You can’t protect an
idea, however you can protect an invention. Of course, the idea is the first
step in that creation process, but until you create something tangible, there
is no protection for you there. Once your idea manifests into an actual invention,
then you can work through the process of protecting it through a patent.
Depending on your invention, you will likely be considering one of the
following patents:
Utility Patent: This type of patent focuses on function. It is appropriate to
file for this patent if you have created a brand new product that has never
been invented before.
Design Patent: This type of patent is appropriate if you have a product that is
already established on the market, but you have created a new look that is
incredibly unique.
In some instances, your
invention may be eligible for both types of patents. To best determine where
you should go from here, you should consult a patent attorney.
