You have an idea and want to secure a patent for it, but you don't know how to turn ideas into patents.
But then some people draw enjoyment telling you that IDEAS are NOT PATENTABLE.
You get discouraged and decide to give up.
Hey! Wait! Wait!
Don't give up so easily, and let me tell you that though it is correct that ideas are not patent-eligible, this is not the end of the universe, and there certainly are sure-shot ways to transform ideas into patents—in fact, all inventions are first conceived as ideas, or no invention was ever manifested without an idea.
Let me start with why ideas are not patentable!🔥
The whole motive behind creating a patent ecosystem is to promote the progress of science and technology by rewarding ingenuine innovations. Imagine a situation where a patent was granted for an idea. In such a case, others won't be able to assess the boundaries of said idea and everything seems to come under the purview of said idea, a sense of ambiguity would prevail, and the spirit of promoting science and technology would die down.
Agree?
So, if an idea is not patentable, what do we need to do to make it patentable and transform it into a tangible IP asset or Patent?
Read on...
🚀Concrete Implementation: To be eligible for a patent, ideas must be more than just a vague concept or thought. It must have at least one specific manifestation or embodiment that describes the invention in sufficient detail such that others can understand it and practice it for further improvements. For instance, nobody has ever got a patent for the abstract idea of a vehicle that helps travel to the moon. But, you will applaud that our very own #ISRO has many patents for the propulsion system, for the lander, for the rover, and embedded technologies been used in their space missions such as the #chandrayan3, the #aditya missions.
🚀Specificity: Patent applications must include a focused and detailed description of the invention, including how it works, how differently it works, how it can be made, and how it can be practiced. An idea that lacks specificity or detail is unlikely to meet the requirements for a patent.
Besides this the usual cocktail of 🚀Novelty 🚀Inventive Step🚀Utility: Patentable inventions must be new, inventive, and should have some utility. Merely having an idea that others have already implemented or disclosed in the public domain does not qualify for a patent. The idea must represent a new and non-obvious solution to a technical problem.
If you or your knowns have ideas, don’t overthink and get them transformed into valuable #PATENTS.
The field of patent analysis/analytics has immense potential for high-paying jobs and freelancing opportunities. By honing your skills in prior art search and patent analytics, you can position yourself as a valuable asset in the engineering and science industries.
If you are excited about Prior Art Search and Patent Analytics and willing to explore career opportunities, I can train you.
I have developed specialized programs to crisply train with a good amount of hands-on experience in the field of prior art search and patent analytics. Let me tell you, sample prior art search and analytics tasks/assignments follow once you complete the online program, wherein I work together with my students and share feedback for their holistic learning.
I aim to enable my students to learn IP skills so that they are confident about the techniques essential for conducting prior art searches and patent analytics.
I am confident that after learning from my programs, students can rise above the FRESHER tag and apply confidently as other experienced applicants do, and easily onboard high-paying jobs (or start freelancing).
Not only I train you, but I’ll also assist you with job openings and setting up your freelancing.
