PATENTS AND DESIGNS
A patent is an invention of a PRODUCT or a PROCESS that has to comply with law requirements such as NOVELTY, usefulness and nonobviousness. It also provides exclusivity over the created invention. Here is MY BRAND’s method:
- ASSESSMENT of the project involving the patent
- PROTECTION of the patent
- USAGE and DEFENSE of the patent
It is important to clarify that IDEAS cannot be patented. Thus, it is important to be able to demonstrate through corresponding documents that it complies with novelty.
Industrial designs are the result of a DESIGN PROCESS that protects FORMS and aesthetic aspects (whereas patents protect its functionality). Since the design needs to be NEW, any previous publication of the form can affect its protection. Here is MY BRAND’s method:
- ASSESSMENT of the project involving the design
- CLEARANCE search of the design
- PROTECTION of the design
- USAGE and DEFENSE of the design
