Listen to the Business Innovators Radio Network interview to learn why every business needs intellectual property protection. Randi explained how to get started turning ideas into huge profits.
As a business owner, uniqueness defines the value of a business. Whether it’s an amazing new product or service, unique content or method, or a unique brand, uniqueness reflects the business’s personality, objectives, and mission. When a business owner gets an idea for a new product or process, one of the first things they’ll need to do is determine if it’s patentable. This can be a complex process, as many factors must be considered. Here are a few tips to help make the determination.
First, and foremost, it is important to keep ideas private. If someone shares an idea with too many people, it could get out before they’re ready to patent it. In order to avoid this, they should only share an idea with a select few people they trust.
Secondly, always use non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) when working with others, whether they’re potential investors, manufacturers, or even just consultants. This will help to protect an idea in the event that it is leaked.
Third, consult with a patent attorney. These professionals can help understand the patent process and whether or not an idea will likely be granted a patent.
Finally, consider filing a provisional patent application. A patent attorney can help with the best strategy to do so. This will give the person a year to work on their invention without revealing their trade secret to the world.
