June 14, 2011 Intellectual Property news in Pacific Grove,California, United States of America

The USPTO will likely abandon the "First to Invent" and adopt the "First to File" for inventions. It is important for Intellectual Property managers to get familiar with the Provisional Patent Process




FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pacific Grove, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) June 14, 2011 -- On June 14, 2011 Congress will vote on H.R. 1249 that is designed to change the USPTO to the "First to File" from it's present "First to Invent" status. What this means is that the USA would then be on par with nearly every country on the planet if the bill passes. As such, I want to show you how to protect your inventive idea on the budget of a Pauper by using the Provisional Patent Application Process.

What this means to inventors is there will no longer be a "need" to keep Inventor's Workbooks for the purpose of proving you were the first to invent the idea. Instead, if you have an inventive idea then it will be your obligation to file a patent application if you want to "own" the inventive art. You can do this because a Provisional Patent Application is designed to allow for speedy filing.

Very few inventors are aware of the Provisional Patent Application, PPA, because it has only been around since 1995. What the PPA does for the inventor is provide a means to file a PPA online for only $110. The PPA is also not reviewed by the USPTO and is ONLY called upon when you elect to convert your PPA to a Non Provisional Patent, NPP, within 12 months. Additionally, the PPA is not public information. As of December 2010 an inventor may even file for an extension giving them a total of 24 months of protection before having to file the NPP. This was mandated by Congress because they discovered many inventors needed more than 12 months to arrange for business relationships or financing to convert the PPA to the NPP.

Since the PPA only costs $110 to file and can be filed online WITHOUT the use of an attorney it means nearly ANY inventor can play with the "Big Boys" . The absolute beauty of the PPA is that the inventor has 1 year to get their ducks in a row and usually end up not having to pay for the conversion to a NPP because the "buyer" has the funds to move forward as required.

The PPA was designed to be "easy" to file but as with most Government processes it is not. It is just about as "easy" filing a PPA as it is to file the 1040 EZ tax forms, but the PPA has some "tricky" elements that are necessary to include if you want to reap the greatest benefit when you convert your PPA to an NPP. To learn some of these elements you can Google "USPTO Provisional Patent" to land on the official USPTO website. To fill in what they the USPTO leaves out you can Google "Provisional Patent Video Course" or click on the link in the signature.

Neither patent attorneys or the Examiners at USPTO are too willing to give important pointers when filing your PPA. Below is some language you might consider to add to the end of your PPA should you choose to file it yourself. The language deals with Variations as below:


VARIATIONS

It is contemplated that any optional feature of the inventive variations described may be set forth and claimed independently, or in combination with any one or more of the features described herein. Reference to a singular item, includes the possibility that there is a plurality of the same items present.

More specifically, as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," "said," and "the" include plural referents unless specifically stated otherwise. In other words, use of the articles allow for "at least one" of the subject item in the description above as well as the claims below. It is further noted that the claims may be drafted to exclude any optional element. As such, this statement is intended to serve as antecedent basis for use of such exclusive terminology as "solely," "only" and the like in connection with the recitation of claim elements, or use of a "negative" limitation.

Without the use of such exclusive terminology, the term "comprising" in the claims shall allow for the inclusion of any additional element irrespective of whether a given number of elements are enumerated in the claim, or the addition of a feature could be regarded as transforming the nature of an element set forth in the claims. Except as specifically defined herein, all technical and scientific terms used herein are to be given as broad a commonly understood meaning as possible while maintaining claim validity. The breadth of the present invention is not to be limited to the examples provided and/or the subject specification, but rather only by the scope of the claim language.

Use of the term “invention” herein is not intended to limit the scope of the claims in any manner. Rather it should be recognized that the “invention” includes the many variations explicitly or implicitly described herein, including those variations that would be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the present specification. Further, it is not intended that any section of this specification (e.g., the Summary, Detailed Description, Abstract, Field of the Invention, etc.) be accorded special significance in describing the invention relative to another or the claims. All references cited are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Although the foregoing invention has been described in detail for purposes of clarity of understanding, it is contemplated that certain modifications may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims.


In closing, my message to folks with an inventive idea is to file a provisional patent application and THEN engage with folks to license or sell. Even if you need to file another PPA your initial idea will have a good level of protection. With this strategy one can file a PPA on the budget of a Pauper.
