Why Patent Your Idea?
1- If the idea as a product is making money and you feel it will continue, patent it.
2- Do it before the Provisional expires.
3- Maybe the idea is a bit different than your first Provisional covered.
4- Why not another for twelve months of
coverage!
5- However, a good attorney will give you your answer.
6- The answer naturally will slant to the “do it” side if not move directly to it.
7- In short, the answer will be “Product Idea Security.”
8- As a Intellectual Property layman, I’ll drop a few lines relative to patents. If you decide to give the subject due diligence, the minimum is sitting at your computer for an hour reading the same thing over and over again.
9- Most proponents of patent investing suggest four reasons.
1a - The invention must work and is not theory.
2b - How to make it and how to use it must be clear.
3c – The invention is non-obvious.
4d – It is new or novel, not done before.
10- Nothing as simple as this should not become complicated if ever debated.
11-If that was true, we wouldn’t need patent attorneys to do what they do, naturally something they must do to assure us no one will cut in line when we decide to run with our product ideas.
12- I can’t imagine a patent attorney moving ahead without some kind of “idea model” on his desk instead of fictionized in his (or her) mind.
13- Yes, we should be able to demonstrate the intricacies of our product ideas.
14-He needs to touch the idea with his hands to create its identity with published words.
15- How to make it, or even make one, must be obvious. Should we show that it is manufacturable?
16- I would say the answer is “yes” since it’s almost true that anyone can make one of something work.
17- Many unique ideas for products are so simple, they are considered obvious.
18- They may be obvious because of all the work that went into them before presenting them.
19-We need to show the idea wasn’t waiting on your front seat when you got into your car for your commute to work. (It’s not up to you or I to say what is or isn’t obvious.
20- It’s one of the many reasons why a typical patent will run eight grand or so.)
What is new and novel is straight forward if all our homework is done.
21- Whether it’s been patented in the past is up to us to know.
22- If we don’t conduct a patent search, he will, at more cost than you realize.
23- He would look rather foolish writing a patent for something patented in the past.
24- Maybe the idea exists with a lone-time product that was never patented.
25- IF your idea exists as a product, you can find it on the internet.
26- Everything presently being manufactured can be found on Amazon.
27- Products of the past might be found on eBay.
28- Then there’s the patent achieves, a website your patent attorney can use, and you might learn to use as well.
