WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES? INVENTIONS An invention is a new product or process that solves a technical problem But, check out that the definition does not include the value of its usefulness!!!. For example, this toothbrush is a new product but due to its shape it doesn’t seem to be very useful, does it? Or the digital fork Do you imagine a restaurant to put this kind of objects on the tables? … Niether do I. 3. 0

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES? INNOVATIONS If a new product or object gives a certain and real use, it offers a VALUE. Then, it becomes an INNOVATION!! REMEMBER!! An innovation is any change that, based on 3. 0 knowledge, gives value

It could be said as a consequence of this example, that the publication of patents stimulates the technological development of the Society. 3. 0 Antonio Meucci (1808– 1889), inventor of the telephone

How can you know if something you have invented , have already been developed? BY DOING A PREVIOUS RESEARCH BY MEANS OF SEARCHES AND QUERIES IN THE SPECIFIC DATABASES AND IN THE INTERNET Does any patent database exist where to be able to check if your invention or innovation hasn’t been recorded as an invention in the State of the Art?

Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Search by keyword or by technological class Search by keyword Search by technological class • Patent applicators do not use a common language because of – Legal situations – Scope of the protection – Hide some information to competitors by using generic nouns. • Each patent is classified by patent experts and professionals. • It’s difficult to find the appropriate keywords. • Descriptions of classes are written to be easily detected and understood. • To obtain good results, it’s needed professional experience in patent searches. • It’s need not very high qualification or experience. 3. 0 • The Classification Index is hierarchical and very detailed. This allows to deepen gradually the search. • BUT: The Classification Index classes do not cover your needs at 100%.
