  1. How to Patent Your Invention

  2. How do you patent my invention? There are two main types of patents, utility patents and design patents. A utility patent is granted to protect how an invention works, its uses, and its methods of production. A design patent protects the ornamental design of a product. To apply for a patent, you must have a working prototype of your idea. Said another way, in order to secure a patent on your new product, you must show a product being made, by your specific method of invention, or that your proposed product is similar to or may be used in the future by others in ways not yet described.

  3. What are some good examples of inventions that were patented? THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PATENTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE (UKIPO). SOME OF THOSE PATENTS ARE FOR INVENTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AND SOME OF THOSE PATENTS ARE FOR INVENTIONS THAT WERE NEVER USED AGAIN.REGARDLESS, BEING ABLE TO PATENT YOUR IDEA IS AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE TOOL FOR PROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS FROM COMPETITORS. THIS ARTICLE WILL GIVE YOU A DETAILED OVERVIEW OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATENTS YOU CAN GET FROM THE UKIPO, THE ADVANTAGES THEY PROVIDE, AND SOME TIPS ON HOW TO GO ABOUT PATENTING YOUR BUSINESS IDEA.

  4. What are the benefits of patenting an invention? A patent is a limited property right granted by the government to an inventor. It gives the inventor the exclusive right to make, use, and sell the invention for a limited time, usually 20 years. It’s an important document that can help protect your invention and give you the legal right to sue anyone who infringes on your patent. When it comes to using a patent on your business idea, knowing what you can do and what you can't do can be really important.

  5. What are the disadvantages of patenting an invention? If you decide to patent your invention, you can name yourself as the inventor on your patent, or you can name yourself and another person. For example, you can be the inventor and your business partner can be the owner of the patent. You can also name your company as the owner of the patent. Now you're technically the person who owns the patent, but not the actual product that can be sold. More on that shortly.

  6. Can I get help with applying for my own patent? You can get help with applying for your own patent by hiring a patent lawyer to help you apply for the patent. A patent lawyer will help you avoid some of the more common mistakes that people make on their own, like leaving out some key information or making the patent too broad. Some people tend to get a little too carried away when trying to think of what they want their company to do. In fact, a lot of people make ridiculous claims about "real estate for nerds" after reading the concept behind a basic application. For example, one guy even mentioned that he was suing Twitter because of an alleged infringement!
