2. Myths to Ensure Your Patent Rights!
 There are so many misconceptions about patents which
make the decision making even tougher. It is always
advised to consult an attorney to clear any doubts
regarding patents as not contacting an attorney may
result in not filing for a patent and eventually losing out
on your invention to a patent dispute case in the future!

3. 4 Myths Busted Regarding Patents
 Myth 1: One Can Only Patent Fresh Ideas
 Myth 2: Your Patent Can Prevent Copy
 Myth 3: Your Patent is Recognized Worldwide
 Myth 4: Patent Searches are Effortless

4. Myth 1: One Can Only Patent Fresh Ideas
 This is the biggest misconception that people have
regarding patents. It is very true that a new and fresh
idea is the ideal candidate for filing a patent. However,
this does not mean any new advancement or
improvement is deprived of a patent right. For example,
someone owns a patent regarding the creation of a
certain type of sweet but you add something to it and
change its flavor completely. So, this new experiment is
liable for a patent!

5. Myth 2: Your Patent Can Prevent Copy
 If you are thinking to relax after getting your patent
because no one is going to use it, let us brief you with
the same. A patent does not stop anyone from using
your invention, technology or anything. Relax! There is
a definite solution to it as for patent infringement; you
always have the option of filing a patent dispute case. It
depends greatly on the law system of a country as in a
nation with a strict law; it is less likely for the people to
copy or use a patent.

6. Myth 3: Your Patent is Recognized Worldwide
 Sadly for patent owners, this is just not true! Each and
every country has its limitations against patent rights.
This means if you are getting a patent for your country,
you cannot stop a person from using your invention or
idea in a different country. However, when you register
a patent under WIPO (World Intellectual Property
Organization), it protects your patent in almost 140
countries.

7. Myth 4: Patent Searches are Effortless
 This is not true. Due to the availability of patent
databases over the internet, a lot of people think that
searching a patent from the database is a cakewalk.
However, this is not true as it is a complex procedure
and requires professional help. For example, a patent
named ‘US29672774A’ represents something and
explains its usage. Do you think getting it out a vast
patent database is easy? It is recommended to hire a
patent searching expert just as it is recommended to
hire an attorney for a patent dispute case.
