The question of whether a particular invention is “patentable” is a complex issue that has been the subject of thousands of legal decisions. For that reason, it is not possible to summarize all that is required for an invention to be “patentable.”

Generally, an invention must be “novel” and not “obvious.” The novelty test merely requires that there be some difference between the inventive product or process and other prior products or processes. The differences need not be major. In fact, the most valuable patented inventions are often small modifications or improvements over the prior products or processes. If any difference at all exists between the prior art and the new invention, then the new invention is “novel” as described in https://www.hngn.com/articles/227862/20200113/what-can-the-experts-at-inventhelp-do-for-you.htm article. For that reason, most inventions meet the test of novelty.

It is generally difficult for an inventor to make a determination of whether a particular invention would have been obvious. In fact, the patent law refers to improper holdings of obviousness as being based upon “hindsight.” That is, once you know what the invention is, it may appear obvious. Many good inventions seem obvious once you understand how they are constructed or operate. The legal question is, however, whether an invention would have been obvious before the invention was made.

For the above reasons, it is not typically advisable for an inventor who is not well versed in patent law to attempt to make a determination of whether a particular invention is “patentable.” Rather, the inventor should ask whether the invention provides benefits which were not available before the invention was made. If the invention does provide a benefit, then it is advisable to contact an experienced patent attorney or an patenting agency such as InventHelp.

Let’s assume you’ve created the “killer app” – a new software application that will transform computing. Now let’s imagine you’re paranoid (or justifiably concerned, as some businesspeople would say) that a big company will create a knock-off of your new application and run away with all the money and fame. How do you keep that from happening? Why, you get a software patent, of course.

How do you patent software?

Well, actually, you can’t patent software itself. The lines of computer code written in a given computer language are covered by copyright, but they can’t be patented. What you CAN patent, however, is a method or process for accomplishing something new, useful, novel and non-obvious. If your application is as transformational as you think it is, it no doubt includes at least one new technique so novel that it qualifies as an invention.

If you can’t patent software, what is a software patent?

When the invention covered by a patent requires a computer and computer software to implement it, the patent is unofficially referred to as a software patent. Everyone understands that what has actually been patented is the underlying method or process implemented by the software as seen in https://www.natureworldnews.com/articles/43137/20200108/why-inventhelp-is-a-great-resource-for-new-inventors.htm post.

Can anyone get a software patent?

Anyone who invents a new, useful, novel, non-obvious method or process can apply for a patent.

What is different about a software patent compared to other types of patents?

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recognizes only three types of patents:

Utility patent – protects a new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement of the same
Design patent – protects a new and original ornamental design for an article of manufacture
Plant patent – protects a distinct and new variety of asexually reproduced plant

For a software-implemented invention, you would apply for a utility patent. The fact that the invention requires software to implement it does not affect the criteria for patent protection. The application process is also exactly the same as for any other utility patent. It is all explained in https://www.latinpost.com/articles/143207/20200108/why-new-inventors-need-assistance-from-inventhelp.htm article.

If you file a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) international patent application within one year of filing a patent application in the US, you are considered to have filed in each PCT foreign country on the same day as the initially filed application in the US. This 12-month time limit is NOT extendable.

Once the 12-month time limit is passed the application can no longer use the initial US filing date as the foreign filing date. Although the U.S. grants a patent to the first inventor, most foreign laws operate on a first to file basis. Therefore, the first person to file an application is entitled to the patent, not the first to invent as you can see from this article on https://inspirationfeed.com/how-inventhelp-can-help-you-protect-your-invention/.

Filing patent applications in individual foreign countries is very expensive because of separate filing fees and translation costs. Filing a PCT international patent application lessens the initial burden of these fees by streamlining the foreign patent application process. This one international patent application secures the US priority date and delays entry into the national phase for up to 31 months from the US priority date.

By filing a PCT international patent application:

• Provide protection to the invention in a large number of countries.
• Gain the extra time needed to investigate commercial possibilities abroad.
• Receive an International Search Report (ISR) containing relevant cited prior art for the evaluation of protecting the invention.
• Receive a non-binding written opinion giving information on the patentability of the invention.

The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) was formed in 1970 between most countries to streamline filing for foreign patent protection. The formal requirements of all international patent applications are regulated by the Treaty.

Prior to deciding to pursue a patent application, you may want a patent search performed. Different levels of analysis can be performed on patents that may cover your invention.

If prior art does exist that covers your invention, an infringement opinion can also be prepared. This is a detailed report on whether or not a product or a process you are using in your business is infringing upon an existing patent.

Should I have a patent search performed?

In theory, any invention is capable of obtaining patent protection as the claims could be written in such a narrow way that they only cover the exact embodiment of the invention the inventor has come up with as written on https://www.techtimes.com/articles/246245/20191127/why-inventhelp-is-essential-for-entrepreneurs.htm.

A patent search then gives you a reasonable idea as to other prior existing art in the area of your invention to see exactly how narrow your claims would have to be to obtain a patent.

If the prior art suggests that only very narrow claims have a reasonable chance of being allowed, the cost of the patent application process may be prohibitive. A detailed and prompt discussion regarding the prior art will help you make an informed decision whether to pursue a patent.

Do I need an infringement opinion prepared?

An infringement opinion can be very helpful if you are going to place a product in commerce. If you start selling a product, and it can be later shown that you were aware of a patent that you may be infringing, you can be liable for additional damages.

By obtaining an infringement opinion from an patent attorney or an patent agency, like InventHelp, you can avoid the extra damages.

An infringement opinion will include a point by point analysis of an existing patent and how the patent compares to your product. A conclusion as to whether a good-faith argument for non-infringement can be made.

The choice of the type of truck to be purchased should always be made very carefully, knowing the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each. You also need to know what job possibilities the vehicle can offer to see if they are compatible with your personal expectations.

So, it is interesting that when researching your options, the trucker has the help of a dealership sales consultant. This expert has accurate information provided by the automaker, and has the experience to indicate the best vehicle for you.

After all, we are talking about a big investment, starting a business of our own in the road transport business and as such should be well planned. Because, as has been said, the wrong choice can lead to disproportionate costs to revenue, underperformance, or severe wear, accelerating the depreciation of the truck .

So, before you go looking, make the following considerations:

Type of cargo to be carried

Knowing which cargo variety you are going to work with is one of the most important steps in deciding which truck to purchase. After all, there are several possible body configurations that will influence the purchase price of the vehicle and the cost of maintenance.

In addition, certain types of truck are more widely used than others in certain branches of road transport. The most common body options are:

Simple chest: closed body for the transport of loose dry cargo such as boxes, bags, bales, residential and commercial changes, drums and materials that need protection against damage that the weather or travel may cause;

Low grade: also used for loose dry loads, but because it is open, it offers no protection to products. Thus, it is more commonly used for transporting sturdy goods (such as steel sheets, building materials, wood and machinery parts) or for reels at shorter distances;

Bulk carrier: ideal for dry bulk cargoes that do not require packaging such as cereals, grains, fertilizers and fertilizers, and can be used to transport the same goods carried in a low-grade bodywork;

Refrigerated or refrigerated chest: used for perishable cargo requiring low temperatures and protection from the weather such as meat, frozen foods, dairy products and fresh consumer products;

Tank: body suitable for the transport of bulk liquids, both food (drinking water, milk and juices, for example) and hazardous (such as gasoline, ethanol, natural gas and chemicals);

sider chest: because it has a lateral opening, it is ideal for the movement of palletized products, boxes and crates, for example, which also do not need much protection, because it is closed by canvas;

Tipper bucket: has backflow discharge. It is used to transport sand, earth, gravel, cement and other bulk materials;

Platform: for moving vehicles and machines depending on the size of the platform and the size of the truck on which it is installed;

Container port: less common, but very cost effective, is used in port areas to unload and load containers, as it has its own attachment for this type of cargo.
