uspto new patent
law school since I have been asked about the" Poor Man's Patent ". "And ever since then the answer is the same now as it was then: There is no such thing. According to the" Poor Man's Patent ", writes just the inventor of his invention on paper and sends it to himself in the e -mail. Supposedly, this sealed envelope with the date of the postmark will mean the date of the invention and is somehow under monopoly rights in the invention. The idea of a "Poor Man's Patent" "is a myth, with the continued patience of the urban legends like Elvis and UFOs observations. This sounds urban legends "truthy" but spacious.
The only way to protect the novelty of an invention such as novel devices, business methods and unique designs on the patent, a patent application. Well, it is true that the introduction of a reduction in the time of practice is important, in some cases, a "Poor Man's Patent" is probably not the right way to go. A better method for setting a date of invention is a laboratory - notebook. In this laboratory notebook, the inventor would record his experiments, date and sign it in each entry. However, you should note that a laboratory notebook does not enter either patent. It would simply be a moment of conception or reduction on the practice of the invention, which play an important role in the later patent or patent disputes.
Well, if someone is looking for the cheapest way to protect intellectual property, copyright may be in a few cases. An example source code or object code in the software. Since software code is protected under both copyright and patent law, copyright registration could be some laws protecting intellectual property. However, you should note that the $ 45 registration fee does not protect against reverse-engineering and other various exhibition, which does not fully protect your invention. Note that copyright law does not protect inventions such as machines, new methods, etc., copyright protects only the expression of ideas, and not the underlying ideas are.
