A patent is a type of intellectual property that protects an invention by giving the rights to the owner. The owner has the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time in exchange for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention."A picture speaks a thousand words”, the ancient adage is certainly true in the case of patent drawings in an invention. An invention is better understood by drawings in a patent. Clear and accurate drawings are very important in a patent application for the correct understanding of the invention. Drawings help to understand the environment of the product where it is used. Moreover, it helps to understand the mechanism of a product. The complex invention has also become easy to understand with the help of precise drawing depictions.Read More: https://lnkd.in/gMVkpXpd

Fun Post for Friday - As a patent attorney, I am always on the lookout for new words that can help with drafting patent applications or for other writings. Over the years, I've found many obscure words that are rarely used but are quite helpful. Here are a few:Subtend (which has 2 useful definitions) 1) "to be opposite to and extend from one side of the other of". The dictionary gives the example of a hypotenuse subtending a right angle. 2) "to fix the angular extent with respect to a fixed point or object taken as the vertex". The dictionary gives the example of a central angle subtended by an arc. For example, this could describe a wedge cut from a circle. Penultimate - "next to last". This word can be very helpful in describing processes that have a termination. Many times, the conditions for the termination are decided before the last/ultimate iteration, so this word is good to know.Undulated - "having a wavy surface, edge or markings". This word is useful for describing landscapes, such as hills. #patent #iplaw

#ViewpointinAction*Section 16 of the Indian Patents Act, 1970, deals with the power of the Controller to make orders respecting the division of a patent application1.The section lays down the principle for filing a divisional application, which can be filed voluntarily or mandatorily at any time before the grant of the parent patent application2.The section envisages two scenarios: (1) an applicant may choose to file a Divisional Application voluntarily, and (2) the applicant may file a Divisional Application mandatorily if the parent application contains more than one invention3. The provision stipulates two criteria for divisional applications: (A) the invention disclosed in the parent application has not been claimed in the parent application as filed, and (B) the parent application contains more than one independent patent claim World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO #divisionisnotagoodDriver

Throwback Thursday: IP History Edition!On this #ThrowbackThursday, let's take a journey back in time to explore the fascinating evolution of Intellectual Property (IP) law, particularly focusing on the origins of patents.Did you know?The concept of patents dates back centuries, with some of the earliest records tracing back to ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome. However, it wasn't until the 15th century in Italy that formal systems for granting exclusive rights to inventors began to emerge.Origins of Patents:1- Medieval Guilds: During the Middle Ages, skilled craftsmen organized into guilds to protect their trade secrets and techniques. Guilds played a crucial role in maintaining quality standards and preserving innovation within various industries.2- Venetian Patent Statute (1474): One of the earliest known instances of formal patent protection was introduced in Venice. The Venetian Patent Statute of 1474 granted inventors exclusive rights to their inventions for a limited period, marking a significant milestone in the history of patents.3- Statute of Monopolies (1624): In England, the Statute of Monopolies was enacted to curb monopolistic practices and grant patents only for "new manufactures." This statute laid the groundwork for modern patent law principles by emphasizing the importance of novelty and innovation.Share Your Thoughts:What do you find most interesting about the history of patents?

#founders have you ever wondered what you're paying your patent agent/attorney for?As a proxy, read the last patent draft they prepared for you. Find the material, that relates to your actual invention (not boilerplate stuff!), that makes you say to yourself "nope, I couldn't have written that" or "I wouldn't have thought of that".That is what you're paying for. Sometimes there's a lot of that. Sometimes not. Hint: your provisional patent likely has very little of that writing...so it should be inexpensive or you might consider a new approach (like drafting most of it yourself!).
