Description
Patent Protection for Inventors, Programmers, Startups, Entrepreneurs, etc.
Learn about patent protection laws to ensure that your new ideas / inventions are adequately protected under the law.
Are somebody who wants to:
– identify which new ideas / inventions can be protected by patent laws?
– ensure your inventions / creations are adequately protected?
– know what action to take to register a patent?
– Understand what action can be taken to challenge a breach of Patent Protection Law?;
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, learning about Patent Protection Laws shall give you peace of mind that your innovative new ideas / inventions are adequately protected, and know what action you can take where your patent has been used without your permission.
The global technology market is estimated to be worth in the region of $12 trillion. AI and Machine Learning alone has emerged as the fastest growing market, with spending on cognitive and AI systems estimated to increase to $50 billion in 2021. The technology market, on the whole, has therefore facilitated the proliferation of new ideas / inventions around the globe. However, in order for inventors to protect a new idea, that person must register the new idea / invention as a patent. Qualifying for patent protection can be difficult given that there are strict criteria in place that must be satisfied. Nonetheless, once an inventor has obtained patent protection, this shall provide the holder of the patent (i.e. be it a founder of a startup, entrepreneur, programmer, or anyone else) with adequate protection under the law to ensure that they are rewarded for their innovation and hard work.
However, patent laws differ from one country to the next and region-to-region. Therefore, understanding what things can and or cannot be protected, the extent of the protection afforded, and the steps to take to ensure one’s ideas / inventions are adequately protected nationally, regionally and worldwide, and the action that can be taken where a patent holder’s protection has been infringed, can be difficult for those who are not familiar the law in this area.
