not be able to access sensitive user data.

What is a patent?

A patent is granted by the government to safeguard the invention. The patent grants the inventor the sole right to develop, utilize and market the idea. Society gains when technology that is new is brought to the market. These benefits could be realized immediately 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 growth, employment).

Many drug firms and university researchers are seeking patent protection for their work and research. Patents can be granted for the creation of a product, process or method of making new materials. Patent protection is granted to an invention that is useful or novel and is not yet known by other people in the same area.

Patents reward inventors who have commercially viable inventions. They provide a reason for inventors to come up with new ideas. Patents enable entrepreneurs and inventors to know that there is the possibility that they’ll get a profit for their time, effort and investment in technology development. They can earn money from their work.

Businesses with the ability to:

Secure new products and services that are innovative;

Enhance the visibility and worth of your products on market

Differentiate your business and products from the rest;

Access technical and business knowledge and information;

Be careful not to accidentally use third-party content or risk losing valuable information, creative outputs, and other outputs.

Patents effectively transform the inventor’s knowledge into a marketable asset, which creates new opportunities for job creation and business growth through joint ventures or licensing.

Investors involved in the commercialization and development of technology may find small companies with patent protection more appealing.

Patenting can lead to new ideas and inventions. This information could encourage the development of new ideas and may be eligible to be protected by patents.

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

Revenues from patent-protected technology that are commercially successful 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 future.

You can use the intellectual property rights of your company to convince lenders and investors that your product has real commercial potential. One powerful patent may open the door for numerous financing options. Patents can be used along with other IP assets as collateral or security to secure financing. Investors are also able to view the patents you own to boost the value of their company. Forbes and others have pointed out that each patent could increase the value of a company by anything from $500,000 to $1 Million.

A well-designed business plan is vital for new businesses. It must be based on IP and demonstrate how your product/service stands out. Investors will be amazed if your IP rights are secure or in the process to being secure, and if they are in line with your business plan.

It is crucial to keep your invention secret until you submit for patent protection. Making an invention public before it is filed could often erode its originality and make it ineligible for patent protection. Thus, disclosures that are filed prior to filing (e.g., for test-marketing investors, test-marketing, or any other business partners) should only be made upon signing a confidentiality contract.

There are a variety of patents and knowing them is essential to protecting your invention. Utility patents are for the development of new methods and machines. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Utility patents are the most effective and shield the owner from copycats and other competitors. Frequently they are granted to improve or modify existing inventions. Utility patents also cover improvements and changes to existing inventions. For instance, a process patent will be able to cover actions or methods of performing one specific thing, whereas chemical compositions are the combination of components.

How long does a patent last? Utility patents last 20 years after the earliest filing date, however, their expirations can be extended because of delays in the patent office such as.

A patent search is essential when you are drafting an application for patent. This allows you to discover different ideas and give you insights into the potential of them. This will allow you to limit the extent of your idea. You can also discover the current state of the art within your field of invention. You’ll have a better idea of what your invention ought to be and be better prepared to write the patent application.

How to Search for Patents

The first step in obtaining your patent is to perform an internet search for patents. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Once the patent application is filed, the item subject to the patent can be referred to as patent-pending and you can find the patent application on public pair. Once the patent office has approved your application, you will be able to do an online search for a patent number and locate the patent issued. Your product now has the potential to be patentable. You can also use the USPTO search engine. Check out the following article for more information. A patent lawyer or attorney can assist you with the procedure. Patents granted 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 finding other similar patents? These are the steps:

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

Write down a concise detailed description of your invention. Do not use generic terms such as “device”, “process”, and “system”. Consider synonyms for the terms you initially chose. Also, keep track of significant technical terms and keywords.

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

• What’s the purpose of this invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
• Is the invention a method of creating something or performing some function? Or is it a thing or procedure?
• What is the composition of the invention? What is the physical constitution?
• What is the purpose of the invention?
• What are the technical words and terms that define the nature of an invention? A technical dictionary can assist you to locate the right phrases.

2. These terms will allow you to look up relevant Cooperative Patent Classifications using the Classification Search Tool. If you’re not able to find the correct classification for your invention, look through the classification’s Schemas of classes (class schedules) and then try again. Consider substituting the words that you’re using to describe your invention if you fail to receive any results from the Classification Text Search with synonyms such as the terms you used in Step 1.

3. Go through the CPC Classification Definition to confirm the relevancy of the CPC classification that you have located. If the selected classification title includes a blue square with an “D” at its left, clicking on the link will direct you to the CPC classification definition. CPC classification definitions can assist you in determining the classification’s scope so that you can pick the one that is the most relevant. These definitions may also include search tips or other suggestions that can 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. You can search and select the most relevant patent publications by focusing first on the abstract and drawings representative of.

5. Utilize this list of most relevant patent publications to study each one in depth for any similarity to your idea. Pay close attention to the specifications and claims. You may find additional patents by referring to the patent examiner and the applicant.

6. You can find published patent applications that match the CPC classification you selected in Step 3. You can also use the same method of search that you used in step 4 to limit down your search results to the most relevant patent applications by reviewing the abstracts and representative drawings on each page. Next, carefully examine the patent applications that have been published, paying particular attention to the claims and additional drawings.

7. Locate additional US patents by keyword searching in PatFT or AppFT databases, classification searching of non-U.S. patents using the below, and searching for non-patent publications of inventions with web search engines. 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:
• 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.
