Patents entitle their owners and licensees to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale or selling the covered inventions.
Why Patent?
Owners of patents can use them to protect market share, increase profit margins and improve returns on investment. Patentees can get their damages, and in the case of design patents, your profits too, plus attorney’s fees and costs and a trebling of the damage award if the infringement was willful. Patent infringement should be avoided whenever possible.
In other words as a patent owner, you can make more money, longer. As an infringer, you can lose your shirt.
Patent protection should be considered for significant products and processes with significant commercial potential, not every innovation. Even if you cannot afford to manufacture and distribute the invention yourself, a patent can create a very satisfying revenue stream through licensing.
How do you get a Patent?
The first step toward profiting from patents is to evaluate the economic value of the invention against the scope of the potentially allowable claims, and the cost of obtaining the patent. This process involves obtaining a disclosure of the invention and conducting a patentability search.
Patent preparation involves describing and claiming the broadest scope for the disclosed invention with a mind to distinguishing all known prior inventions. Prosecution involves trying to convince the Patent Office Examiners to allow the patent to issue in the broadest available form.
Interferences before the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences and appeals before the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit can be used to overcome objections to patentability and to invalidate patents issued to others.
