patent new invention
Normally, the number one reason why people perform patent searches and read patent documents is to determine whether an invention idea has already been patented by someone else. You can completely ignore the hidden treasures that are also used in previously published patent documents. If you have an idea for an invention, then the probability that someone thinks outside the box. Why there? you not only to himself thinking outside the box only if the invention. thinking outside the box when deciding how to information use in recent patent documents, the chances of success with your own invention as well as to other possibilities to make money. Here I will show you creative ways to use information contained in previously issued patent documents, including the funding, which in turn some of the information in gold. But I will not show you any way you can use the information in patent documents. You can look at new opportunities that you never thought before. We go further and take a look at four possible ways to using information in previously published patent documents.

1. If you get a patent attorney or agent, providing you with the patenting process, why not for the names and addresses of law firms or patent attorneys, see patent document when conducting a patent search. If the address is not specified, a kind of Google search with the information that is listed. Of course, just because a company may have already dealt with the patentability of an invention as you does not necessarily mean they are right for you. Do you know a good source to find out whether you should be using the same law firm or patent attorney? How about in an interview with the inventor on the patent? That's right, call the inventor, introduce yourself and say: "I am in the process of getting a patent for an invention. I have to find a good reputable agent to help me, that the cost of an adequate level. I understand you so and so. Would you? "" In order to view the contact information of the inventor, a search tool such as www.whitepages.com. Be aware that sometimes the inventor on the patent are in the order of a company and is not responsible for hiring the lawyer or broker, that the patent will be handled. In this case, it would not be appropriate to contact the inventor. This kind of rules and a possible way of identifying them in detail later.

2. From previous patents you can also include a list of successors who are interested in licensing your invention. The assignee of the patent document is a person or a company that was not the inventor, but the owner or co-owner of the patent. Most patents that list are legal successors, in which the inventor, or inventors work for a company in the research and development department. Under the employment contract, the company has rights to an invention by the employee. Patent documents, based on this type of arrangement are sometimes easy to spot. Some characters are possible, if several are inventors on the patent and the invention is very technical. Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to determine. If it is not obvious, you need only call and ask. Even if the creditor is a company that has a department for research and development, that does not mean that they are not interested in licensing your invention. Since they have already shown that they are in business with products such as you, they can also be your invention to their product line. If the creditor is a natural person, it is difficult to determine why there is a transfer. You will never really know if you can call and ask. Make a list of the successors and at the right time, not be afraid to contact them. If you do not have a patent, from which the information about your invention make sure to protect by a non-disclosure or similar type of protection agreement signed.

3. Believe it or not, valuable information can be found on a patent specification is the name and address of the inventor. (I'm the inventor, that the work in a private and not as an employee of a company.) The inventor of a product as you can be a goldmine of information for you. Most people are afraid of contact with the inventor of them think like a competitor, but I tell you, it's worth the risk to the phone hung up on you. Besides, you would be surprised how friendly most people really are and how willing they are to advise you and share their experiences. Tap into the knowledge that they are distinguished by their experience. There is some people do not want to communicate with you, but I will say it again, you will never know until you ask! If you decide to contact an inventor remember you are there to collect information, not give. If they begin to ask questions that you do not feel comfortable answering simple say something like "I know you understand why I can not share that information because I do not have a patent yet." "Most people will understand and not be offended. They come to people who do not have the success with their invention and will try to give you. This is where you need a thick skin. Listen to what they say, because they can with the information that you really need to consider, but not let them steal your dream simply because they do not. The reason for the failure may not apply to you. By the way, you can capitalize on their failure. Read number four below and you will see what I mean.

4. In a patent search, if it turns out that someone else already has a patent on the idea, the tendency is that people make. But the search for a previous patent on an invention idea does not necessarily mean the game is over. The patent may be alive and well, but the inventor of the drive and enthusiasm for their invention is not the case. They have given up trying to earn money their invention. Let me explain. Unfortunately, many people believe that if a patent for their invention, the money will virtually start rolling, you have linked the idea of holding a patent to be similar to winning the lottery. They believe that everything they have to do the patent, some big companies, license their patent to one, then sit back and wait for the checks. If this does not happen, they see themselves, to the execution of the business. These include the payment for the production and the cost of marketing to say the least. Given this thought, some people will be discouraged and give up. There is no telling how many good inventions already patented gather dust in garages across America for this reason. I'm talking about inventions that have real potential for tons of money, if properly treated. To make this happen, do you read "money with your invention, Not Dust" by Jack Lander. For inventions where the inventor has abandoned, it would be possible, the rights to such an invention for little money and market-it-yourself ? bet you would! Some people are happy again only the cost of their patent. Others may prefer a small piece of the pie. I'm talking about a very small piece. However, there are those who prefer to let the ship sink, as someone else make money from their baby.

Before you talk with someone about the rights to their invention, you must perform the following:

Upon receipt of utility, maintenance fees must be paid to the patent from expiring. This is the case when the utility patent was granted on or after 12 December 1980. Maintenance fees are the latest by the end of years 4, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. from the date the patent was granted for the patent to remain in force. If the maintenance is not paid each time is due, the patent will expire and is no longer in force. However, there is a grace period after the due date, where the maintenance fee may be paid, together with other re-instatement fees, and the patent will be reinstated.

So, if you determine that your invention has already been patented, or you find something that is interesting for you, and you have never seen it on the market, with the inventor and find out what is going on. Are indeed higher. Tell the person you may be interested in purchasing their patent and find out what it would be for them to bring it with you. Make sure they know you are a private person and not a large company. You will be surprised how many patents you can pick up. By the way, I recommend setting a solicitor to check the status of the patent, the cost of restoration, maintenance and other fees, prepare all contracts and advice in relation to patents you are interested in purchasing. I'm no lawyer and I'm not giving you any legal or professional advice.

As I mentioned earlier, are just a few ways you can use information from patent documents. Do not just on the way presented here. Be creative. Find the gold, that all others with a view to!

Now get up, get out and invent something. I'm ready for you, for my life easier with your invention!
