It turned out to be w... more...

The way you file a patent is by filling out an application and submitting it to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a fee. Of course, patent applications are not like job applications or credit card applications. This is where you explain your invention in gross detail and have it meticulously examined by people with scientific and/or legal training. Thusly, you want to ensure that your patent application is rock solid. No corners cut. The first thing to be mindful of when f... more...

Documenting new ideas is not just good practice. It may be absolutely critical if you intend on getting a patent and then enforcing it. This is because patent laws in the United States are based on the "first to invent rule." Clause 101 of US Code 35 states: "Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefore.." What this means for you the i... more...

For 99% of inventors, filing a provisional patent is a smart decision. But what exactly is a provisional patent? What separates it from a "real patent?" The short answer is: a few hundred dollars and a lot less paperwork. But there's more to it than just that. A provisional patent is a way for you to stake your claim, to get your application into the USPTO's system, while you decide whether it would be worth it to get full patent protection. If you have ever seen a label... more...

Hollywood and popular literature tend to glorify the selfless inventor who innovates out of benevolence for mankind, with no care for personal gain. However, without the ability to commercialize new ideas, many of the world's most cherished inventions might not have come to pass. Silicon Valley venture capitalist Paul Graham concurs in his essay "How to Make Wealth." "Developing new technology is a pain in the butt. It is, as Edison said, one percent inspiration and ninet... more...

There are many misconceptions about what a patent is and is not. Many believe that patents can "protect an idea" in the sense of preventing people from acting on a concept you thought of. Others believe that mailing yourself notes and drawings is a "poor man's patent" that provides sufficient protection. In fact, patents are only granted to inventions, and the only way to achieve patent status is to apply for one and have it approved by the United States Patent and Trademark... more...

Here is a great question that should be answered. Have I registered a business name with the government?

Everyplace is different and the rules are different, according to their statutes and income tax. Here in Ontario, you can register a business name with Service Canada. You can actually do it on their website. Or you can go to a small busin... more...
