At some point in your life, a light bulb above your head shines bright, as you believe you’ve come up with something brilliant, namely an invention. But what now? How do you protect it?
Whether you want to produce and market your invention on your own, or license it to another company, the only way to profit from your invention and to guarantee that no one will steal your idea is to seek patent protection. This seminar will help you gain an understanding of patents and the process of pursuing patent protection of your inventions.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Explore the pros and cons of pursuing patent protection.
b. Understand the patent application process.
c. Identify options for patent monetization.

One Person, Many Responsibilities: An Analysis of Science and Technology Libr...John Meier
It seems to be common knowledge among library professionals that the duties of a librarian are diverse and numerous. What is not clear is how many different jobs a single librarian might be expected to perform. In the spring of 2008 I conducted a study to examine job posting on ALA JobList to see how many positions required various standard librarian tasks (reference, instruction, and collection development). I closely examined the science and technology librarian positions to count the number of responsibilities each position entailed. I found a range of between 10 and 28 separate responsibilities per job with an average of 16 different tasks per librarian. This was done by coding each job description using a consistent scheme that would quantify the various terminologies in each job posting.
I will be revisiting this study in the spring of 2009 to expand the data set and to see changes over one year. I believe it will again reflect the large number of tasks that an individual librarian is required to perform in a single job. It may also show a seeming increase in the number of responsibilities felt by many professionals in the field. This issue is very relevant to current and new professionals, who must evaluate and manage each new task they are assigned, and also to administrators in these areas, who must define job parameters and balance new services against shrinking budgets.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. “The Congress shall have the
power 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.”
U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8
4. Four types of intellectual property
• Patents
– Exclude others from making, using or selling their
invention
• Copyright
– Author’s original creative work
• Trademark
– A logo or name for a product is protected in a
particular industry and geographic region
• Trade secret
– idea or invention protected by secrecy
5. Multiple Types of Patents
• Utility patents
- functional or structural novelty
Examples: Light bulb or the “comb-over”
• Design patents
- ornamental designs
Example: An athletic shoe sole design
• Plant patents
- varieties of plants
Example: Poinsettia plant named “Eckaddis”
6.
7. Limited time
• Copyright = Life of the author + 70 years
• Utility patents = 20 years from filing date
• Design patents = 14 years from issue date
• Trademarks = Renewed as long as product in
the market
8. Exclusive rights
• Copyright = Automatically protected from
unauthorized copying, registration is not required,
but provides legal advantages
• Patent = Registration gives the right to exclude others
from making, using, or selling the invention
• Trademark = Registration gives the right to exclude
others from using the trademark in a particular
industry and the trademark must be “well known”
9. Criteria for Copyright
• Copyright
– must be original
– cannot consist solely of facts
“write a paper or a book, develop a computer program,
send an e-mail, or take a photograph, you automatically
own copyright to that work” – American Chemical
Society “What Chemists Need to Know about
Copyright”
10. Criteria for Trademarks
– can be a word, phrase, symbol or design
– must already be used in interstate commerce
http://www.licensing.psu.edu/
11. Criteria for patentability
• Utility
- must be useful, or have a use
• Novelty
- must be new (12-month grace period)
• Non-obvious
- the difference between existing art and
the invention must be sufficiently great
as to warrant a patent
12.
13. Novelty and Priority
0 month, Smith invents
+6 months, Smith publishes
+3 months, Smith files patent application (9
months)
Smiths application prevails because her
publication is within the one-year grace
period
14. Novelty and Priority
0 month, Green invents
+1 month, Smith invents
+6 months, Smith publishes
+3 months, Green files patent application (10
months after invention)
Green`s application fails because Smith`s
paper is prior art
15. Novelty and Priority
Boucher, P. (2012) Recent developments in US patent law.
Physics Today http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/PT.3.1397
16. Non-obvious or inventive step
1. identifying the closest prior art
2. in the view of the closest prior art, determine
the technical problem which the invention
addresses and successfully solves
3. examining whether or not the claimed
solution to the objective technical problem is
obvious for the skilled person in view of the
state of the art in general.
17. How long for a patent to be
approved?
• Application filed to first response by USPTO
28 months (on average)
• Total time to issue of a patent
34 months (on average)
Times vary by area of technology, you can find
out the average for your area on the USPTO
website.
18. How much does it cost to get a
patent?
Large Entity Fees
- Starting at around $2000
- Maintenance for 20 years $9000
Small Entity Fees
- Starting at $1000 for a patent
- Maintenance for 20 years $4500
Micro Entity (no more than 4 apps)

20. Benefits of getting a patent
• They give the inventor the opportunity to produce

to do so, and to make a profit.
• A license agreement allows the patent owner to
grant rights to a commercial entity that wishes to
practice the patent in return for payment.

Editor's Notes
Where is the Intellectual Property in this?
Of course to get a patent, the invention must be shown to work, not just theoretically!
