 | Improve Your Chances of Obtaining a Patent by Demonstrating the "Wow Factor |
 catherine writes "in Your Application ... By Jackie Hutter
A strong majority of people seeking patent protection to protect their products or technology leave the details the drafting process to their patent attorneys. That is, given the specialized (and, frankly, arcane) nature of the patenting process, even highly accomplished business professionals believe that a patent specialist (i.e., attorney or agent) is better equipped to understand how to best describe their invention to the US Patent Office ("USPTO"). This can be an ineffective way to handle the front end of the patenting process because it can result in the process being more contentious. Such contentiousness can result in narrower claims than desired and can make the patent take longer to issue and make the process considerably more expensive."

| Papers: Protecting and Maximizing the Value of Intellectual Property in Business |
|
catherine writes " BY JOSHUA J SPIEGEL
A company is only as valuable as its most valuable assets and these days a significant percentage of a company's inherent value is derived from its intellectual property ("IP").
The steps taken by a company to identify, maintain, and secure its IP will have a major impact on its overall operation, including its ability to attract investors, enter into certain business relationships and transactions, and ultimately command what it deems to be a fair valuation upon a merger or sale of the business.

| Papers: Invention Ideas ........ |
catherine writes "Do I Need a Patent Before Selling Invention Ideas to Big Companies?
By Jason Gallion
Having invention ideas protected by a patent gives the patent owner definite legal rights. A patent agent or lawyer can inform you of those patent invention rights. Invention ideas that are not protected by a patent or that are not patentable may be used liberally by anyone. This may decrease the invention commercial value. For this one reason some companies view patent protection key for their own invention ideas and for invention ideas submitted to them. Therefore, those companies may expect inventors submitting inventions to them to seek invention patent rights issued by a patent just as any company would be required to protect their own invention ideas."

catherine writes "Many people are surprised to learn there is no international copyright law. Yes, that is right.

| Papers: How To Avoid Copyright Infringement....By Richard Cunningham |
|
catherine writes "Copyright infringement is not an easy thing to explain. While it may seem as simple as not using someone else’s work, it’s not that easy. Thanks to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and many other organizations, we have the ability to use others’ works -- as long as we use it under Fair Use laws. So what does Fair Use have to do with copyright infringement, and how can you utilize it? "
