U.S. patents are an important tool for companies to enter the U.S. market and seek intellectual property protection, and by obtaining U.S. patents, inventors can protect their unique innovations in the marketplace and promote scientific and technological progress and innovative development. U.S. patents provide protection and incentives for inventors, while also promoting scientific and technological and economic development. In order to apply for a patent in the United States and be protected by U.S. law, it is necessary to meet the requirements of novelty, originality and applicability, which are manifested in the following ways:
Novelty of U.S. Patents:
The U.S. is very strict about patent applications, and the invention must be new, that is, the invention cannot be publicly disclosed, used, sold, or otherwise known to others in the world before the patent is applied. Therefore, it is necessary to take confidentiality measures before applying.
Inventiveness of the U.S. Patent:
The existence of this article is to avoid the existence of multiple similarities with the existing invention of the patent application, so it is necessary to keep the patented invention independent and novel, and to avoid the similarity with the existing invention to avoid the rejection of the application.
U.S. PatentedPracticality:
The new invention must have a certain degree of practicality, that is, it can be manufactured, even used, or to some extent achieve its stated purpose, that is, it can play a certain function or useful effect in practical application.
In addition to satisfying the above requirements, a U.S. patent application allows multiple people to jointly file a patent as joint inventors if they jointly create a new invention. It also needs to have the following characteristics:
PatentedDescriptibility:
The patent application must include a clear, detailed, and understandable description of the invention, as well as claims to the invention.
Non-obviousness:
The invention must have non-obvious properties and cannot be a simple combination or variation of the prior art. Your invention or innovation must be non-obvious, i.e., the invention is not technically obvious or expected to a person of ordinary skill. If the invention is only a minor improvement or change in the prior art, it is not enough to be considered non-obvious, so it is not eligible for a patent.
Compliance with patent lawRelevantProvisions:
The invention or innovation must comply with the rules and requirements of U.S. patent law, including, but not limited to, the scope of the subject matter of the invention, the circumvention of prohibited subject matter (e.g., a human type invention), and the filing of the application and the time limit specified.
