What does this cartoon have to do with patent law
or innovation?
Pioneering inventions
Light bulb?
Henry Woodward
and Mathew Evans
Vs
Thomas Alva
Edison
Edison’s Improvements
● a lower current electricity
● a small carbonized filament, and
● an improved vacuum inside the
globe
Patent Law
● The invention is new (i.e., novel),
● Non-obvious (i.e., not trivial or common
sense), and
● Capable of Industrial Application
Improvement Patents
● An improvement made to an existing patented device.
● Improvements have to be new and nonobvious.
● The new improved product must be exceptionally better
than the original.
Types of Improvement Patents
Addition inventions - requires that new
components be added to the existing
patented device.
Substitution inventions - can be issued to
devices that have had major component or
material changes which result in a better
product.
Examples
Addition Inventions Substitution Inventions
Relationship Between Basic and Improvement
Patents
● Whether the improvement patent can be practiced without
infringing the basic patent?
● Whether the differences between the improvement and the
disclosure of the basic patent are obvious at the time the
invention was made.
● In considering the patentability of an improvement
over a prior patent, compare the complete disclosure of
the prior patent to determine what it would teach one
skilled in the art and then compare that teaching with the
improved technology.
● In evaluating infringement, focus on the claims of the
prior patent and compare them with the improvements.
Approaches
Patentability
?
Infringement
Conclusion
● The analysis between a basic patent and an improvement
patent, therefore, involves an initial inquiry as to whether
the issue is one of patentability over the basic patent or
infringement of the basic patent.
● The factual determinations and legal evaluations are
different depending upon which type of evaluation is being
made.
Conclusion
● In evaluating patentability in comparing a basic patent with
an improvement patent, not only the technology involved
but also the identity of the inventors can be important.
● If there is common ownership or if a license has been
granted by the owner of the basic patent to the owner of the
improvement, infringement would not be a problem.

Patent of addition and substitution inventions

  • 1. Addition and Substitution Inventions By, Lavanya Suresh Associate - Patents & Designs Altacit Global
  • 2. What does this cartoon have to do with patent law or innovation?
  • 4. Light bulb? Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans Vs Thomas Alva Edison
  • 5. Edison’s Improvements ● a lower current electricity ● a small carbonized filament, and ● an improved vacuum inside the globe
  • 6. Patent Law ● The invention is new (i.e., novel), ● Non-obvious (i.e., not trivial or common sense), and ● Capable of Industrial Application
  • 7. Improvement Patents ● An improvement made to an existing patented device. ● Improvements have to be new and nonobvious. ● The new improved product must be exceptionally better than the original.
  • 8. Types of Improvement Patents Addition inventions - requires that new components be added to the existing patented device. Substitution inventions - can be issued to devices that have had major component or material changes which result in a better product.
  • 10. Relationship Between Basic and Improvement Patents ● Whether the improvement patent can be practiced without infringing the basic patent? ● Whether the differences between the improvement and the disclosure of the basic patent are obvious at the time the invention was made.
  • 11. ● In considering the patentability of an improvement over a prior patent, compare the complete disclosure of the prior patent to determine what it would teach one skilled in the art and then compare that teaching with the improved technology. ● In evaluating infringement, focus on the claims of the prior patent and compare them with the improvements. Approaches
  • 14. Conclusion ● The analysis between a basic patent and an improvement patent, therefore, involves an initial inquiry as to whether the issue is one of patentability over the basic patent or infringement of the basic patent. ● The factual determinations and legal evaluations are different depending upon which type of evaluation is being made.
  • 15. Conclusion ● In evaluating patentability in comparing a basic patent with an improvement patent, not only the technology involved but also the identity of the inventors can be important. ● If there is common ownership or if a license has been granted by the owner of the basic patent to the owner of the improvement, infringement would not be a problem.
