Innovation Innovating Breakthrough Invention Patent
Innovation innovating
breakthrough invention patent pertains to innovation done
to an embodiment or certain parts of prior art.
Conditions for Obtaining
an Innovation Innovating Breakthrough Invention Patent:
- Non-Obviousness - meaning
that the technology of the innovation innovating breakthrough
invention patent must be different enough from the prior
art so as to not be obvious in view of the prior art.
- Novelty - meaning that the
technology of the innovation innovating breakthrough invention
patent is not "anticipated" or identical to an invention
disclosed in a single piece of prior art.
- Utility - meaning that the
Innovation innovating breakthrough invention patent must
have a useful purpose. Virtually all Innovation innovating
breakthrough invention patent meet the utility requirement
which has largely been used to prevent the patenting of
"quack" inventions such as perpetual motion machines.
No patent protection is available
for:
- An innovation innovating breakthrough
invention patent known or used by others in the U.S. prior
to the date of invention by the Applicant.
- An innovation innovating breakthrough
invention patent or described in a printed publication anywhere
(U.S. or abroad) prior to the date of invention by the Applicant.
- An innovation innovating breakthrough
invention patent or described in a printed publication anywhere
(U.S. or abroad) more than one year prior to the U.S. filing
date of the patent application.
- An innovation innovating breakthrough
invention patent in public use in the U.S. more than one
year prior to the filing date of the patent application.
- An innovation innovating breakthrough
invention patent on sale in the U.S. more than one year
prior to the filing date of the patent application.
- An innovation innovating breakthrough
invention patent continues to be a grant of a "bundle of
rights", specifically the rights to prevent others from
- Making;
- Using;
- Selling; or
- Offering for sale the
patented invention.
No right to make, use, sell or
offer to sell the patent. A patent application must contain:
- A written description of the
invention; and
- Claims particularly pointing
out and distinctly claiming the invention.
The description is simply a detailed
account of the structure, operation, and function of the invention,
written in such terms as to "enable any person skilled in
the art to make and use" the invention.
The claims define the boundaries
of the intellectual property and must be carefully drafted
to avoid the teachings of the prior art while providing maximum
legal protection for the invention.
