- “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries.” United States Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 8
- R&D, Innovation and Patents • Why innovate? • Investor perspective: odds of return, scale of return, time to money • Patents: do they encourage or thwart innovation? • What if … • Causation vs. correlation • Startups + patents = jobs and economic growth
- Software and Business Methods • Tremendous uncertainty • The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) – 2011 • Eligibility – specific improvement or abstract idea? • Software patents • Business methods – special issues
- Common Mistakes • Thinking it’s obvious / not worth patenting • Contacting an invention promotion company • Creating your own “prior art” • Waiting too long to protect • Filing too soon • Over reliance on provisional patent filings • Not having a goal / knowing end game • Underestimating capital needs, time to execute, people & business issues
