Patents are not the only IP
 Copyrights for literary works including computer
programs and databases.
 Unregistered design rights for shape or configuration
of articles or parts of articles including
semiconductor topographies.
 Registered designs or Community designs for the
appearance of new products.
 Obligations of confidence for secret technical or
commercial information.
 Plant breeders’ rights for new plant varieties.
Patents are not for every
Business
 Most patents are never worked
 Of those patents that are worked very few cover their
costs and even fewer make serious money for their
owners.
 Patents cannot easily protect many new
technologies such as methods of doing
business, software implemented inventions and new
services.
 Once a patent is published the invention is in the
public domain even if the patent is not granted or
revoked
Patents are not for every
Business
 Many new inventions are quickly rendered obsolete
by new technical or scientific advances.
 Patents cannot be enforced outside the territories for
which they are granted.
 Patents are expensive to enforce, particularly in
common law countries like the UK, USA, India, Hong
Kong, Canada and Australia.
Devising an IP strategy
 Identify the probable income streams for your
business during your business planning period.
 Consider possible threats to those income streams
(most of which are likely to be commercial or
technical rather than legal),
 Devise counter-measures to those threats which are
more likely to be commercial or technical than legal.
 If you legal protection consider all the alternatives.
 Take out insurance or otherwise make provision for
the enforcement of your rights.

The Patent Box: Alternatives to Patents

  • 1. Liverpool Inventors Club 29 April 2013, 16:00 – 18:00 Jane Lambert
  • 2. Patents are not the only IP  Copyrights for literary works including computer programs and databases.  Unregistered design rights for shape or configuration of articles or parts of articles including semiconductor topographies.  Registered designs or Community designs for the appearance of new products.  Obligations of confidence for secret technical or commercial information.  Plant breeders’ rights for new plant varieties.
  • 3. Patents are not for every Business  Most patents are never worked  Of those patents that are worked very few cover their costs and even fewer make serious money for their owners.  Patents cannot easily protect many new technologies such as methods of doing business, software implemented inventions and new services.  Once a patent is published the invention is in the public domain even if the patent is not granted or revoked
  • 4. Patents are not for every Business  Many new inventions are quickly rendered obsolete by new technical or scientific advances.  Patents cannot be enforced outside the territories for which they are granted.  Patents are expensive to enforce, particularly in common law countries like the UK, USA, India, Hong Kong, Canada and Australia.
  • 5. Devising an IP strategy  Identify the probable income streams for your business during your business planning period.  Consider possible threats to those income streams (most of which are likely to be commercial or technical rather than legal),  Devise counter-measures to those threats which are more likely to be commercial or technical than legal.  If you legal protection consider all the alternatives.  Take out insurance or otherwise make provision for the enforcement of your rights.
