SoYouWanna patent something?
Article discusses step-by-step the patent application process.
Every invention that you can think of (be it a machine, a toy, a food or even a process) needs a patent
If you don't get a patent, then any random Joe can copy your idea and make money off it
If you get a patent, you're protected: only you can reap the financial rewards and claim the idea to be your own
So if you're a burgeoning Thomas Edison (who, by the way, holds the record for "The Most Patents, " numbering over 1, 000), then read on and learn how to protect your invention
A patent is basically a promise by the government to protect certain types of inventions or discoveries and to provide the owner of the patent with the exclusive right to make , use , or sell the patented item
We have patent protection because it encourages people to be creative and inventive
After all, if other people could just rip off your inventions and profit from them as soon as you made them, why would you bother to invent in the first place? But if you can get a patent for your doohickey, you are the only one who can profit from it, unless you sell the patent or a license to use it to someone else

§ 1.510(d) stated that the filing date of a request for ex parte reexamination is (1) The date on which the request including the entire fee for requesting reexamination is received in the Patent and Trademark Office; or (2) The date on which the last portion of the fee for requesting reexamination is received. In like manner, former § 1.919(a) stated that [t]he filing date of a request for inter partes reexamination is the date on which the request satisfies the fee requirement of § 1.915(a).According to the discussion accompanying the rule change, It may have appeared that compliance with the provisions of § 1.510(b) or§ 1.915(b) was not required for obtaining a filing date in reexamination.However, 35 U.S.C
