This column introduces the concepts and terminology involved in obtaining patents and the strategic purposes for doing so. The procedure for obtaining a patent is very rule oriented. Following the rules and paying attention to detail provide the best chance of obtaining a strong, enforceable patent—one that can be used as a business tool and justify the resources invested to obtain the patent. Some of the subjects included in this column are how patents fit into business plans, the value of a patent, and the steps to obtaining a patent.
