In very simple terms, an invention is a device or method that has been conceived through thought and experimentation. However, the United States Patent Office considers an invention patentable only if the invention is:
-
Novel
-
Nonobvious
-
Adequately Described
What do these terms mean? The following is meant to act as primer to assist you in deciding whether or not your invention may be patentable, and whether you would like to disclose your invention to the Technology Transfer Office. Please keep in mind, though, that the TTO is here to assist you whenever necessary as you evaluate your invention; Click HERE for general contact information.
