Copyrights:
Original expressions of ideas
Trademarks:
Words, symbols or sounds that identify source
Patents:
New, useful and non-obvious products or uses
Types of Intellectual Property

What is a patent?
A patent is a limited right granted by the U.S. (or
other) government to exclude others from
practicing an invention.
the claims of a patent define the invention covered by the patent
![Page 5: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
What is a patent?
Applies to the first and true inventors
of a new, not obvious and
useful product or use in exchange for the public
disclosure of the invention. Lasts for 20 years from filing date
![Page 6: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Why seek patent protection?
Patents protect your development work
Patents are important to commercialization of your technology
Patent licenses to third parties potentially provide research support and/or royalty income for AECOM and inventors
![Page 7: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

What do you get from a patent?
A patent is a right to exclude others from practicing the claimed invention. Does not guarantee that you can practice
the invention, only that others can not. You are entitled to at least some
compensation if other companies practice your patent.
You may be entitled to stop others from using your invention.

What is an invention?
An “invention” occurs when there is a “conception” and “reduction to practice.” Conception is the mental part.
Coming up with the idea. Reduction to practice is
actually making the invention. Filing of an application is
considered a type of reduction to practice.
Invention
![Page 9: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Who is an inventor?
An inventor is someone who contributed to the conception of an invention claimed in one or more of the claims of the patent.
Someone who merely acts as the “hands” of an inventor without more is not an inventor.
Authorship and inventorship are different
I think we should …
We could …
Inventors
I’ll build it …
Not an inventor
![Page 10: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
What is the criteria for patentability?
New or novel Useful or have utility Not obvious
![Page 11: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
New (or novel)
No one else came up with the exact same idea before.
No single reference has all of the elements of your claim.
What is claimed:
1. A compound having:
A
B
C and
D
Prior Art 1
A compound having A and B.
Prior Art 3 A compound having
A, B, C and D.XNot new
Prior Art 2
A compound having A and C.
![Page 12: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Useful
Your invention must be useful.
Most biotech and pharmaceutical inventions satisfy the utility requirement (i.e., they are useful).
Exception:Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) -- short nucleotide sequences that represent a fragment of a cDNA clone of unknown function (e.g., massive sequencing of genes as Humane Genome Sequences (HGS) without determination of function)
![Page 13: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Not obvious
It would not be obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to come
up with your invention.
Obviousness is determined by combining prior art references:
What is claimed:
1. A compound having:
A
B
C and
D
Prior Art 1
A compound having A, B, C and E.
Prior Art 2
Suggest that D and E are equivalent.
Substituting D for E would be obvious
![Page 14: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
What is Prior Art in the U.S.?
“Known or used by others” in the U.S. before the invention
Published or patented by others before the invention
Published or patented by anyone more than one year before the earliest effective filing date
On sale or offered for sale in the U.S. more than one year before the earliest effective filing date
In public use or display (e.g., poster or power point presentation) more than one year before the earliest effective filing date
![Page 15: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
What is Prior Art outside the U.S.?
Lack of novelty and inventive step (i.e., obvious) requirements
Publication before filing date (even by one day) is generally considered a bar to obtaining foreign patent protection
Critical to file before disclosure to preserve foreign rights
![Page 16: Intellectual Property Overview for the Academic Researcher AMSTER ROTHSTEIN & EBENSTEIN LLP December 9, 2008 Kenneth George](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022103123/56649d795503460f94a5c021/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
