Expert Author: Vinay Choubey | Summary A patent is a document issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office located in Arlington, Virginia, that grants to an inventor the legally enforceable right to exclude others from making, selling, distributing or using an invention in the U.S. territory. Expert Author: Vinay Choubey | Summary According to the law, only the inventor may apply for a patent, with certain exceptions. If a person who is not the inventor should apply for a patent, the patent, if granted, would be invalid. Further, the person who falsely states that he/she is the inventor in the Declaration or Oath which is submitted with the application would also be subject to criminal penalties. Expert Author: Abigail Franks | Summary One of the first things to do when you have an idea is to write it down. Documentation is the most important step you can make to in securing future rights to your idea. The documentation needs to be in a tight bound or engineering type notebook. These are like a basic school notebook that pages cannot be added. It's also a good idea to get a notebook that it's also difficult and noticeable if any pages are removed. Expert Author: Abigail Franks | Summary Once you have your product developed it's time to decide if a patent is worth the trouble. Although in theory, all good ideas should be protected by a patent. Consider the protection however as only the right to allow you to claim the technology, product or ideas as your own. YOU get to do all the protecting. So if you develop a product then someone steals the idea and goes into competition with you, you have the right to sue and defend your patent rights. Expert Author: Danny Wirken | Summary The value of freedom in a country is priceless. If one country has freedom of speech and thought then they are sure to have a bright future ahead of them.

Expert Author: Robert Michael | Summary If you've created something unique and something you believe to be marketable the subject of patents should be of immense interest to you.

Expert Author: Masni Rizal Mansor | Summary There is one kind of home business that is very different to any other: that of the inventor. If you've invented something, the chances are that you don't have the resources to mass-produce it yourself - you'll be needing to send the plans and designs off to someone else to make in their factory.
