Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Design patents differ from utility patents in that a design patent covers only the ornamental appearance of a useful product. The design patent, therefore, covers what the product looks like, not what it is or what it does, and therefore cannot be used for anything which does not have an ornamental appearance. Design patents can, however, be granted on new versions of old classes of products, if they have unique and innovative appearances as compared with the prior products in that class. For instance, bottles as a class are old, but a newly designed bottle which has a unique and distinctive shape or decoration may be the subject of a design patent. The design elements which are claimed to be unique and distinctive must be ornamental and not functional in the structure of the product. Elements of a product's design which have an appearance dictated by the operation or structure of the product are functional and must be ignored in determining what is a patentable design. For instance, a shoe must have a certain basic shape to fit one's foot, so anything ornamental about a shoe design must be something more than just the basic functional shoe shape. Design patents, since they are directed to the product's ornamental appearance, are composed almost entirely of drawings of the product showing different views of the product's appearance. The minimal text in the specification merely identifies each figure in the drawings, and there is only a single claim which is in wording dictated by the USPTO - 3 - rules. Examination of a design patent application involves the Examiner's comparison of the appearance of the claimed design with the appearances of similar designs of previous products. Any prior product which looks similar to the claimed product may affect the patentability of design of the claimed product, even though the old and new products may be intended for different uses. Design patents have a term of 14 years from the date of the patent's issuance. Plant patents are a small category of patents which protect certain types of plants, such as flowers, fruits, shrubs and vines. A plant patent consists of a text describing the botanical characteristics of the plant, including size, flower and leaf colors and shapes, growth habit, and growing seasons and locations. It also includes color photographs or paintings of the plant and a single formalized claim. The inventor is the person who has first reproduced and grown the plant. Plant patents have a term of 20 years from the initial filing date of the first patent application from which the patent claims priority. About 10,000 plant patents have been issued.
  2. Provisional: More detail: When technology is cutting edge or hot market or competitive market. Then likelihood of prior art becoming available during that year is high, so reliance on sufficiency of provisional is high. Less detail: Slower markets, older technologies, etc.
  3. Specification, Claims, Prosecution: This is why choosing a patent attorney is important. You must choose wisely.
  4. Indirect market exclusivity is patenting products that might compete with your product (patent thickets). Direct exclusivity is prevent others from making, using, selling your product. Intangible Property Asset: Monetary worth of patents. Commodity and fungible as stocks. Mergers and Acquisitions. Many Valuation Models exist. USPTO: IP in the U.s. is worth about $5.5 trillion (greater than GDP of all countries but China). Probably low estimate as Google paid $900 million for Nortel patent portfolio just last month. 80% of corporate assets are intangible. Coca-cola: Stock value = $160 billion Physical assets = $20 billion Intangible assets = $140 billion
  5. Others: Short Term of Protection
  6. Don’t Go Big Just to Go Big Don’t Go Small Just to Go Small
  7. These are effectively petitions to accelerate examination: to be placed at front of line and examined quickly. PPH, Green, Age, Health, do not require Accelerated Examination Requirements. Allowance rate of 80.3% versus 42% overall. I.  
  8. $4,000 may be reduced for small entities if Patent Reform Passes: fee setting authority Slow track may be split up into application stage, search stage, and examination stage Goal is to get pendency for normal application down from 36 months to 20 months. Bob Stoll (Commissioner for Patents) and Dave Kappos (Director of USPTO): Patent attorneys
