S13 E9 Building a Strong Bridge: Understanding the Importance of Patent Claims
Patents are like a bridge. In student STEM competitions, small bridges are built by students and then tested with weights to see which bridge will hold the most weight before breaking. Patents are not “weight tested” until they are litigated, and the defendant tries to break the patent. Some patents will break easily, and others do not break.
When your business is relying on the strength of a patent to gain advantages in the marketplace, knowing if your patent is weak or strong can help you make good business decisions and not waste money on battles that you will not win.
If you're a small business owner or entrepreneur looking to protect your inventions, be sure to subscribe to our podcast and book a call with us to discuss your patent strategy.
What you need to know Know what makes a patent strong or weak and how to see the difference. Understand the patent rights in your patent claims before they are final and cannot be easily changed. Know what a patent covers and what it does not cover by reading the claims. Mistakes to look for when your attorney is drafting a patent application.
What you need to do Conduct a patentability search to determine whether your invention is eligible for a utility patent and then discuss with your patent attorney what can and cannot be covered based on the search results. Work with a patent attorney to draft a detailed utility patent application that includes strong patent claims. Read the patent claims BEFORE the patent is filed, and ask questions about the claims and what they cover. You can make your patent stronger by asking questions and guiding your attorney.
