Protecting Inventors and Their Inventions

[Mark Siebert]

An invention is a novel machine, design, mechanical process, configuration of substances, or created item. An inventor is a person whose intellectual work has led to an invention, not just a person who works with an inventor. Note that this means an inventor’s lab assistant might not be considered a co-inventor if the assistant’s work was simply to carry out processes determined by the inventor. A patent protects an invention by allowing its inventor — or the group who owns the patent — control over who may use the invention. Patent applications are adjudicated by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and are valid for 20 years. An assignee is a person or group who owns a patent. While this could be the inventor themselves, an assignee could also be the university the inventor works for or the company or organization that funded the inventor’s research.

Our approach involves thoroughly reviewing your invention idea to determine its development potential and how our services can be effectively applied. Our goal is to explore how we can support your invention through our expertise and services, ensuring that it aligns with our capabilities for development and market introduction. When submitting an invention idea, a rough sketch and a non-working prototype can be incredibly helpful. Your sketch can be simple, using stick figures or traced drawings—you don’t need artistic skills. A non-working prototype, even if made from materials like cardboard, clay, or tape, helps visualize your concept.
