Summary

In this video, the speaker from Renmart, a registered IP consultancy, explains the concept of patents and the requirements for patentability. They outline the three key criteria: novelty, inventiveness, and industrial applicability. The speaker further discusses the differences between regular patents and utility models, including the duration of protection and costs. A specific example of a wind fan invention is used to illustrate how to evaluate whether an invention can be patented. The video emphasizes the importance of conducting patent searches, both domestically and internationally, to ensure an invention is novel and patentable.

Takeaways

• 😀 Patents are a form of intellectual property that protect inventions, particularly in the field of technology.
• 😀 To be granted a patent, an invention must meet three key requirements: novelty, inventiveness, and industrial applicability.
• 😀 Novelty means the invention must be new or a development of something existing.
• 😀 Inventiveness refers to the technical solution or function provided by the invention, which must not be obvious.
• 😀 Industrial applicability means the invention must be able to be used in industry.
• 😀 There are two types of patents: standard patents and simple patents.
• 😀 The main difference between standard patents and simple patents is the number of claims: a standard patent can have multiple claims, while a simple patent has only one.
• 😀 Standard patents offer protection for 20 years, while simple patents last for 10 years and cannot be extended.
• 😀 A key point in patenting is determining what part of the invention is being claimed, especially if it's an improvement or modification of an existing product.
• 😀 Patent searches should be done to ensure the invention is truly novel and hasn't been patented already, with global searches being important (e.g., WIPO, PDK).

Q & A

What is a patent?

A patent is a type of intellectual property that grants exclusive rights over an invention, typically in the field of technology. It protects the inventor's invention if it meets certain conditions of patentability.

What are the three key criteria for an invention to be patentable?

The three criteria for patentability are: 1) Novelty (the invention must be new or an improvement on existing technology), 2) Inventive step (the invention should involve a technical solution that was not obvious), and 3) Industrial applicability (the invention must be applicable in industry).

What is the difference between a regular patent and a simple patent?

The main differences are: Regular patents have multiple independent claims and provide protection for 20 years, while simple patents have a single claim and provide protection for only 10 years. Simple patents cannot be extended.

Why can’t patents be extended after their protection period ends?

Patents cannot be extended because inventions evolve over time. After the protection period (usually 10 or 20 years), the invention may no longer be new, as there may have been advancements or developments in the technology.

What are the costs associated with patents?

The cost for obtaining a patent can vary. For example, there are different fees depending on whether it's a regular or simple patent. Additionally, the time taken for the patent process also affects the overall cost.

Can an invention such as a fan without electricity or energy be patented?

Yes, a fan without electricity or energy can be patented, but the key is to focus on the innovation or development that makes the fan work without electricity. This new solution must meet the requirements for patentability, such as novelty and inventive step.

What should be done before filing a patent application?

Before filing a patent application, it's crucial to conduct a patent search to check whether the invention is new and hasn't been disclosed or patented previously. This can be done through databases like WIPO or local patent offices.

What does the patent search process involve?

A patent search involves checking existing patents to see if the invention is novel. This includes searching both domestic and international patent databases to ensure the invention has not been disclosed or patented elsewhere.

How does the concept of 'novelty' apply to patent applications?

Novelty means that the invention must be new and not have been disclosed or made public before the patent application. If an invention has already been patented or disclosed, it will not meet the novelty requirement and cannot be patented.

How does the development of mobile phones relate to patents?

The development of mobile phones shows how patenting works for technological advancements. For instance, the touch screen technology in phones wasn't patented as a phone itself but as a new technological solution, demonstrating that the focus of a patent is on specific technological advancements rather than entire products.
