How do you get my product patented?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First step, you should do the patentability search for your invention. You can take help from Patent Agent/Patent Attorney for conducting patentability search.

After that, the invention description is written in a specific format as needed by the patent office, and it will contain Title, Abstract, Background, technical description and Claims. The patent specification is filed at patent office to obtain patent application number, and patent application will be published after 18 months from filing date, and next step examination (offical action) to scrutinize the novelty of invention and other requirement of patentability.

In case, any objection comes during official action, we need comply the objection to allow the patent application to grant. Finally, the patent will be granted after allowance of patent application.

Asked by Wiki User

We all recognize the name Bluetooth. It’s synonymous with wireless technology, and we take for granted how much it impacts our lives. From smartphones to headphones and beyond, we rely on Bluetooth to free us from the tether of wired tech.

What did President Lincoln invent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On May 22, 1849, Abraham Lincoln received Patent No. 6469 for a device to lift boats over shoals.

Lincoln's idea was to allow larger ships with deep hull to reach smaller towns in shallow areas of rivers. The inflatable devices on ships would allow them to float over shoals to reach these small towns and increase trade. Lincoln could find no funding for this idea and it fell by the wayside. Lincoln is the only US president to be awarded a patent.

How do you patent your own martial art?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I've spoken to my lawyer about this, because I know martial artists that threaten to sue people for "teaching their stuff". The short answer is no.

If you write a manual or produce a video or otherwise fix something into a tangible form - then that thing has copyright. That's the book or video itself, but not your style.

You could also file a trademark on your style name or logo. Krav Maga is famously going through trademark lawsuits.

The real issue with trying to protect a style is that there is virtually no martial arts movements you could make that don't already exist in some other style.
