Who can Invent? YOU!
So...how do you “invent”? • Set a goal, dream, imagine! • Write it down! • Experiment, develop, modify and • construct your invention. • It’s a SECRET!
What is a Patent? • Is it just a piece of paper? • Your “invention”. Mine Mine Mine Mine
Why would anyone want a patent? • So an inventor can use or sell his/her invention and no one else can. • How long can you stop other people?
Why do we want people to eventually use our inventions? Someone may make your invention even better!
What can be patented? • Utility: process (method), machine, manufacture, or composition • Design: ornamental design for an object • Plant: new variety • OR • Any new and useful improvement
