18. 12-18 Patents ◦ A patent is a grant from the federal government conferring the rights to exclude others from making, selling, or using an invention for the term of the patent. (See the next slide for a full explanation) Increasing Interest in Patents ◦ There is increasing interest in patents. ◦ Since Patent #1 was granted in 1790, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted over six million patents. ◦ The patent office is strained. It now takes an average of 29.1 months from the date of first filing to receive a U.S. patent. 4.5. Intellectual Properties

19. 12-19 4.5. Intellectual Properties Proper Understanding for What a Patent Means A patent does not give its owner the right to make, use, or sell an invention: rather, the right granted is only to exclude others from doing so. As a result, if an inventor obtains a patent for a new kind of computer chip, and the chip would infringe on a prior patent owned by Intel, the inventor has no right to make, use, or sell the chip. To do so, the inventor would need to obtain permission from Intel. Intel may refuse permission, or ask that a licensing fee be paid for the rights to infringe on its patent. While this system may seem odd, it is really the only way the system could work. Many inventions are improvements on existing inventions, and the system allows the improvements to be (patented) and sold, but only with the permission of the original inventors, who usually benefit by obtaining licensing income in exchange for their consent.

20. 12-20 Trademarks Trademark ◦ A trademark is any word, name, symbol, or device used to identify the source or origin of products or services and to distinguish those products or services from others. ◦ Trademarks also provide consumers with useful information. ◦ For example, consumers know what to expect when they see an Abercrombie & Fitch store. ◦ Think how confusing it would be if any retail store could use the name Abercrombie & Fitch.

23. 12-23 4.5. Intellectual Properties Trade Secrets ◦ A trade secret is any formula, pattern, physical device, idea, process, or other information that provides the owner of the information with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. ◦ Trade secrets include marketing plans, product formulas, financial forecasts, employee rosters, logs of sales calls, and similar types of proprietary information. ◦ The Federal Economic Espionage Act, passed in 1996, criminalizes the theft of trade secrets.

24. 1) Set a goal, dream, imagine! Do not limit yourself by existing science, theories or other's beliefs. 2) Write it down! Keep your journal or “inventor's notebook” with all your goals and ideas. 3) Experiment, develop, modify and construct your invention. So...how does one go about inventing? 4) Keep your ideas, inventions and creations confidential, secret.
