  1. Some Common Patent Myths to Ensure Your Patent Rights! By: Unified Patents

  2. Myths to Ensure Your Patent Rights! • There are so many misconceptions about patents which make the decision making even tougher. It is always advised to consult an attorney to clear any doubts regarding patents as not contacting an attorney may result in not filing for a patent and eventually losing out on your invention to a patent dispute case in the future!

  3. 4 Myths Busted Regarding Patents • Myth 1: One Can Only Patent Fresh Ideas • Myth 2: Your Patent Can Prevent Copy • Myth 3: Your Patent is Recognized Worldwide • Myth 4: Patent Searches are Effortless

  4. Myth 1: One Can Only Patent Fresh Ideas • This is the biggest misconception that people have regarding patents. It is very true that a new and fresh idea is the ideal candidate for filing a patent. However, this does not mean any new advancement or improvement is deprived of a patent right. For example, someone owns a patent regarding the creation of a certain type of sweet but you add something to it and change its flavor completely. So, this new experiment is liable for a patent!

  5. Myth 2: Your Patent Can Prevent Copy • If you are thinking to relax after getting your patent because no one is going to use it, let us brief you with the same. A patent does not stop anyone from using your invention, technology or anything. Relax! There is a definite solution to it as for patent infringement; you always have the option of filing a patent dispute case. It depends greatly on the law system of a country as in a nation with a strict law; it is less likely for the people to copy or use a patent.

  6. Myth 3: Your Patent is Recognized Worldwide • Sadly for patent owners, this is just not true! Each and every country has its limitations against patent rights. This means if you are getting a patent for your country, you cannot stop a person from using your invention or idea in a different country. However, when you register a patent under WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), it protects your patent in almost 140 countries.

  7. Myth 4: Patent Searches are Effortless • This is not true. Due to the availability of patent databases over the internet, a lot of people think that searching a patent from the database is a cakewalk. However, this is not true as it is a complex procedure and requires professional help. For example, a patent named ‘US29672774A’ represents something and explains its usage. Do you think getting it out a vast patent database is easy? It is recommended to hire a patent searching expert just as it is recommended to hire an attorney for a patent dispute case.
