Business management strategy is a vital part of the planning you need to make sure that your business can cope with the workload or today, and progress and improve in the coming years. In business, nothing ever stands still, and there is a constant need to keep up with new trends and changing circumstances. When planning your strategy, it is important to realize that there will always be two forces pulling in opposite directions. On the one hand, there will always be those within the company who just want to keep things as they are, because they are comfortable.

On the other hand, there is always the need for the company to adjust to prevailing market trends, and to plan for a future which may be uncertain. So much of producing an effective business strategy depends on being able to predict with some degree of accuracy the possible market trends of the future. Even in industries which involve high technology, where change can be sudden and dramatic, it is still usually possible to predict ongoing trends with considerable accuracy.

Business management strategies have traditionally been kept in the boardroom and circulated at management level. Now, we are seeing a trend towards sharing the business strategy with other people in the organization, and that can only be a positive move as you can read from this Michael Valentin Information article. The more an employee can be made to feel like a part of the organization, the more that employee will respond and deliver their best work. Never overlook the fact that many good suggestions which have changed the course of a company’s fortunes started out from the shop floor.

If you are involved in the management of a small business, you may want to try the following exercise. Get a fairly large piece of paper. Write at the top of the paper the position that the business is in now. Write at the very bottom of the page the position to which you would like the business to grow. Although this type of exercise is often carried out using five year plans, you can use any timescale which suits you. What you need to do now is add the steps which can take the business from one place to the other, with as little risk as possible.

Of course, now that we have modern technology, this exercise can be carried out even more effectively using a word processor document, or even a text editor. With this software, you can make as many edits to the content as you like, and you can increase or decrease the size of the gap between one end of the document and the other. If this exercise is carried out in a group so you can get contributions from as many people as possible, it is likely to lead to some stimulating discussions. This can give you everything you need to formulate your business management strategy.

If you have music, inventions, writings, artistic works, designs, etc., that you feel the need to protect, consider hiring an intellectual property attorney. If you possess something you feel is valuable, you should protect it. Intellectual property is very easy for other people to steal if not properly secured. Because intellectual property theft is such a problem, it’s common to turn to an intellectual property attorney to help ensure your property stays yours.

The role of your intellectual property attorney is to help with things such as copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, industrial design rights, and more. With his or her help, you can be confident in knowing no one can profit from your work unless you are compensated as well.

Intellectual property attorneys are fluent in IP law so they’re the perfect people to turn to when you need advice. Since you are paying them for their time, they’re usually more than happy to let you ask any questions you may have about protecting your intellectual property (IP) as discussed on https://easyreadernews.com/why-inventhelp-has-become-so-crucial-for-new-inventors/.

For example, if you need to have something trademarked, you can go to your attorney and ask him where to start. He or she should be able to give you systematic instructions on how to get your trademark. The same goes for a patent. The attorney should be able to pass you on to a patent assistance service and help with the application process. In many cases, the attorney will do the bulk of the work on your behalf.

Not only will the intellectual property attorney do the job of getting the momentum started, he or she will also be there to help you should any potential challenges come up. It is common for patents or trademarks to be tested or broken by competitors, and in those instances, it is good to have an attorney on retainer who can settle the situation before it gets out of hand.

With an intellectual property attorney on your side, you can rest assured that you have someone working with you who is not only knowledgeable, but also has years of experience behind every informed decision.

Before you choose an attorney to help you with your intellectual property needs, it is important that you select one that you are comfortable around. You sure don’t have to pick the first one in the phone book. In fact, don’t! Check around the area and ask for references from the company to see how good they are. You can learn a lot from customer feedback, so do not brush it off as you can see from https://thriveglobal.com/stories/a-discussion-about-inventhelp-and-helping-people-achieve-their-goals/.

Once you’ve found an intellectual property attorney who you can work with, you can begin making some real moves! With your efforts fully protected, you are free to put your work out there for people to enjoy.

In 2008, the Californian based Tesla Motors car company first started production with their version of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports car. The company was founded by PayPal executive Elon Musk. Not only was the founder and CEO but he had an instrumental hand at the overall design and build of the first, somewhat crude, Tesla Roadster as you can see from this https://www.newsbreak.com/news/1606220763464/how-new-inventors-are-benefitting-from-inventhelp-assistance post.

The first edition Roadster was the first highway capable electric car produced in mass production and was designed by Lotus Elise which gave the car an additional added bonus of being a fun, stylish , sophisticated and not to mention a considerably quicker car. The Roadster had a base price of $109,000 thus making it out of reach for the majority of consumers. Although the demand for this car was high Musk knew he had to make an electric car that was sustainably lower in price.

When Tesla ended production of the Roadster they introduced the more economical and highly anticipated Model S sedan. Because of the success of the Roadster Musk took a leap of faith and purchased a factory to build their upcoming new Model S luxury sedan in Freemont, California.

The Model S not only helped to bring the mostly American made electric car to the public but the appeal of a BEV around $59,000 made it a hot ticket item in the United States and at one time there was a wait list to purchase this amazing automobile. This more mainstream version of an electric car is a move that could transform the boutique California firm into a mainstream automaker.

Originally there was a wait list to purchase the car and to test drive the car one needed to put down a $500 deposit! The public hype and the deposit added to the excitement of owning an environmentally friendly, electronic and not to mention a fast dynamic looking automobile.

Tesla may not have 25 or even 50 years of branding history behind it like many automakers but what it lacks in history it makes up with its dedicated ambition to create the first accessibly priced electric car–something that many larger automakers that have jumped into the electric car market lack as stated on http://theavtimes.com/2020/07/01/amazing-ways-inventhelp-can-assist-you-as-an-inventor/.

The future looks bright for this relatively new comer not only to the electric car market but the luxury car market as well.

Elon founded, in 2002, SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies) the only company which comes to compete with nations in the conquest of space.

Convinced that man must become a multiplanet species to survive, the goal is clear: to build more affordable rockets that will make possible more regular launches and one day the colonization of Mars. Elon personally invests over $ 100 million in it and learns almost everything there is to know from manuals and interviewing the specialist engineers he hires on the project.

SpaceX begins work on the first launcher dubbed Falcon 1 . Between 2006 and 2008, the first three flights were failures and the future of the project was in jeopardy. Elon who has invested all his money there no longer has the resources to finance a fourth launch.

SpaceX Rocket Launching

But giving up was never Elon’s credo and he succeeded in convincing investors to finance the fourth and final attempt to launch Falcon 1 as described on https://www.hometownstation.com/santa-clarita-news/use-inventhelp-to-kick-start-your-career-as-an-inventor-today-335441.

On September 28, 2008, Falcon 1 finally reached the atomosphere and successfully launched into orbit. of a satellite. The NASA , impressed, signed a contract with SpaceX amounting to $ 1.6 billion. Once again, the unwavering determination of Elon and his collaborators at SpaceX paid off as stated on https://usa.inquirer.net/56347/everything-you-need-to-know-to-be-a-successful-inventor.

In 2011, SpaceX developed the Dragon spacecraft , developed for NASA, with the aim of supplying the International Space Station, which can carry up to 7 astronauts.

SpaceX Dragon Capsule

To reduce the costs of its rockets, Elon is building reusable rockets that could take off and land on their ground launch pad. The company then built a barge to allow launchers to land safely at sea.

After several failures, SpaceX achieved the feat of landing its Falcon 9 rocket first by landings then on its barge in the open sea and in 2015 on land and firm, and in 2016 to reuse part of the rocket.

Knowing when to contact Patent Attorney is very important to the individual or company and not everyone should apply for a patent. Many patent applications require a great deal of detail about the invention itself. A simple google search of a patent application reveals the intricacies of the application.

Of course, one should do a lot of independent research prior to contacting a patent attorney to ensure that no one else has patented your idea. Many helpful websites provide searchable online databases for existing and pending patent applications.

Searches that are conducted more professionally will cost the individual more. By searching for one’s own invention, the inventor introduces him or herself to the complexities of patent searching and the individual may gain a sense of inclusion if he or she understands some of the responsibilities of the attorney as explained on https://vocal.media/journal/innovating-as-a-small-business.

If the individual fails to find anything similar and is convinced of its uniqueness and originality, it is well-advised to seek Patent Attorney at that time.

Patent Attorney is a specialized agent with a particular set of skills and qualifications, allow him/her to represent clients seeking to obtain patents and acting on their behalves in various matters and procedures relevant to patent law and practice.

These types of attorneys are often trained in various matters dealing with intellectual property rights. This type of attorney evaluates whether inventions are “new and innovative” and therefore qualify to be patented. Not only do patent attorneys rely on different disciplinary expertise to guide their intuitions, they also direct individuals and companies toward the most ideal process for obtaining a patent as described on https://midhudsonnews.com/2020/05/10/how-does-inventhelp-support-new-inventors/.

Once obtained, these patents are granted by the government to the individual or the company and provide the inventor sole rights and protection of their invention for up to 20 years.

Patents provide you with some degree of protection, but simply holding a patent does not completely protect your invention or your investment.

Patents do not protect ideas, but rather structures and methods that apply technological concepts of their ideas. In order to receive potential patent protection, the inventor must surrender the confidentiality of their invention and fully disclose the invention to the public as explained in details on https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/InventHelp-Reviews-E152162.htm.

It is up to you as a patent holder (not the USPTO) to regularly check patent approvals by the USPTO for references or citations made to your patent. When someone cites your patent, that could mean possible infringement against your patent and a potential great financial loss to you. Patent owners with issued patents in your technology area could also be licensing candidates.

You could spend countless hours trying to personally research citing on your patent, or hire a specialized expensive attorney to conduct the searches, or let InventHelp provide you a fast, detailed report at a very affordable price as seen on https://blogs.cornell.edu/react/inventhelp-taking-inventions-from-paper-to-the-global-marketplace-hinges-on-usp/.

There are three basic statutory “patentability” requirements. To be patentable, an invention must have utility, novelty and nonobviousness.

Subject Matter and Utility

The invention must fall within at least one of the four classes of statutory subject matter. Traditionally, the requirement for utility is an easy burden for an applicant to show in an application. However, the issue has been given careful attention by the US Patent and Trademark Office in regards to certain technologies, including the biotechnology field. The utility needs to be credible, specific and substantial under the USPTO guidelines.

Novelty

The law has several requirements regarding novelty. You must be the first to invent your invention (in the U.S.). The invention cannot have been patented or described in a printed publication prior to your date of invention. It cannot have been described in a printed publication anywhere more than one year prior to the filing date of the application and cannot have been in public use or on sale in the U.S. more than one year prior to the filing date of the patent application as seen on https://kulturehub.com/inventhelp-support-inventors/.

An inventor is advised to preserve novelty by filing the U.S. application less than one year prior to any publication, or sales activity. If there is a possibility of filing foreign patents, then the application needs to be filed prior to publication or sale. An inventor is advised to have written evidence of the date of invention, such as writing in a laboratory notebook that is witnessed by an individual that signs and dates the paper.

The USPTO has a disclosure document procedure, in which for $10, the acceptance and preservation for two years of “Disclosure Documents” is evidence of the date of conception of an invention. However, no patent protection is obtained through this Disclosure Document procedure.

Nonobviousness

This is perhaps the most nebulous concept to grasp in regards to patentability. Obviousness rejections are common during patent; however, because such rejections are somewhat subjective, they can often be overcome through persuasive argument. Secondary considerations of (1) commercial success; (2) long-felt need; and/or (3) commercial acquiescence can factor into such arguments.

Typically, the patent examiner will state that the invention is obvious based upon a combination of two or more publications, each of which discloses some aspect of the invention. Applicants may argue that there is a lack of motivation to combine the references or narrow the scope of the claimed invention. You can find much more information about patenting from this profile – https://twitter.com/inventhelp.

The definition of a design can be as follows: the characteristics, ornamental or visual, manifested in a manufactured item. The design of the surface visual aspects cannot be separated from the item it has been applied to. It cannot exist by itself. It has to be a specific pattern of ornamentation on the surface of some sort of manufactured thing. The United States Patent and Trademark Office, commonly shortened to USPTO, or simply, Patent Office, looks at applications for patents and grants them depending on entitlement, Patent law allows any person to receive a design patent for an original design for a manufactured item. This type of patent is meant to protect the article’s appearance only, not its utilitarian or structural features.

The Various Kinds of Designs and Modified Forms

Ornamental design can include an entire item or only a portion of one. It can also be the particular ornamentation of an article. It’s possible to make only a single claim on a design patent. Distinct and independent designs have to be submitted in separate application for design patents. They cannot both be supported by the same claim. Designs are seen as independent if no relationship can be discerned between at least two articles. The distinctiveness of designs is defined by appearance and shape, that is, it is possible for two items to be related things. At the same time, it is possible to file an application for modified forms of the same design at the same time as seen on https://www.techtimes.com/articles/249715/20200518/how-inventhelp-gets-new-inventors-onto-the-right-path.htm.

Design Patents and Utility Patents: The Difference A design patent is intended to protect the appearance of an item, while utility patents are supposed to protect the way in which an item is used. Both design and utility patents can be obtained for an item if there is a combination of inventions involved, both utility and ornamental. It becomes complicated, however, because it is not always so easy to separate the two as was explained on https://www.valuewalk.com/2020/05/medical-invention-covid-19/. Many manufactured items have ornamental and functional characteristics.

The Design Patent Application A typical design patent application would include the following things:

•  A preamble, mentioning the applicant’s name, a title for the particular design, and also a short description of the item and what it is supposed to be used for;
• Unless included on the application sheet, it should be cross-referenced with any related applications;
• If research and development that has been federally sponsored, this should be stated;
• An explanation of the drawing’s figures;
• Description of features;
• One claim;
• Photographs or drawings;
• An executed declaration or oath.

One mistake that many inventors make is working through the patent process on their own. This usually happens after they have talked with any number of patent attorneys or patent agents and have found that the cost of patents can be quite high in this regard.

Yet, what you need to realize is that patenting your invention yourself can be difficult to do, not to mention time consuming. Making small mistakes really does make a sizable problem at the end of the day and this could cost you your invention.

The law says that you can patent yourself. Patent law has never required having a patent attorney do the work for you, file the patent for you or handle any area of the process. What is important is to know that law very well. Patent laws are very strict and the requirements can be considered quite harsh as seen on this channel – https://www.youtube.com/user/inventhelp.

The process is necessary to insure that any patent is authentic and verified. In other words, you will get more out of the patent if you hire a professional to help you with it. For many who do file themselves, the result is a piece of paper that has very little worth to it.

According to reports, the process of filing a permanent patent application in the state of Pro Per is quite difficult and limiting. Pro Per is a term used to describe filing the patent on your own, without the help of a professional patent attorney or patent agent as explained on https://www.tmcnet.com/topics/articles/2020/03/24/444881-everything-need-know-inventhelp.htm.

The success rate for those individuals who go this route is just 1 percent. One percent of individuals who file as pro per will actually obtain the patent they need to protect their investment.

There is no such thing as an international patent application. However, it is possible to file a Paris Convention priority application in other countries within 1 year from the filing date in the U.S. Additionally, a patent application can be filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) within 1 year from the filing date in the U.S.

Both a Paris Convention priority application and a PCT patent application can claim the benefit of the filing date in the U.S. This is called a “priority date,” and if your foreign patent is later granted, the earlier filing date in the U.S. will be used to determine when your exclusive patent rights begin as described in https://www.jpost.com/Special-Content/Get-Your-Invention-Off-the-Ground-with-the-Support-of-InventHelp-624132 article.

A Paris Convention priority patent application is filed directly in foreign countries, and is immediately examined by the national patent office. A PCT patent application is delayed for some time in an international examination process. You can later enter into many countries for a lower price.

Most law firms charge an hourly rate for preparing a PCT application (plus a variable USPTO filing fee) from a complete utility patent application- the price depends upon the length and complexity of the original application. The cost of filing a PCT patent application from a provisional application will vary depending upon the extent of the provisional patent application as seen in https://spacecoastdaily.com/2020/03/inventhelp-the-way-forward-for-new-inventors/ post.

Establish your “First to Invent” Date

Filing a patent application for an invention idea is an essential step to protecting your intellectual property rights to your invention idea. Working with a professional patenting agency like InventHelp, to properly file your patent application can give you the power to prevent others from making or selling your invention idea.

The patent application needs to be filed with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office). While it is true that you can file the patent application on your own, we would not recommend this option.

This route should especially be avoided by an individual with no IP experience. It’s not for the feint at heart. A patent application is a very important document and the patent application process is a slow process.

What is a Patent Application?

A Patent Application is the initial version of an invention which is submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The Patent Application consists of all the information which will eventually become a full United States Patent after being reviewed by the USPTO as you can read from https://blog.chron.com/frugalconfessions/2020/03/how-much-can-you-make-from-patenting-your-idea/.

The Application consists of several parts which describe the invention in full. The first part of the Application is the Abstract, which briefly describes the parts and purposes of the invention and some other basic information.

There are many inventors out there that are coming up with new ideas all the time. Many of the things that we know and use today all started with an idea. In order to understand what patent figures, one needs to understand what it means to patent an idea. If you should have an idea to invent something that the world has never seen, whether it be a household item, a car design idea or even heavy machinery, one needs to make sure that your idea is patented, meaning that the idea becomes solely yours and nobody can use this idea.

There are different steps that need to be taken when you want to patent an idea and the first step is to drought or have a professional drought an illustration of your idea. This illustration is known as a patent figure. A patent figure is an extremely detailed drawing from all different angles that illustrates your design or idea. There are however strict rules attached to these drawings in order for them to qualify as a patent figure and for them to be excepted by a patent office as you can read from https://inspirationfeed.com/inventhelp/.

Patent figures or drawings are not allowed to display any color unless you specific figure or drawing absolutely needs color. These patent figures or drawing are only allowed to be in black ink on white paper. Photographs are most definitely allowed to be used as illustrations. If a photograph is the only way that you patent idea can be put forward then you will be allowed to submit a photograph accompanied by a proper patent figure or drawing. Patent drawings or figures have to be clearly labelled according to the standards that have been set.

These patent figures need to display the uniqueness of your patent idea as well as the materials that you will use in your creation. The examiner has the final say whether he or she will grant you a patent idea. Patenting an idea is a long process and therefore copies are also made of these patent figures as explained on https://southfloridareporter.com/how-inventhelp-can-assist-with-new-invention-ideas/. It is therefore pertinent that one makes sure that your patent figure is clear and readable as well be able to print or copy well.

The patent protection on an invention is obtained by preparing and filing an application with the Patent Office (PTO). Under the current law, a regular (non-provisional) or provisional application can be filed.

A regular application includes specification and claims. The specification comprises a detailed disclosure of the invention idea, including drawings illustrating the invention, a teaching of how to make and use the invention, and “best mode” for carrying out the invention. A regular application is examined by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for issuance of a patent.

A provisional application includes specification, is kept pending for only 1-year, and –

• must be converted to a regular application before the end of the 1-year period
• is not examined and does not result into a patent
• cannot be filed for design inventions
• but allows “Patent Pending” status, during its pendency

Once determined to be complete by the PTO, a regular patent application is assigned to an Examiner who reviews the application for compliance under the law. The Examiner conducts a search of prior art to determine whether or not a patent should be granted on one or more claims. The search locates already-issued U.S. or foreign patents, foreign patent publications, literature articles, scientific publications, statutory invention registrations, defensive publications, etc.

The Examiner reviews the uncovered prior art to determine the aspects of claimed invention already in public domain and determines patentability of the invention under the law as described in https://www.econotimes.com/How-You-Can-Benefit-from-Turning-to-the-InventHelp-Experts-1577312 article.

Gold IRA investing is one of the smartest choices you can make to protect your future and guarantee that your investments flourish into long term security for you and your family.

Especially in these recent years, precious metals are a great option for investing for a number of reasons.

If you want to grow your retirement fund, then adding gold to your IRA is not very difficult at all and also will help guarantee that you aren’t left in trouble when you want to retire and find that your other investments haven’t done well.

One reason that gold IRA investing is such a good decision is that your gold can never disappear.

With how tough times have been and how many people have been finding their investments disappearing into thin air, having a solid source of income when you get older is really important.

With gold, even if fiat money sees huge drops in value, you will still have a valuable resource.

Gold isn’t some intangible monetary unit that can just go away.

Another reason for choosing gold IRA investing is that it’s really easy to do.

A lot of people may hesitate because they don’t know how to turn their traditional or Roth IRA into an IRA that is backed by gold.

With a little help from an investment company, such as Regal Assets, and some looking into the terms and conditions of your current IRA, you can roll them over into a gold IRA and start enjoying real security.

The third compelling reason for you to go with gold IRA investing is that, as time goes on, more people are going to want to invest in it.

This is important because it increases demand which increases the value of your own investments.

That’s why getting in early is a good idea.

Trying to plan for your future can be difficult and intimidating.

If you aren’t sure what to do, going with gold IRA investing is fairly safe and can give you great returns and also provides the security that you want above all.

Many people are often confused with comparing two of the most commonly referred to types of intellectual property, patents and copyrights.

In dealing with the subject matter of both patents and copyrights, patents are defined as inventions involving any useful process including an abstract or non-mechanical process such as a computer software program. A copyrighted work refers to a written idea or work by an author. The written work can be a manuscript, instruction guide, sheet music, poetry, etc. that is in itself not a original concept.

A patent will not be issued if the invention idea or concept was “known to others” at least one year prior to the application date; or if it was previously “abandoned by the inventor”. A copyright on the other hand will be given only to an original work that was not copied from another source (i.e. plagiarism).

While it may take as long as 3 years for a patent to be granted, a copyright is almost instantaneous as long as a “tangible medium” is used to notify others of the author’s ownership. To be on the safe side, a written work can be registered through a governmental entity, although this registration is not required.

The length of protection of a patent and copyright is also much different. A patent is usually in force for a maximum period of 20 years, whereas a copyright can be in force for as long as 70 to 120 years after the author’s death.

Ownership rights for both patents and copyrights can be reassigned to others, such as employers (if the invention or written material was ordered by a person’s employer). In the case of a literary article or manuscript that was ordered written on a “work for hire” basis (by a “ghost writer”, etc.), the authorship will be assigned to the person or entity that ordered it to be completed. The same applies to buying and selling patents and copyrights as described on https://azbigmedia.com/business/why-new-inventors-turn-to-inventhelp-for-support/.

And while experimental used of a patented idea or concept is very limited; a copyrighted work can be reproduced or transferred to others, such a library or reference entity, if permission is granted by the author or his heirs.

If you want to protect your idea or product from intellectual property theft, you may also want to hire patent attorneys. Patenting an idea may require you to prepare necessary requirements as well as documentations that would significantly be bothersome for your business schedule.

Therefore, to save time and energy on preparing such business matters, it is more favorable to hire professionals that have experience in preparing paperwork related to patent law. Intellectual property lawyers in the US would gladly help you get the protection you need in no time.

When choosing reliable intellectual property lawyers in the US, the best way to select the best is to talk to them personally. You may want to arrange an appointment with these lawyers on your leisure time and ask them about your intellectual property concerns as explained in https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/inventhelp post.

Most of these lawyers would present some cases that they have previously handled. Meeting them personally would allow you to distinguish which of them have the expertise to deal with your intellectual property needs.

Asking for references can help you have an idea of the reputation that the intellectual property lawyer has. Most of these references can help you gather opinions about the legal services that these attorneys may offer.

You may want to ask about the quality of service that the lawyers provide and the results of the legal procedures. There is no better way to determine the efficiency of a lawyer than asking those who have already availed their services.

When finding the best intellectual property lawyers, you should also remember that not all of them have the same skills and expertise in handling cases. Moreover, these lawyers also differ on the fees that they charge for their services.

In order for you to get the most out of the budget you allot for the legal protection of your products or ideas, it is better to get multiple quotes from different legal firms and also from professional patenting companies, such as InventHelp. Having a number of choices would help you get the services you need for the least possible cost.

Internet is the most widely used threshold to find information as well as to surf for your needed articles and ideas. But just as it is easy relayed it is also easy to access and copied Intellectual property from various set of companies.

Intellectual property rights are a collection of restricted rights from the creations of the mind along with its copyrighted intellectual products. It is covered by copyright laws, which protect the holder to have an exclusive right to control reproduction of such works for a certain phase of time.

The fast growing advancement of technology has put complexity on preserving traditional intellectual property possessed by publishers and holders of copyrighted products. Just like giving protections to their creative works. A wide variety of information can easily be copied when made accessible on the internet on a low cost or even on free access and you can learn how and where from https://www.hngn.com/articles/227862/20200113/what-can-the-experts-at-inventhelp-do-for-you.htm.

Due to this, the publishers wanted to take action on the enforcement of intellectual property rights. They are proposing that those who are in the right position must put additional content or make new media and new forms of access for them to at least preserve a well-funded release of their works.

During the present time an increasingly rise on the use of internet has been widely seen. The internet pages hosts may published works that are easily accessed. The easy access in return has caused the rise of copying materials, music media, videos so as images and texts which cause intellectual property disturbance to publishers, in response more protected online intellectual property law enforcement has been in continued progress.

The argument for tight intellectual property protection is that it must exist to preserve the mere incentive for authors and inventors created from their original works.

Many proposed plans are continuously stated in progress in controlling the body of internet intellectual property. Protection of copyright, patent, trademarks and other concerns are well acted upon by the said body with the use of laws implemented for the better outcome.

The Internet in particular is a highly interactive environment that could either be beneficial for the publishers/ inventors or spare their works as you can read from https://millennialmagazine.com/2020/01/13/dont-give-up-on-your-invention-idea-turn-to-inventhelp/. So as it is very important to preserve rights of concerned people on these occurring events.

A patent is classified as being biological in nature when it relates to a discovery in the field of biology. This can include anything from stem cell research to genetics and even the study of elements found in the plant or animal kingdoms.

There has been a lot of controversy about biological patents in regards to how much they can assist in helping those with certain diseases. If a medication could help those with Parkinson’s Disease for example, it should be patented, but should it be tested first? In some countries, such as America, a product can only be patented once it has met with the approval of the Federal Drug Administration as written in https://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/43137/20200108/why-inventhelp-is-a-great-resource-for-new-inventors.htm. In other countries, anyone can patent an idea for a drug, and then only submit it for testing.

It is these laws that protect those who are involved in biological research and those who will benefit from that research. Because of the amount of companies currently involved in genetics research and the universities with students involved in research, it is vital that this scientific community is protected from copyright theft. This is why so many of them see fit to apply for patents.

These patents protect them from having their years of research stolen, as well as those who are funding the research from having their money going to waste when the research does not yield fruitful results. It is vital for those in the scientific community to be protected by patent law as they are doing work that may be valuable to the health of humankind in the long term.

If others are trying to steal and emulate that work, they could potentially do a lot of damage. It may be frightening to imagine what could happen if a terrorist group for example, was sold biological warfare research that had been stolen. Patent laws play their part in preventing this from happening. Learn more from https://www.latinpost.com/articles/143207/20200108/why-new-inventors-need-assistance-from-inventhelp.htm.

In the business world, it often takes a lot of time and money to build up a brand name to where it is recognizable, as well as, profitable. The same holds true whether the name belongs to a company, product or type of service. When it comes to protecting unique product inventions and the names that are associated with them, the inventor must take steps to file for legal protection with the appropriate government agency.

Now, when it comes to securing a patent for a unique product invention, you need to understand that a patent can only be filed for the actual product. In other words, you need to know how to patent a product. Patents do not protect a specific name for the invention. You will need to file for a unique trademark to protect a brand name. If that’s all you are looking for then you really have no use for information on how to patent a name.

What you really need to know is how to copyright a name and how to trademark a name. Fortunately, both a patent and a trademark application can be handled by the same U.S. agency. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is where you would go to take care of both of these tasks.

How To Patent A Name – Protect Your Brand

Having a cool and unique name for your new product will go a long way in making it how to patent a name memorable to the buying public. It takes a lot of creativity to come up with a unique name and this is why you want to have it legally protected from other competitors as explained in https://inspirationfeed.com/how-inventhelp-can-help-you-protect-your-invention/ article.

When a brand name isn’t protected, other people can invent similar products and simply stick your name onto it and steal all of those sales that rightfully belong to you. To avoid this unpleasant scenario, you can go to the USPTO and file for official trademark status. It is as close as you will get if you are looking for how to patent a name.

Keep in mind that generic terms that are commonly used cannot be trademarked. For instance, the word tissues cannot be trademarked, but BRAND NAME tissues can be. Now, what if your idea is a cool invention like the Pet Rock?

Can a rock be patented? No, a plain ole rock cannot be patented because there are a gazillion of them in the world. Okay, then how about the idea of the pet rock? Well, an idea can’t be patented either. Then how was the inventor of the original pet rock, Gary Dahl, able to make a million dollars off of his silly idea?

He came up with a unique way to patent the packaging of his idea of the pet rock. While anyone can grab a rock, paint it and call it a pet rock. Mr. Dahl is the one who thought of packaging rocks inside of a cardboard box with vented holes for the pet to breathe.

There was also some straw inside for the rock to sit on and an instruction manual that told the owner how to take care of their stony pet. The packaging is what is protected by copyright and a patent, so anyone who desires to sell the original pet rock exactly like Mr. Dahl, must pay him a licensing fee. The words “pet rock” by themselves were not original enough for Mr. Dahl to know how to patent a name.

How To Patent A Name – Be Original

Another way to come up with a unique name is to make a word up that doesn’t exist. I mean, what exactly is a Google? Why, it’s the trademarked name of a company you say. Yes, but before it was created, nobody else thought of this as having any kind of meaning. Now, it’s a name that’s recognized throughout the world.

If you have a brand worth protecting, a trademark is the way to go. You’ll only need to know how to patent a name if the brand is also a physical product as discussed in https://www.oddee.com/how-inventhelp-can-assist-new-inventors/.

Provisional patent application is developed to protect the idea of old invention from copying. Old invention here means the idea of a particular invention was developed long back but the actual product is not brought into force till date. Inventors apply for a provisional patent application when the invention has a huge commercial demand and also to avoid the risk of unauthorized use of the idea.

Create a drawing of your invention to polish the idea on the invention. Patent law requires patent drawings to understand the details of the invention, its purpose and usage. The invention drawing or the patent drawing must disclose the details of the invention features. The drawings must be filed along with the provisional patent filing as explained in https://www.techtimes.com/articles/246245/20191127/why-inventhelp-is-essential-for-entrepreneurs.htm. The drawing must be in the particular form and should follow the rules of patent drawings as defined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s.

A cover sheet is also required to at the time of submitting the provisional patent to the USPTO. The cover sheet must contain details like invention title, inventors/inventor names, addresses, contact and correspondence details, patent attorney details like name and registration numbers, and any member interested in the invention.

After completing the formalities of provisional patent filing, the effective filing date of the particular patent is established and is sealed with a mark called “patent pending”. This will last for a duration of one year from the date of provisional patent filing.

It is required to conduct investigations of the previous inventions. This is to make sure that the invention is purely true, and it does not have any relation with the previous inventions. After verification of the provisional patent application, the patent examiners will start with the “prior art” process.

This process is for finding any similarities or duplication of idea of any previous inventions. In case of similarities with earlier inventions, the examiner will not grant the provisional patent application. Therefore, it is necessary to hire a patenting agency, like InventHelp, and conduct a basic patent research to avoid wasting time and efforts in the filing process.

Filing and getting a patent cannot happen over a night. Getting a patent is a tedious task. It requires time and understanding of the patent to file and get the patent for the invention or a product. As explained, Paten is a legal document that protects the invention from unauthorized use. It takes time to fill the patent application form and processing the form to grant the patent.

One can apply for different types of patent. Patent can be applied for product, utility, and designs. Patent application is not a simple procedure. It is a complex legal document and should be prepared by a trained patent attorney. The basic instructions to be followed in getting a patent on a product are given below.

Visit websites of patent application guidelines. You can visit the site guide to product patent applications available on USPTO website. This site gives the detail procedures like patent meaning, patent types, fees structure, things to include in the application and drawing guidelines. It is good to take a print copy of the application process to get into details point by point as shown on https://www.ispot.tv/brands/dQR/inventhelp.

Get the details of the product patent fee structure in detail. The patent application process from the time of filing till the patent grant process requires fees. This payment is done on a slot basis. Certain fee structures are included in the processing of patent application. It is absolutely necessary to know the lump sum fess that will be required for getting the product patent.

Give detailed idea or description of the product invention. You should gather the required information expected by the patent office. To make sure that you have all the information in your patent application, it is necessary to include brief history of invention background, product invention benefits and purpose of inventing the product as explained in this article on https://www.tmcnet.com/topics/articles/2018/06/13/438460-how-inventhelp-change-business-destiny.htm.

This should be explained by using diagrams and drawings with descriptions. Try to explain the technical as well as non-technical applications of the product as simple as possible. You need to include whatever the product can do. It is also required to ensure that your product is an original one, not a duplicate.

Imagine, you have just invented something that will make life easier and simple, and you want to protect the invention from being copied or used by others without your consent. For this you need a patent to protect the invention.

Patent is a legal procedure of getting the right of manufacturing and selling the product to make money. At the same time, it also ensures that the invention is protected from misuse or copy of the idea under legal protection acts. But it requires time, effort, and of course, high fees to obtain a patent.

You might be thinking on ‘how to afford the fees to obtain a patent’? The cost of getting a patent has increased, and it’s really hard to meet the cost of patent fees. Getting a patent for free is not impossible, but it needs enough knowledge of patent and legal procedures of obtaining it as was described in this story on https://www.licensingexpo.com/vibe.

Here are the necessary procedures of obtaining a patent for free. You will find no patent attorney, court procedures, legal hearings and juries in the process. But you should ensure to follow the entire guidelines outline in the Patent and Trademark Office to obtain the patent for free.

Give detail description of the invention on a piece of paper. You need to get two to three persons for witness while documenting the invention. The document should detail all the invention features and its advantages.

Think on protectable invention. The process requires knowledge of patent legal procedures and common sense. In this step, it is required to set the new invention into a Patent and Trademark Office’s broad categories. The idea is to create the sense of feeling that the invention is unique and great.

Determine whether the invention is qualified enough to get a patent. It is required to research on the previous inventions and its associated developments. This requires searching a list of patent’s data and directories to find any related inventions. This is somewhat confusing, but can be mastered through constant practice.

After completing the patent search, it is necessary to answer whether the invention is something new and different from the previous invention or is your invention something really appreciable? It’s simple to prepare the answer by comparing the earlier invention with the existing one.

Now, you can start the drafting and filing process of Patent Application. Try to break the patent application document into different parts. Fine example is to give an overview of invention background, illustrate the invention with the use of flow charts and drawings, describe the aspects and structure of the invention.

The steps defined above do not require a patent attorney. You can request someone in the patent office to review your patent claims. This will be done definitely free at cost.

After completing the filing of patent, you should be ready to reply all the objections and queries of the Patent Office. This process is simple and does not require any hard and tough legal principles. You can also negotiate for the best patent and continue with the Bureaucracy until the Patent gets issued.

To get a patent for free, it is required to have knowledge and imagination. Many inventors have obtained free patent without the involvement of patent attorneys and high fees. With the help of a free patent examiner, it is possible to get patent.

Obtaining a free patent requires overall understanding of the invention and patent obtaining procedures. It is required to know the art of describing the invention in detail to get a free patent. Learning and applying the basic steps of obtaining patent for free is not that complex and it was very well explained on https://www.dailypress.com/blogs/dp-ugc-article-inventhelp-provides-the-necessary-help-to-nav-1-2019-01-03-story.html.

However, people with little patent knowledge will find it difficult. But by following the free patent obtaining process steps, you can save the money in your pocket and at the same time, reward yourself with a valid patent free of cost for your invention.

A person’s mind is full of vague ideas which once received a concrete shape need to be protected from being misused and copied. With the pursuit of ensuring safety and protection on an invention or idea patents were introduced. The patents are the legal right provided by the governing bodies to a person with a unique invention.

However, patents are not granted that easily, a government’s representative conduct a patent search to make sure that invention is unique. However, individuals can conduct free patent search on their level to gauge the novelty of the invention.

Patent searches can be conducted for free of cost. The free patent searches includes online search as. Internet is the hub of knowledge. It carries the information of millions of books. Historical happenings and present scenario are all available on internet in the form of open book which can be read by anyone as you can read from https://www.linkedin.com/company/inventhelp.

Free patent searches enable a person to get the in-depth information of any desired field. Suppose you have the invented a unique calculator then you can find vast information about the history of the calculators. Moreover, the present prevalent trend and features of calculators would also become known to you.

Internet as free patent search engine, helps an individual not only in getting information about a product but also help in knowing and understanding the possible changes that one can make in a particular product. There are many websites and search engines available on internet which are free to use and highly useful.

Next to internet, the second source of free patent search is Library. One can always go to the US Patent and Trade Mark Library to gather the information of a particular product, you can read more about it from https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Inventhelp. Lets again take the example of calculator. The calculators have been in use for past many years, there are a number of calculators like the one with batteries and the one without better, which runs on solar energy. Suppose you come up with an invention of calculator which is self powered and never needs to be charged then you can always look up at the type of calculators which have already been created.

Knowing the background of the product can save your time of re-inventing the product. When the patent application is submitted to the patent examiner, he or she also conducts patent search. The patent search is conducted with the pursuit of checking the novelty of the innovation. Therefore, it is advisable that free patent search should be conducted by the inventors.

Free patent search can not only save time but also money. A large amount of money is spent by the inventor for the creation of the invention. This money can be saved from being pasted by conducting free patent search.

If you have knowledge in getting a patent, it is okay if you are the one who will apply for it however, you should know that during the application, it takes a lot of time, effort and you should have enough patience. If you do not want to experience the lengthy application process, then hiring a professional on this area is advisable.

Take note that if you hire someone, this someone is an attorney so it means that you have to spend a lot of money. Saving money is also important that is why you should know the process and the things you need when filing a patent.

Lawyers are not necessary when getting a patent. In order to obtain a patent you should ensure that your invention qualifies for the requirements needed in applying patent and you should be confident and knowledgeable in discussing all the aspects related to your invention as was discussed in https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/inventhelp article.

If you are a type of person that is not confident in speaking, it is not a problem at all. You will be used in speaking many times regarding your invention. The basic steps of getting a patent are helpful so that you will have a perspective of what are the things that will happen during the patent application.

The first thing you should do is to keep a good and complete record of your invention, the process and the improvement of your invention. Make a description, diagram or drawing that may illustrate the invention.

You should have a prototype as well because this will be the product you will be doing the test. In every test and changes the signature and date is very important and the presence of at least two reliable witnesses. Second, is to ensure that the invention you did will qualify for getting a patent. The invention should be new and will be of help in the country.

The invention should not be reproduced to the public after a year from the day of patent application. Third is to assess potential of your invention to be commercialized. It can be a good business venture for you. Approximately the application process will cost you 1500 dollars as you can find on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/INPEX.

Be certain that before you spend more than a thousand dollars your invention should be worth and possibility of the people in buying it is high. Do a search as well, because if you have a similar product with another person your application will be denied. Lastly, prepare and file for getting a patent to the USPTO.

Upon the application, this will be the start of the very stressful but challenging part on getting the approval for patent. Not everyone who will apply gets the approval, most of the applicants will get denied for some reasons so when you get the approval it is very fulfilling on part of the inventor.

A Provisional Patent Application does not get examined by the Patent Office, so nothing really happens until you file a formal Non-provisional Patent Application. Once you’ve filed a Non-provisional Patent Application, the “patent prosecution” phase of the application process begins. Patent prosecution describes the interaction between the Patent Office and your Patent Attorney or Agent concerning your Patent Application.

Oftentimes, Claims in a Patent Application are rejected or objected to in a first Office Action from the Patent Office. Your Patent Attorney’s/Agent’s job is then to argue that your Claims should be allowed based on evidence presented to the Examiner. Alternatively, your Claims may have to be amended to satisfy the Patent Office.

There may be several office actions issued by the Patent Office before a final decision is made regarding your Patent Application. Attorneys can meet face-to-face with the Patent Examiner assigned to your Application, which is very helpful in accelerating the processing of your Patent Application.

In addition, other factors can help accelerate the processing of your Patent Application, including the age of the Inventor and the nature of the invention. Consult with a Patent Attorney or Agent to learn more about these factors as suggested on http://classifieds.usatoday.com/blog/business-spotlight/business-spotlight-inventhelp/.

What Happens After Patent Prosecution?

If one or more Claims in your Patent Application are allowed, you will receive a Patent in the form of a Certificate of Registration. Your patent is good for 20 years from the filing date of the Patent Application. It is therefore to your benefit to minimize the patent prosecution phase, so that you can maximize your patent term.

For the life of the patent, you control the manufacture, use and sale of your invention. This can be an enormously powerful right. In addition, anyone that infringes on your patent may be subject to treble (triple) damages going back to the date of publication of your Patent Application.

Before disclosing your invention to any non-patent attorney, you should have a Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement in place. Even after you file a Patent Application, it is a good idea to have such an agreement in place to provide maximum protection as described in this article on https://www.collegian.psu.edu/xpert_advice/article_1c0ae35e-1916-11e9-a355-13e0947b8cdc.html.

If you plan to collaborate with another person or company, make sure that your Nondisclosure Agreement contains an assignment of rights back to you concerning any changes or improvements to your original invention. Otherwise, the other person or company may become a co-inventor.

You’ve developed the idea, put time into the patent application and construction plans, now the real question is; What is this idea going to be worth to other people? You probably gave this at least a brief thought when you developed the idea to make sure it would be worth the cost to produce. However, a more detailed analysis of the invention’s value will be needed before developing a marketing plan.

How Do You Determine Your Invention’s Value?

There are many factors that must be considered when arriving at a figure. Starting basic, you should consider what you would pay for the idea if you were buying it from someone else. Obviously, you decided that the idea was marketable, or you wouldn’t have made it this far. Next, consider what you would pay for it at the store if you needed, or wanted, it. This figure will help you determine the ultimate value of the product. There are professional patenting agencies that can help you out like InventHelp and you can check their page on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/inventhelp/  to learn more.

What Market are You Shooting For?

If your invention is designed for the general public the price will be lower in order to reach the largest number of people. If the product, or idea, is aimed at businesses you may determine the value, and subsequent price, can be set higher. The market will have a large influence on the price you set for your product.

When doing market research you will also be able to determine if there are other, similar, products available. If there are similar products available this will help in determining the value of your invention. You will not be able to charge a lot more for your product or idea without justifying the additional cost in some way.

Simply approaching a problem from a different angle may not be enough to justify an increased price tag. Offering a more efficient solution, or easier approach, to a problem might be enough to increase the value of your idea.

Another variable in the value of the invention is whether you are planning, and able, to produce the product yourself. The value of the product becomes a combination of the cost of the raw materials, in combination with each other, and the value that the final product holds for the intended audience.

For example, if a product uses gold as one of its raw materials, and the product is not available in any other form, the value of the invention will be higher. Conversely, if your invention is just a variation of currently available products, meant to be produced less expensively, and with added convenience, the price set for it may be lower.

Many Inventors Choose Not to Produce Their Own Products

This may be due to a lack of facilities, raw materials, or desire to produce the product. Some inventors specialize in developing ideas and then selling these ideas to companies who will produce the products under their own name. Determining the value of the idea then becomes essential in setting a price. Again, the target market, and its size, must be determined to estimate the number of units that could be sold.

The final sale price of the product, minus the production cost and marketing costs, will equal the profit that can be realized from the invention. A business will not pay more for an idea than they can turn around for a profit. This means the value of the product will be based on the potential profit that can be realized by the sale of the product in the target market.

Lastly, when determining value of an idea, many inventors will do their own market survey. They will approach people in their target market and ask them questions to determine their likelihood to purchase the proposed product and what price they would pay. This research will give a real world estimate of the value of the product as explained on https://campuspress.yale.edu/tribune/inventhelp-gets-great-inventions-from-the-mind-to-the-market/. The key is to take all answers into consideration and look for the common threads.

All of the factors should be considered when determining an inventions value. After considering the market, any similar products, the cost of production and potential sales price, and value and availability of the raw materials, an estimate of value may be determined. Each factor separately influences the value, but the collective value of all factors will help determine the ultimate value, and final price of the product, or idea.

Do you have an invention or idea that you want to patent? There are three major factors in patenting success. Most people think that all they have to do is come up with a good idea for a product and they can instantly get a patent.

Unfortunately it is not that easy. Getting a patent requires hard work and meeting three specific objectives that you should make sure you have before you even start. Those three things are usefulness, novelty, and non-obviousness and you can read about them on http://collegian.csufresno.edu/2019/07/22/should-i-use-inventhelp-to-bring-my-invention-to-life/ in details.

Usefulness:

Usefulness is probably the easiest of the three factors to prove. It obviously means that the invention must be useful to someone. That mean simply useful to the inventor seek a patent. Usefulness includes that fact that the invention actually operates that way it was intended to. You cannot patent an idea for a product or invention. You may only patent the actual working invention.

Novelty:

Novelty means a product or process for doing something, a design that has never before existed in all of human kind. No one has ever heard of or seen anything like this before.

If the invention has ever been publicly talked about or a report published about it before the applicant for a patent applied for a patent, it will be declined. If you have an invention it is best not to talk about it until you file for a patent.

If you have publically talked about the invention or have publically sold the product in the U.S. you must file a patent application within one year of these events or you forfeit your right for a patent.

To have patenting success your invention must be truly unique. Make sure that there are not any similar products on the market. Differentiate your product from any similar product in a significant way. If you do not, you may not meet the novelty requirement.

Non-Obviousness:

This means that the invention is so unique that an expert in the field would not have normally thought of it. For example, a software designer may add a small feature to an already existing design and try to patent it. This is not non-obviousness. You can just alter a few things and call it a new invention. If you develop a new piece of software and another expert in the field says “Wow! I wish I had thought of that” you have non-obviousness.

In conclusion…

If you have an invention that meets the three factors discussed above you have a fairly good chance of getting a patent. Keep in mind though, that you truly have to prove these things to some pretty tough judges. The U.S. patent office (commonly known as the USPTO) has some stringent guidelines you must meet and it is very well explained here – https://www.sfexaminer.com/marketplace/how-can-you-benefit-from-inventhelp/.

A design is an ornamental texture given to the manufactured article. Design cannot exist on its own or alone. Design cannot be separated from surface ornamentation of the article. Design is a planned patent.

The United States Patent and Trademark office verifies applications. It gives resign patent to the entitled inventions. Patent law grants design patent to a person whose design is original. Design protects the appearance. It does not do anything with structural features as you can see from http://blogs.bu.edu/suechen/inventhelp-taking-inventions-from-paper-to-the-global-marketplace/.

Types of designs and modified forms

You can give ornamental design to a complete article. You can also give design only to ornamentation. Distinct designs should be filed in separate design patent applications. These designs are not generally supported by one claim.

If there is no relationship between two or more articles, designs become independent. If the articles are related, designs can be distinct because of appearances. One design concept is filed in one application.

The difference between design and utility patents

Utility patent protects use of the article. Design patent protects looks of the article. Invention should settle on utility and appearance. Then, you can get both design and utility patents. Both designs have legal separate protection. Articles have both functional and ornamental features as explained on http://www.sfweekly.com/sponsored/why-inventors-turn-to-experts-like-inventhelp/.

Elements of design patent application

Elements of design patent application include:

• Preamble-It gives you title design
• Application data sheet
• RnD statement
• Drawing description
• Description of characteristics
• Single claim
• Drawings/pictures
• Oath/declaration

You need file fee, search fee and exam fee. The fee is reduced to half if concern/inventor is a small entity.

It is essential to invest your time and money in the right products. A squeegee is the best cleaning tool to clean the hidden areas of the window. It is helpful in cleaning huge areas of glasses, for example, sliding doors. When it comes to washing liquids ammonia bases cleaning works best. This could be made at home, you could add some ammonia and vinegar in a hot water bucket and your cleaning solution is ready.

Don’t clean the glasses on hot days as after the cleaning, the glass will dry quickly and there will be water marks on the glass. One should prefer to let the glass itself. Use a hose pipe while cleaning the exteriors of your windows; this way, your window-cleaning job would be less stressful and the stubborn dirt will be washed easily without any difficulty.

Make sure that your cleaning solution is clean or the water being used for the rinsing purpose is not dirty as there is no use in cleaning the window with already dirty cloth or sponge, it would make it messier. Change the bucket water whenever it is necessary. Always dry the window as soon as possible after cleaning it with wet cloth. You don’t want it to dry naturally. Dry the window with a dry cloth and always keep it handy as you would need it more often.

A number of people use newspaper for the drying purpose. This would add a much required shine to the glass. If there are small scratches on the glass, you can remove them by using toothpaste. If you are not interested in cleaning the glasses yourself, then you only have two options: either you could hire a professional help or have a self-cleaning glass at your home. Although, hiring loggu mazgāšanas firmas for cleaning the glass windows is expensive but the quality of the work is much higher.

Self-cleaning glasses are pretty popular these days. They are costly too, but the extra price paid is worth it. We all want a clean window in our home. When our home is dirt free, a stained window ruins the whole impression. Always do the cleaning in one direction, this way there would be no streaks on the window. It is better to remove the dirt from the glass prior to wiping as dirt and water mixed together create more mess.

If the window sill is full of dust, then clean it with a wet cloth that is mixed with alcohol- all the stubborn dirt would be removed very easily.

Window glasses are very sensitive to dust and dirt, so a clean cloth and clear water should be used in window cleaning. Vinegar gives the best results if there are greasy stains on your window glass.

Patent law is a complicated body of law the deals with the granting and defending of patents. A patent is a grant of the exclusive right to an invention. In the United States the exclusive authority to grant patents for inventions is given to Congress through the Constitution. A patent gives its owner the right to exclude others from making, using or selling the claimed invention for a limited time (i.e. the term of the patent).

Patent Law Basics

There are three types of patents, they are: 1) Utility patents issued for useful devices, materials and processes. 2) Design patents issued for useful designs; and 3) Plant patents issued for asexually reproducing plants.

In order to be considered patentable, the subject matter of an invention must fall within at least one of the categories mentioned in 101 of the Patent Act which includes the following: 1) Processes; 2) Machines 3) Products from Manufacture; 4) Compositions of Matter; or 5) Any new, useful and non-obvious improvement of any of the above, and it is all very well explained on https://steemit.com/inventions/@fiserman/is-your-invention-really-worth-money.

In practice, these categories have been construed broadly enough to include such inventions as devices, chemical compounds, computer software, living cells and multi-celled non-human organisms.

In order to be patentable, an invention must in addition meet the following three conditions: 1) Novelty –the invention must be different from the prior art in its area; 2) Utility -the invention must be practical as opposed to artistic in nature; and 3) Non-Obvious –when viewed as a whole, the invention must not have been an obvious improvement in the invention’s field of art when viewed by one of ordinary skill in that field.

Patents that issue on pending or newly filed applications after June 8, 1995 are entitled to a term that is 20 years from the filing date. In addition to the application of patents, this field of law also deals with the subtleties of patent infringement and enforcement. If you believe you have an idea and invention, it’s a good idea to secure the services of a Patent professional to protect your intellectual property as you can read from this https://doesitreallywork.org/invent-help-review/ review.

The purpose of filing a PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) application is to buy the applicant time within which to decide upon countries of interest for filing in at a later date. The PCT procedure allows the applicant to temporarily retain the right to apply for patents in more than 100 different contracting countries of the PCT, including regional designations, which encompass a vast majority of neighboring countries located in that particular region (for example, Europe).

The PCT application (the “Request”) must be filed within one year of the filing date of the applicant’s first U.S. application (which is the “priority date”). Frequently, the applicant’s first U.S. application is a provisional application, which expires after one year, which means that the PCT patent application usually needs to be filed at the same time as any then filed U.S. utility application. You can get more detailed info from https://www.advfn.com/newspaper/advfnnews/50958/let-inventhelp-assist-with-your-invention-idea.

Once the applicant files the PCT application, the applicant is given a period of 30 months (2 ½ years) from the priority date to file national stage patent applications in any PCT countries. That is usually 18 months after filing the PCT application, which is usually filed 12 months after the priority date.

Six months after the Request has been filed, the application will be published by the World Intellectual Property Organization. At about that time, you should receive your International patentability search report, which is an excellent predictor of your U.S. search results.

The PCT application typically expires on the 30-month deadline. The applicant should decide which countries to file in as the 30-month deadline approaches. When considering filing internationally, the applicant should first establish a budget for costs, and then consider the potential for marketability of the product in that particular country or countries. Once marketability has been established, the applicant then selects (designates) the countries of interest, and proceeds with filing the applications in the designated countries as stated in https://www.tmcnet.com/topics/articles/2019/05/23/442268-turn-idea-into-new-product-with-assistance-from.htm article.

International costs, including filing costs, prosecution costs, and annuities that must be paid in order to maintain the patents, will vary from country-to-country.

There is certain remarkable information of patent which you must maintain in the spirit before the classification for an patent application.

In order to apply for a patent, one must be armed with good information with patent. The drafting of an patent application is extremely complex, and a patent carefully complete is necessary to ensure protection proportioned for an invention. The office of patent and registered trademark is a good information source of patent for general questions, but a lawyer of tested patent is recommended to provide the expert councils and the council of information of patent.

The information of patent indicates that the patent can be obtained on inventions . The inventions include any news and useful machine, process, article of manufacture, composition of matter (such as a new chemical composition), and improvements on unspecified among these things as explained in details on https://campuspress.yale.edu/tribune/inventhelp-gets-great-inventions-from-the-mind-to-the-market/.

The information of patent also proves that there are three types of patents granted by the office of the patents of the United States: patents of service, patents of design and patents of factory.

The information of patent also states that certain things were held not to qualify for the protection of patent such as copyright, the registered trademarks, the abstract ideas, pure mathematical handling of the numbers and the laws or the products of nature. The software in the non patentable beginning was considered.

However, these last years, the information of patent changed to make inventions of software patentable as you can see from this post on http://www.canyon-news.com/living-the-dream-with-the-assistance-of-inventhelp/86020. The request concerning the patent can be a thing crafty one and difficult. But armed with good information with patent and councils, your efforts could be succeeded.

The office of the patents does not grant patents for only ideas or suggestions. One can patent an idea only if the idea is used as means to invent or discover any news and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any news and useful improvement for an already patented invention.

Practically something made by human, prone to the conditions and the conditions of the law, is patentable. To patent an idea one must have an invention, not on simply the idea or the suggestion of a new invention.

A patent is a concession published by the office of patent and registered trademark giving to inventors the right to exclude from others to make, employ, or to sell their invention in the United States. In exchange of this concession, the inventors must reveal their invention with the public in the form of patent application as written in https://gazettereview.com/2018/12/change-world-invention-turning-inventhelp/.

A patent does not grant to inventors the line to make, employ, sell, or import their inventions – to exclude only from others to make thus.

To patent an idea there must initially be an invention. And to make it possible to patent an idea by the invention, the invention must be considered new. One can patent an idea by the new invention unless to follow one of applied before him was invented:

• he was known or employed by others in the United States.
• it was patented with the United States or the foreign country
• it was described in a publication printed with the United States or the foreign country

One can patent an idea by the new invention unless to follow one of apply more than one year before the date of an patent application:

• it was patented with the United States or the foreign country
• it was described in a publication printed with the United States or the foreign country
• it was in the public use or on sale in the United States.

In order to patent an idea by the invention, the invention must also be regarded as useful, that means it must fulfill a function and do what is envisaged it to do. Moreover, in order to patent an idea the invention must give the new ones and not-obvious results compared with the known approaches as you can read from https://www.advfn.com/newspaper/advfnnews/49381/get-your-business-started-with-inventhelp. For example, the substitution of a material for others in an invention or the change of its size is usually not reasons for the patentability. The determination if you can patent of an idea is a complex process. And it better is led under the careful watch of an legal adviser.

You can create as many new products as you would like but getting a patent is time consuming and difficult, even if you have a very good idea. The best thing you can do is to invent something that people can use that will help with their daily lives, and then go see the right people so you can have it developed.

If you have a good idea that will help people with their daily chores along with getting the kids involved too, then it should definitely be a money maker. Regardless, this will take money and work while in the development stages.

The first step to patenting an idea is to do a Patent Search Online and see if the product is already in existence. The internet is filled with information about products so this is the best source to check. Do not chase after something that has been patented. If you do try to patent something already patented, you are setting yourself up for legal trouble later.

One of the major disadvantages of trying to patent something is the cost involved. It can cost several thousand dollars, possibly even five or six figures. There is a provisional patent you can get that is much cheaper, and costs only fifty dollars for one year to protect your idea. This option will buy you time to get the higher cost patent as explained in https://steemit.com/innovation/@fiserman/what-does-it-take-to-become-a-modern-inventor-in-2019.

All of the patents are handled by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Before you apply, make sure to do a patent application search. Though it is easy to do this process yourself, you may want to hire an attorney that specializes in this area to handle it for you. For some, this may be ideal since a specialist in the area will know what you can and cannot do to get a patent and to prevent your application from being rejected. Once filed, you can get information on your pending patent and begin to market the product, assuming it is out of the manufacturing stage.

Another part of patents is that you must find a company that is willing to manufacture the product unless you are capable to handling this part yourself. If the item has been made by you, and can be easily produced again by you, you can save money by marketing the product yourself. There are many places you will be able to sell the item online to, such as auction sites or creating your own website to sell it. Keep in mind not to sell it before you have submitted the patent paperwork.

There are companies who can help with getting other companies to accept your product or idea. Some may purchase the rights to the product or some may offer a portion of the profits to you. There are some that will try the product as well before they accept it. There are many companies you can contact but if you have had success already on your own, you will have a better chance of having the product accepted by other companies. Find out more on https://t2conline.com/reasons-why-it-is-essential-for-entrepreneurs-to-be-innovative/.

Patent is an intellectual property right granted to an inventor for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted. However straight-forward the definition of patent and the different types of patents you can obtain, the pathway to actually receiving a patent is somewhat winding and can be difficult if you attempt it alone.

First, a Patent Search should be conducted, to see if your idea is already covered by an existing patent or filed application. Searching the databases of all published patents and applications requires knowing quite a bit about the searching process, which includes being able to use Boolean search terms and connectors, and also quite a bit about the field in which search you are searching and you can find more info about it from https://www.macobserver.com/tips-on-getting-your-tech-invention-off-the-ground/ too.

Most times, patent publications include very broad and descriptive terminology, not necessarily the common trade names of products and components. There are many patent search companies which can easily conduct this type of research for a fee. Patent attorneys often also provide this service, and are also able to provide legal and use-infringement opinions based on their findings.

Second, a Filing Strategy should be considered. Depending on what your idea entails, you may want to consider International Patent Protection as part of your initial filing, which can include filing one or more patent applications in foreign countries, or filing an application initially in the US, followed up by filings in one or more foreign countries. If you are unsure about the viability of an international filing, please contact a qualified patent attorney to review your specific idea.

Next, the a type of application needs to be chosen. Often times a Traditional Utility Application is the best route for most inventors because it begins the patent review process immediately upon filing. Sometimes, a Provisional Utility Application works best for a specific idea, because it provides for a simplified submission with a lower initial investment, and gives the inventor 12 months to estimate the commercial potential of the invention before announcing the higher costs of filing and processing the traditional non-provisional patent application.

At the end of the 12-month period, the traditional utility application must be filed, to continue the review process and keep the original filing date. If you are unsure of which application type is the best for your invention, a patent attorney or agent can easily help you decide as was discussed in https://knowtechie.com/5-new-breakthrough-tech-inventions/.

It really is worth your time to contact a patent attorney or agent before committing yourself and your idea to the patent pathway. Often times, a patent application is the best route, but sometimes it is not. Submitting an incorrectly prepared or researched patent application may actually create more problems for your continued enjoyment of your invention than not submitting anything at all.

The first place most people look for loans in Sweden is over the internet as a rough guide to determining the cost and viability of the loan before actually taking up the loan. The problem is that the majority of people still don’t seem to consider online personal loan providers as legitimate lenders. Even if online personal loan providers provide rates that are far better than the brick and mortar banks, the majority of people would still use the banks products.

Part of the reason for this is the unfamiliarity that people harbor against online personal loan providers. The unfortunate truth is that most borrowers’ fears with online personal loan providers are unfounded. Most borrowers have an impression that legitimate lenders must have a store-front to service clients. Again this is untrue as online personal loan providers service a part of the market which is distinctly different to those lenders with a store front presence. Borrowers must be aware of this difference to fully appreciate the role and purpose of online personal loan providers.

As with any market for products or services there are vendors that service the upper echelon of the market as well as those that service the lower echelon of the market. Banks or lending institutions that have store fronts that actually have people employed specially to service their customers on a face-to-face basis can be considered high end lenders. These lenders will have relatively higher rates and deals that aren’t particularly good although the customer service is almost always first class.

Online personal loan providers however service the other side of the market, namely the budget conscious. Their rates are considerably cheaper compared to those that banks offer, which you can easily compare on financial websites like Blancolan24.nu, but provide little to no customer service as a consequence. It is thus wrong to label the cut priced providers as being a class below that of brick and mortar banks or finance institutions.

Cheating is never a good idea. Nothing good just ever comes out of it. The punishment for students caught doing this act is relatively mild compared to the consequences out there in the real world. Just how grave, you might ask? Well, depending on the gravity of the offence, violators could pay a hefty fines. Actually, such punishment is just one of the easiest to deal with. For graver offences, perpetrators could face up to a few years in jail.

Businesses, in particular, are very cautious of this type of illegal activity, especially when it comes to the use and distribution of their products. Any one caught using, making, importing, and selling another company’s product without the permission of the proprietor is committing patent infringement. Crimes, such as this, do not go unpunished. The consequences for this offence vary with each country and it is explained in this https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/InventHelp-Reviews-E152162.htm article.

In the UK, for instance, the proprietor is awarded with damages while the infringer is served with an injunction. While in the U.S., the patent holder is entitled to reasonable royalty or lost profit.

If you are a business owner or inventor, in order to take advantage of this privilege, you must first enforce your patent. People who are allowed to use of sell the merchandise should also be issued a licence.

Ways to Fix Patent Conflicts

It can be tiring and exhausting to be a part of a legal dispute. Considering that the justice system tries to maintain balance, there are times wherein injured parties will end up unsatisfied with court verdicts. Fortunately, there are other ways to settle these conflicts without resorting to drastic measures.

When it come to resolving patent conflicts, there are two types of disputes you could be part in, namely:

With the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), regarding an objection towards the application of the patent.
With a third party that used the product without your consent.

In any of these cases, how do you go about solving them? For starters, you could either request for a hearing to provide an avenue for both parties to meet and state their cases. Another method would be to require the services of a mediator. This person will help reach a settlement that both the damaged party and infringer could agree to as you can learn from https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Inventhelp.

There are different types of products in the market. At one point or another, there have been people who took the time to think, design, and create their inventions. But before these items become available for public consumption, such items face a number of risks. Aside from the possibility of rejection by the people at large, anything new and promising are also at risk of being extorted by outside parties.

If you are about to sell a completely new product, how do you protect it from being copied? How do you prevent a third party from claiming the rights to your merchandise? The answer: a patent.

This is basically an intellectual property benefit that allows the creator, inventor, or a proprietor the authority to have all the rights to the new product. In addition, a third party cannot use, make, sell, or import the item unless they have permission from the owner. Anyone caught violating this is sanctioned or fined for the crime of infringement as was explained in https://www.ideaconnection.com/innovation-blogs/inventhelp-blog-00279.html.

Getting a Patent: The Things you Need to Know

In the middle of all the conveniences that we are getting from technology, a few brilliant minds still manage to come up with additional creative ideas and the most innovative inventions. And if you are one of them, you should know that protecting your work is important for so many reasons.

A patent is used to protect your idea and work from duplication and illegal reproduction and distribution without your permission. But before applying for one, here are a few things that are worth checking out:

You have to meet certain requirements to qualify for a patent. First, your work should be patentable, meaning it can be used or performed. Second, it should be something that people can benefit from. Third, it should be fresh and not just a recycled or improved version of an existing theory or application.

There are corresponding costs for your application. This may vary depending on your country or state, but some can be quite costly especially if you commission someone to do it for you. So if you have the time, you can actually do it yourself to save money.

You need to verify first if your invention is the only one of its kind. You have to do this before the application so that when you will not have a hard time going through the process and end up being declined because your idea has already been patented by someone else. All this is very well presented on this Youtube channel – https://www.youtube.com/user/inventhelp.

Finally, do not forget to submit a document that states the details of your invention including its features, mechanisms, steps on how to use it.

It is indeed a matter of keeping the basics right when one faces the prospect of patenting one’s invention. The preparation of obtaining a patent starts from the patent application process and the intricacies involved with it. The whole process involves the necessity of knowing the factors involved in patenting an invention.

Requirement of patent law and rules involves the right kind of approach to the procedure. A patent attorney or even an agent trained in the different aspects of a patent can be very helpful. Although the representation of an expert is not sought for in every case, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Many well informed persons do not need any outside help in prosecuting their application. But however skilled a person might be in the area of getting a patent or applying for a patent, any wrong step in the final format can be heavy to repay. The adequacy of the obtained patent cannot be granted. An attorney or an agent thus becomes handy in making the future secure as you can read from https://www.jpost.com/Special-Content/Harness-Your-Creativity-and-Become-an-Inventor-with-InventHelp-574856.

A thorough knowledge of the factors involved in the making of the invention, that is to be patented is a must. This needs mention in the application to obtain a patent. The design of the object under concern needs complete explanation. Such a claim protects the overall visual basis of the invention. The discloser of all sort needs to be examined and weighed from all aspects.

Any incomplete disclosure can result in fatal disclosure at the time of getting a patent or after that. This in turn can terminate the whole thing and the patent will stand null and void. Services of professional draft person should be retained. There are guides available which deal with aspects of drawing a draft but that might seem complicated to us.

Once a completed draft of the application is received by the patenting office and the required fee is paid a fee receipt is issued. The receipt is to be kept safely as it might be asked to be produced for checking. The formalities involved in the whole process can be tiring as well as time consuming. But after the whole, a satisfaction is achieved.

The applications are examined according to their filling date. An examiner is assigned the task of going through the entire application. The claimed subject to be patented is compared with the various inventions that already exist.

Once the claimed object is asked to be patented, and it is found as unique in reality the process to patent it starts as explained in http://thestartupmag.com/inventhelp-inventions-ideas-make-world-better-place/. The instructions are issued in the interest of the invention. The patent application process becomes the part of the entire invention itself. The permit to the inventor to have all types of economic profits from the invention remains the next step.

All the creativity you see in the world are ideas of certain people. For instance, the design of a house and the materials used therein are results of the imagination of various individuals who have invested physical labour, financial resources, and precious time in conceptualising and producing them. In the past, all inventions were considered public domain until the nineteenth century when the term intellectual property began to be used. Today, manufacturers of devices such as a satellite laptop are already given exclusive rights to their creations as a way of recognising their ingenuity as well as to prevent others from stealing or replicating their ideas without their permission.

In essence, the concept of restricted ownership was influenced mainly by commercial practices. Because of stiff competition, it was a way for establishments to ensure their place in the market much like what laptop companies do these days. As a matter of fact, patents started out as royal grants for monopoly privileges given to merchants by Queen Elizabeth I during the fifteen hundredths. Approximately two hundred years after the end of her reign, it became a legal right acquired by an inventor in order to gain complete control over the production and sale of his goods. But even before that time, its origins can be traced back further that even ancient Jewish laws have similar notions of it. Thus, it would be safe to say that if a home laptop was conceived during that time, the maker would still enjoy the same advantages as he would today.

However, there are many issues concerning patents and trademarks that are getting more attention these days. This is because various industries are facing a number of problems that violate the laws involved. Oftentimes, they lead to crises such as financial loss. In the case of a laptop business, for example, companies are struggling with criminals, who not only threaten their investments but sell poor quality items that could also jeopardise the health and safety of the people. What is worse is that some of those pirates carry famous laptop brands which could ruin reputation and public trust. Hence, intellectual property protection is vital to social, cultural, and economic development. For a deeper understanding you can refer to http://herald.web.unc.edu/2019/04/the-power-of-successfully-bringing-inventions-to-the-global-marketplace/, and here are its common types.

Trademark: This is a word, phrase, design, symbol or a combination of them all that distinguishes and identifies the source of the items in question. In other words, they are labels, logos, and slogans that you see and read in commercials for products such as a business laptop. Moreover, they serve as an indicator of excellence and inform consumers where to seek help in the event the item fails. This form of quality control has been around for thousands of years that if you visit the Great Wall in China, you will still be able to see such marks on some of the bricks. Needless to say, using this method assures accountability on the part of the maker. If, for example, you bought a new laptop from a reputable brand, you would surely have peace of mind knowing that it is authentic, of good origin, and has a reliable warranty.

Copyrights: They are granted to the author of an original work to exercise control over the distribution and adaptation of his masterpiece. Essentially, the process allows artists to enjoy the fruits of their labour for a specific period of time, until the materials become available for public use. These works include the movies you watch in your laptop, the song you listen to, the books you read, and even the paintings you see in museums. Meanwhile, the owner can freely transfer their license to others.

Copyrights benefit society because they generate a rich cultural menu for citizens. Furthermore, they encourage individuals to share and express their talents as they have the security of being credited for their brilliance. So the next time you make a film using your trusty digital camcorder, you might want to obtain exclusive rights for it just in case it becomes famous in the future.

Patents: They protect inventions such as manufacturing processes, industrial designs, scientific discoveries, and electronic devices like your gaming laptop. Like the previous, the innovator is given unshared permission to profit from his creation for a limited period but in most countries, he is required to reveal how his innovation was made so that the people will understand and learn from it. After that, anybody can produce, sell or use the gadget. The same is true with the process of creating a laptop. While the idea of having a portable computer came from one person, many companies nowadays share the privilege of being able to make and barter them.

Non-disclosure Agreement: This is a legal contract between two groups that ensures the secrecy of pertinent facts about a business or a strategy. The purpose of this is to prevent third parties from accessing sensitive data that could be corrupted, especially for the sake of gaining profit. A hypothetical example for this would be two enterprises that merged to embark on a project like creating the most advanced netbook. In order to prohibit competitors from knowing such venture, everybody who has knowledge about it are compelled by law to keep all information confidential. Otherwise, if one fails to stick to the arrangement, he could be punished.

Cross-licensing: This is also a type of agreement wherein two or more parties grant to use each other’s patents. One particular advantage of this is that it greatly reduces the risk of accidental infringement by reinventing something that already exists. This is true especially when making gadget accessories like a laptop support where the license may not be by the imitator as the item may be perceived as less important. Also, it eliminates litigation expenses as neither establishment can sue or be sued as long as they follow the contract.

On the whole, those procedures mentioned above are very significant in promoting cultural development, safeguarding the public, and fostering growth and innovation and there is more to it as you can read in https://newswatchtv.com/2019/02/11/getting-help-invention-inventhelp/. Without them, various industries including laptop manufacturers might not be able to thrive.

A typical United States Patent costs between $8,000 and $10,000 to obtain. You can expect to spend about $6,000 to have the patent drafted and filed. The rest of the money will be spent over the next 2 years in the preparation of legal briefs arguing for the patentability of your case and in federal issue fees if you are ultimately successful. Here’s how that total breaks down:

Step 1 – Patent Search. This step involves searching the prior patents and possibly other relevant publications in order to determine: Whether your proposed invention is patentable; and If so, what will be the likely coverage of the patent obtained. You can expect to spend $900 on this step.

Step 2 – Preparing and filing a U.S. utility patent application. This step involves drafting the patent specification, the claims, the drawings, and the preparation of all associated forms. You can expect to spend $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 for this portion of the process. You will also have to pay the U.S. government filing fee of $730 (assuming you qualify for the small entity discount) as was described very well on https://www.reddit.com/r/TheInnovativeFuture/comments/b7dqks/bringing_an_invention_to_the_masses/.

Step 3 – Drafting amendments and/or responsive arguments. About 18 months after file your application you should receive a response from the government. Many patent applications are rejected on their first pass through. If that happens, it will be necessary to draft amendments and accompanying legal briefs. You can expect to spend about $2,000 on this step.

Step 4 – Issue. Once a patent application is allowed, the U.S. government charges a $480 issue fee. This fee is not assessed until the government has issued a document stating that you are entitled to the patent. Thus, the issue fee is a risk free expenditure. You should also be aware that the U.S. government now charges a $300 (small entity) publication fee in most applications.

What does a patent do for you?

A patent gives you an effective monopoly for its entire term – which is typically about 18 years. If you create a successful product you can bet that you will soon have competition and that the competition will drive your profit down – if not eliminate it altogether. A patent locks out competition for the patented product. This can be a tremendous market advantage as you can see from this story on https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/thoughtster/young-inventors-coming-up-with-new-invention-ideas/.

In addition, the possession of a patent is almost indispensable if you want to license your product to an existing manufacturer. Companies will sometimes accept outside submissions, but it is quite rare for them to pay any meaningful royalty unless you have a patent.

Before attempting to patent an idea or invention, be sure you have completed the following basic steps:

Have you researched your idea to be sure it is not already invented? Many inventors approach only to learn that their idea already exists. The Internet is a great tool to look for similar inventions. Using Google or other search engines is a great way to find products. Search using several different key words and look for similar products. The USPTO (www.uspto.gov) is the official government site for patents, and this is also a great place to look, but it is generally not a user-friendly as Google.

Have you calculated how much money you may make from your invention? It always amazed me how many people never took time to estimate how much they can make from their inventions. Here are some helpful tips. If you plan to license your idea, expect to receive 3%~6% royalties, and that is after you find someone to license it. Expect to spend at least $15,000 or more on travel and attorney fees if you license it yourself as was explained in http://blogs.bu.edu/suechen/inventhelp-taking-inventions-from-paper-to-the-global-marketplace/ article.

If you use a broker or licensing firm, they will take at least 25% of your royalty, and there is no guarantee that you will get a deal. In addition to that, many firms charge fees, so be sure you know how much these fees are and what you receive for them. If you plan to manufacture and sell the product yourself, be sure you have a solid business plan first. I personally do not recommend this unless you have experience running a company, or have partners and/or advisors to help you.

Do you know your competition? Many people make the mistake of assuming that just because they make something better than existing products that they will sell millions. This is not true. Consider the little aluminum kick-and-go scooters that were popular about 7 years ago. These appeared out of nowhere, and they sold millions the first year. Two years later there were at least 10 versions of these, and almost all of them were better than the original. Unfortunately the fad was over, and nobody cared. Most of the companies went broke.

Be sure there is a market for your product. If possible, go to industry trade organizations and try to find out how many similar products are sold every year, what they sell for, and what features they offer. This will give you some idea of the market size and sales potential.

How will you market your product? Having a good idea and making a prototype is the easy part. Getting the product to market and getting people to buy it is the hard part. Be sure you have a plan IN WRITING! If it won’t work on paper it won’t work in the real world! If you are not sure how to do this, some suggestions are to attend trade shows and meet with Manufactures Sales Representatives. Most of them are ex sales and marketing professionals that independently represent products.

Another option is Internet sales and distributors that offer similar products to your invention. Local colleges and universities are also great sources for help. Many professors teaching sales and marketing classes are often looking for “real world” class projects. You can learn much more about patenting process and patents from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwagHuXIMMY as well.

Many firm prosecutes patent applications in different technical and scientific fields, including consumer devices, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and the medical device industry. Their procedure for prosecuting patent application includes interviewing the inventor, conducting a prior art search, preparing a draft of the patent application, advising client regarding drawings, and completing prosecution of the patent.

These patenting firms, such as InventHelp, are not limited to representing business, academic, or industrial institutions. They also serve independent inventors and non-institutional clients.

In some instances, a company or inventor develops a new invention and the inventor has concerns about infringing a valid patent. In those situations, their can conduct an investigation and draft a freedom to operate and infringement opinion. This opinion evaluates existing patents and the proposed technology to see if the proposed technology infringes a valid United States patent. This opinion will allow the client to develop an effective strategy for dealing with issued patents.

Some inventors and institutions do not wish to hold onto their patents themselves. In these circumstances, the inventor will look to sell his patent rights. This can come in the form of either a licensing agreement or a full-fledged assignment of rights. A licensing agreement is different from an assignment agreement in that a licensing agreement is not a transfer of all the rights of the patent holder. In contrast, an assignment is when the patent holder transfers all of his rights in the patent as you can see from https://azbigmedia.com/inventhelp-can-help-turn-your-invention-into-reality/.

It is extremely important that, as an inventor, you educate yourself on all types of patent law, including foreign patent laws. You can best do this via the aid of a knowledgeable patent lawyer. You do, however, want to make sure that the attorney you hire has experience with and is well versed in your and foreign country patent laws. Also, the foreign market could well be a wonderful and lucrative source of income for you as a result of securing the intellectual property rights to your invention. While you may have to follow certain rules such as using a patent agent to file your patent, you can definitely protect yourself and your invention if you become informed.

In the state of USA, a patent gives you the legal right to prevent others from using your idea without your permission, requiring them to either buy the patent from you or pay you a royalty fee. A patent, in other words, allows you to profit greatly from your idea or invention.

Once and inventor creates a product the first step should be to prepare a detailed description of the product for the filing process. When filing a patent, you are documenting and claiming ownership of the invention, similar to a title to a car or deed to a home. During the documentation process, sketches or detailed drawings should also be made for a clear understanding of any proprietary design.

It is important to correctly and accurately complete the patent process, not only to protect your product, but because the patent becomes a very valuable asset that can eventually be sold or leased. It is wise to consult a patent lawyer or a patent agency, such as InventHelp, prior to starting this detailed and crucial process.

Patents generally protect products or processes, which include new technical or functional aspects. They protect the ideas behind how things work. If you are spending money on research and development of new products or processes, then patenting should be on the cards.

Any company investing in R & D can not afford to ignore the power patents have in protecting this investment. Patent protection provides the possibility of obtaining a monopoly in the desired country or countries up to 20 years from the filing date for the invention as explained in http://www.sfweekly.com/sponsored/why-inventors-turn-to-experts-like-inventhelp/.

How To Apply For A Patent

Like anything else in life, you’ll have to pay in order to patent your idea or invention. How much? That depends on how much you can afford. Why? Well you could patent it yourself, go through the long process, but it’s highly recommended you hire a patent agency such as InventHelp, or a patent lawyer to help you out and depending on what you decide to patent it could very well be cheap or expensive enough that you might need start a garage sale to cover the costs.

From there you need to verify if the patent already exists or not. This involves a patent search of the database at the US patent office. If it doesn’t exist, it’s simple, you pay for it. If it does, maybe your lawyers will find loopholes so that your idea can be patented depending on how good the lawyers you hire are. Once this is all done, it’s time to fill up the patent application form and go through the steps for getting a patent. This usually takes a month but it can go longer if needed.

Your patent lawyer will provide advice on international laws.

By the way, these are crucial steps for getting a patent so it’s important you don’t neglect any of them. After having done the research to see if you can patent your invention, you need a minimum of an overview for the statement of the patent. Once it is determined you need to have either a picture or drawing so that it can be seen. (Note that it is legally not possible to patent an idea under intellectual property law, unlike what you may hear from invention submission companies, which may be scams).

After that you’ll need to have a detailed description of the drawing to explain the patent itself and finally you need to point out the specific items that are claimed for license by this invention.

If I recap there are 5 main steps for getting a patent:

1. Search for the patent to make sure it doesn’t exist already.

2. An overview statement of the patent.

3. A drawing of your patent.

4. Detailed description of your patent by referring to the drawing.

5. Specify what needs to be licensed.

The last thing to do is to determine if you want to keep the patent or not by choosing provisional or non-provisional patent. Basically if you feel like you idea might not be that profitable choosing a provisional patent will make your patent temporary for one year. However if you wish to keep that patent then within the first year you will have to change it to a non-provisional patent and it was all explained in https://steemit.com/inventions/@businesses/inventhelp-protecting-ideas-and-inventions.

As you can see these steps for applying for a patent look relatively easy. Let me assure you that this is a summary of the steps. The actual steps for getting a patent are far more complicated and hiring a professional patent lawyer is definitely going to help you speed up the process.

On the internet, press release is considered one of the best and most cost-effective ways to promote your business. When it is listed on popular sites like PRWeb.com, your site can get a lot of traffic. Of course, it is not enough post the press release in a single syndication website, the more sites you submit to, the better. There are many benefits that can be expected from submitting relevant and newsworthy releases. Among these are:

Website Traffic – as was mentioned earlier, traffic is a virtual byproduct of press release submission. The more your company name is mentioned and links you have, the more chances that you’ll have relevant visitors to your site.

Free or Almost-Free Publicity – unlike other forms of marketing, press release submission only needs very little investments. There are press release distribution services that include everything you need to run a successful campaign at an affordable price. Regular submission is sometimes recommended to maximize effectiveness.

Increase SERP Ranking – optimized press release can aid site performance in the search engine results page (SERP). When you submit to syndication websites, you immediate get link backs. This will ultimately increase site authority and result in long-term benefits to your company.

Establish a Strong Internet Presence – having press releases circulating on the web presents an unprecedented opportunity. As more people stumble upon them, many will eventually know about your offers. Make it a point to submit press releases regularly, whenever there is a noteworthy event or new products to be launched.

Improve Brand Reputation – by getting listed on popular and trustworthy PR submission sites, you are making a statement: yours is a company to be trusted. This improves overall brand reputation on the World Wide Web.

Establish Relationship with Partners and Clients – finally, by submitting press release to distribution websites, more opportunities will e brought up. Potential clients, partners, and company stakeholders will become aware of your existence. Once they become engrossed, your company will reap the benefits.

Let’s examine five reasons why businesses should use press releases services for SEO purposes:

Unsolicited pr’s don’t have a good chance of going much further than the initial mailing. Journalists and bloggers are more likely today to use search engines to research and get the stories and information they’re looking for.

It’s really a timing issue. But distributing an optimized pr increases the odds that it will be seen.

Optimized pr’s distributed and hosted by any number of press release distribution services can gain a big audience. In addition to professional writers searching for and finding them, consumers do too.

Companies can include links in their pr’s that lead back to their website. Many pr distribution services allow you to also add anchor text links. These can leads back to various pages on their site, not just the main page. These can have a huge effect on the site’s search engine ranking.

As the company gains more visibility with the pr in search engines, they increase their chances of being seen. With that comes greater potential of being written about by bloggers and other media which gains even more exposure for the company and website.

Additional links back to your site are being created when others write about your business. That’s because they generally will include at least the website’s URL. This is just another way to boost your search engine ranking.

An optimized pr addressing issues of a company can show up in the same search engine results as the negative news regarding the company. This becomes an effective way to overcome, or at least neutralize, poor press.

Any company can benefit from press release services for SEO purposes due to these 5 reasons. Examine your business, find newsworthy items, and begin optimizing your business online. The final outcome makes the effort well worth it!

You can let people know who you are by writing and submitting your own press releases. Years ago it was impossible to do this, so we truly have an advantage with the Internet.

There were guidelines on how to let a publication know that you had something that might be of interest to them. Usually you had the name, phone number, and fax number of the person you wanted to reach, and it was entirely up to them to decide if what you had to say was newsworthy or not.

Those days are long gone. We are now able to write our own press releases to submit to online sites. You can use both paid press release service and free press release distribution sites to get the word out about who you are and what you do online.

Write press releases in a way that is clear to those who will read them. This means that you must be clear in your intentions for the information you are releasing. This style of writing is very different from anything else, and knowing exactly how to give your message the right twist will make all the difference in the world.

This is something I refer to as ‘the Kindergarten effect’. Young children, as you may know, will make a big deal out of little things. Maybe a bug comes into their room and they can’t stop talking about it. Or a new movie will come out and they will want to watch it over and over again.

Think about what you are doing in your business. It may seem like you are not doing anything special, but the world will see it as something spectacular if you are willing to make a big deal of it.

Start by making a list of the regular activities you engage in for your business. What is new and different? Perhaps you have started a new blog or will be speaking at a conference. Anything you are doing is worthy of sending a press release to announce it.

Once you have learned how to write in this style, make it a point to send a new press release every month. Some businesses are doing this every week, so it is not a stretch to do it monthly. Make sure to use your keywords in the title and throughout the body of the release, and then distribute it widely. Using press releases as a marketing technique will build your business quickly.

If you have an idea and you want to know if somebody else had already discovered it before, you can do a patents search. This is important if you plan to invent things and want to earn from it. A patent is a legal document that describes a certain invention and is granted to the owner of the idea or invention. This is done so that other people will have no right to sell the invention.

Doing a patents search helps you know who owns a certain inventions or idea. Searching for a patent in the web is not that easy. The database of patents in the web is immense and it’s going to be a really tough search. There are however companies like InventHelp, who can do a full patent research on your behalf.

To make things less complicated you should narrow down your search. What type of patent are you looking for? Is it a utility, plant or design patent? Objects that are invented to function in some manner are categorized under the utility patent. This includes machines, methods, gadget, devices and processes, etc.

For improvements in design only of an object or invention you can find it under the design patent. New types of plants that are produced through asexual method are found under plant patent. However plants that are genetically engineered are still placed under utility patents.

There are different reasons why people conduct a patent search. If you want to patent a certain idea you should first see whether it’s original. Doing a patents search is very useful if you plan to write your own patent application. A successful search will show related inventions or inventions that are same as yours.

There are different ways that you can use when searching for a patent. You can search for a patent using the inventor’s name. But you can only search for inventors who had invented things for the past twenty years. There are tutorials online that can help you learn how to search for patents using the inventor’s name. If your search requires objects that are really old you will need to search it using its patent number. Patent numbers are found in a box of a product or directly printed on it.

Another way of searching for a patent is with the use of words. In doing this type of search think of the words that describes the invention that you are looking for, then search them. Come up with words that directly and uniquely describe an invention to make your search easier. After typing in the keywords your search will reveal a list of titles and number of patents found. By clicking the title you be able to read the details of the patent and its full text.

There are online databases that you can readily use when doing a patent search. It is provided by Delphion and the US Patents Office. There are also Depository Patent Libraries that you can search from. You can set an appointment with the librarian and ask for help regarding your patents search.

In doing a patents search you can also employ other people to do it. There are experts in this field that can provide quality research. If you are new to this it is advisable that you hire an attorney or professionals, like InventHelp, to do the work. Before hiring someone, to avoid scammers there should be a non-disclosure agreement signed by both parties.

To better understand patents searching you can read procedures and tutorials online. You can also purchase books that provide easy to understand procedures for beginners. If you plan to do the research yourself you will need to study many things such as the patents classification system. You will need to prepare yourself because the search can take to a number of days to weeks.

A great novelty nowadays can comprise of having a well sought after patent. The efforts of invention and the vast array of ways to manufacture or produce a new use for a distinct product can be brought to light by doing a patent search online. The first thing to do is to make a gesture that you are interested in your attempts to file a specific patent. This intent must assess that you are attested as the first inventor of the machine, product or process. In the United States this is a prerequisite in order to have your specific novelty patented.

References cited can provide helpful information on your initial query. An entire database holds classifications from the beginning of patents to the present. Prior to 1976 one should know the exact patent number to be able to have it shown on the query. Aside from doing a patent search online all patents granted are also filed in trademark libraries and offices as you can see from this https://wp.nyu.edu/dispatch/2018/11/12/inventhelp-the-vibrant-business-of-inventing/ article too.

To accommodate this request there are websites that offer a free patent search online. This helpful way can per chance show you immediate results. The specific keyword must be in line with the category. Some searches have specific syntax to follow or a recommended Boolean logic. Misspellings and abbreviations are tried and tested in this large database. APD” is usually used as an abbreviation for Application Date. To test out a query on differently spelled words a wildcard can be inserted in some patent search engines. Briefly one can replace a single letter or a part of the word with symbols. An example would be Sul*ur. This will then turn up with two connotations of the word being sulphur and sulfur.

This makes a patent search online relatively easy. Trimming down a search may also depend on the site you use. Date ranges, class or subclass and other enhanced commands imaginable may be applied. The best thing to do is also have a good idea on the relevant keywords. Developing a good list of probable and most likely have words are essential for a successful search. Some companies, such as InventHelp, do offer services for a certain fee in order to do this for you.

Press releases are a very effective way to connect with your target audience. A well written press release can bring in new clients by explaining your services and let your old clients know about any new services or announcements that your company is promoting. It is an effective way to promote sales and special offers as well. That is what they were designed to do but in recent years they have proven to be a key tool for Keyword Marketing.

Keyword Marketing and Article Marketing are strategies used by SEO companies to get their clients ranked for specific keywords. As an example, lets say that you design websites and so does the person across the street. When a potential customer goes onto the internet and types in “website design” into a search engine like Google, you will both want to have your site appear as highly as possible in the search results. Some studies have shown that if you are not on the first page of the search results then over 90% of people will never see your listing. That means that you would both want to out rank the other to get as high as possible. To get a higher ranking, you need a lot of different things on the internet like articles, press releases and websites to link back to your website using that specific search term.

So a SEO company would write a press release for your company or use one that you write and post it onto Press Release Sites. Those sites will then post and link the press release to the different parts of the internet including:

All the major search engines like Bing, Google, and Yahoo.

The major news sites will get access through the associated press which will get it in front of as many people as possible.

Social media services which will then give your press release the possibility of going viral if it generates enough interest.

It is one of the best ways to generate interest in your website and is guaranteed to provide more traffic to your site. Another great thing about press releases is that you can do them as often as you want as long as you have something that is interesting enough to announce. If you are looking for ways to boost your website in the rankings then you should consider designing a press release for your company. But, in order for your press release campaign to be effective you will need to post your press release only on premium sites, so do your research about the press release website before posting on it. Fortunately there are a lot of reviews sites where you can read the reviews about the best press release distribution services in the PR industry and finally choose your favorite one.

The real beauty of using a professionally SEO engineered press release is that it goes out to thousands of websites with embedded link backs to your website. This will help to boost your websites relevance for the keywords that are used to hyperlink back to your site’s particular landing page. This link acts as a vote signifying your site’s importance for that term. This mean a press release will keep giving you link juice for years to come.

So this is a great idea for exposure and an search engine marketing strategy.
