Detailed explanation-1: -The invention must be capable of industrial application, meaning that it must be capable of being used for an industrial or business purpose beyond a mere theoretical phenomenon, or be useful. Its subject matter must be accepted as “patentable” under law.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you determine that the invention is probably not patentable, the most effective way to protect yourself is to have prospective licensees sign a nondisclosure agreement before you reveal your invention. This document is sometimes called an “NDA” or a “confidentiality agreement, ” but the terms are similar.
