What is a patent?
A patent is granted by the government in order to protect an invention. It gives the inventor the sole right to create, use and market the idea. Society gains when new technology is introduced for sale. These benefits may be realized immediately by people who are able to accomplish feats previously unattainable, or indirectly through the opportunities for economic growth which innovation can bring (business growth, jobs).
Many pharmaceutical companies and researchers at universities seek patent protection to protect their research and development. A patent can cover the physical or abstract nature of a product or process, or a method or composition of materials that are new to the field. In order to be granted protection under a patent the invention must be valuable or novel, as well as not obvious to other people within the same subject.
Patents are a way to give inventors a reward for commercially successful inventions. They act as a motivator for inventors to invent. Patents allow inventors and small companies to be confident that there’s an excellent chance that they will get a profit for their time, effort and investment in the development of technology. This means they will be able to earn money from their work.
Patents play a vital role in companies, and they can:
Create and protect innovative products and services;
Improve the visibility and the value of your product’s presence on the market
Make your brand stand out from the rest.
Find out about business and technical information.
Avoid accidentally using content from third parties or losing important information, innovative outputs or any other outputs that are creative.
Patents transform inventors’ knowledge into a commercially tradeable asset which opens new opportunities for job creation and expansion of businesses through licensing or joint ventures.
Investors in the commercialization and development of technology may find small businesses with patent protection to be more attractive.
Patents can result in innovative ideas and inventions. These information may be eligible for patent protection.
Patents can be used to serve as an effective deterrent for untrustworthy third parties that profit from an invention’s successes.
Patent-protected technology revenue that is commercially viable can be used for financing technological research and development (R&D), which increases the likelihood of better technology in future.
Intellectual property ownership can be used to convince lenders and investors that there are real opportunities to commercialize your product. One powerful patent may lead to multiple financing opportunities. You can use patents and other IP assets as collateral or security to secure financing. Investors can also see your patent assets to increase company valuation. Forbes and others have noted that each patent can increase anywhere from $500,000 to million dollars to your company’s valuation.
Start-ups require a well-constructed business plan that builds on the IP to demonstrate that your product/service is unique, superior, or innovative. Investors will be impressed if you have IP rights are secure or in the process to being secured, and that they are in line with your business plan.
It is vital to protect an invention before applying for patent protection. It is essential to keep the invention private before making a patent application. The public disclosure of an invention can compromise the originality of an invention and make it inepatentable. Thus, disclosures that are filed prior to filing (e.g., for test-marketing, investors, or other business partners) should only be made after signing a confidentiality agreement.
There are many kinds of patents. Understanding them is essential to protecting your invention. Patents for utility are used to protect inventions and processes that are new. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Utility patents are the most beneficial since they protect the owner from copycats as well as other competition. They are typically granted to improve or alter existing inventions. Patents issued under utility can be used to improve or modify existing inventions. For instance, a process patent covers acts or methods of performing one specific thing, whereas chemical compositions are a mixture of ingredients.
What is the average length of a patent? Utility patents are valid for 20 years from the initial date of filing, however their expiration dates can be extended due to delays in the patent office, for example.

How to Search for Patents
The first step to get your patent is to conduct a patent search. You can do a google patent search or do a USPTO search. Patent-pending is the name used to describe the product included in the patent application. It is possible to search the public pair to find the patent application. When the patent office has endorsed the patent application, you can perform a patent search to find the issued patent, and your product will now be patented. You can also utilize the USPTO search engine. Check out the following article for more information. For assistance, consult an attorney for patents. In the US, patents are granted by the US trademark and patent office or by the United States patent and trademark office, which also examines trademark applications.
Interested in finding more similar patents? These are the steps to follow:
1. Brainstorm terms that describe your invention based on the purpose, composition and application.
Write down a concise and precise explanation of your invention. Don’t use generic terms like “device”, “process” or “system”. Instead, think about synonyms for the terms you initially chose. Next, note important technical terms as well as keywords.
Use the questions below to help you find key words or concepts.
- What is the objective of the invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
- Is invention a way to come up with something or to perform a function? Or is it a thing or process?
- What is the composition of the invention? What is the physical makeup of the invention?
- What’s the purpose of this invention?
- What are technical terms and keywords that describe the characteristics of an invention? A technical dictionary will help you identify the correct words.
2. Use these terms to find pertinent Cooperative Patent Classifications for your invention at the Classification Text Search Tool. If you’re unable to find the right classification for your invention, scan through the classification’s Schemas of classes (class schedules). You may want to consider substituting the terms you’re using to describe your invention if you do not get any results from your Classification Text Search with synonyms such as the terms you used in step 1.
3. Check 3. Check the CPC Classification Definition for confirmation of the CPC classification you have found. If the classification you have selected is a blue square with “D” and “D”, then the hyperlink to the CPC classification definition will be displayed. CPC classification definitions can help identify the specific classification’s scope and therefore you’re certain to choose the one that is appropriate. Additionally the definitions may include research tips and other suggestions that may be useful for further research.
4. Find patent documents that have the CPC classification from the Patents Full-Text and Image Database. By focusing on the abstracts and drawings that are representative, you can narrow down your search to find the most relevant patent publications.
5. Utilize this list of most relevant patent publications to examine each in detail for similarities to your own invention. Take note of the specifications and claims. You may find additional patents by consulting the patent examiner and applicant.
6. Retrieve published patent applications with the CPC classification you picked in Step 3 from the Applications Full-Text and Image Database. You can use the same search strategy as in Step 4. You can narrow your search results down to the most pertinent patent application through the abstract as well as the drawings on each page. After that, you must review every patent application that has been published with care and pay particular attention to the claims, and other drawings.
7. You can search for other US patent publications using keyword searching in AppFT or PatFT databases, and also search for patents classified as that aren’t from the United States as according to below. Additionally, you can utilize web search engines to find non-patent patent disclosures in literature 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.
