 A large percentage of issued patents contain errors. A patent is enforceable as it is granted. Therefore errors have a bearing on the enforceability of a patent.

Patent Analysis includes Technology Landscape analysis which can help a client to understand the patent filing in different countries for a particular technology, the latest development involving such technology and the strengths of its competitors. The analysis helps a client to take important decisions and strategies involving the R&D of a product, investing into certain areas of technology, identifying patent trends, understanding the competitors' strategy amongst others. Not only does the landscape analysis gives one a picture of its competitors, it also determines the IP portfolios of the companies involved and where a product, if launched, will stand in the market. Many research-oriented companies look into the technology landscape before venturing for R&D in a specific technological field. It eases commercialization breakthroughs by making it easier to identify the area which has major competition (and hence, more patent problems) and in which area remains relatively free from much competition (and hence, easier patenting and market domination).

Intellectual Property Services refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, symbols, names, images, and designs used in business. IP is divided into two categories: Industrial property, which includes inventions (Patents), Trademarks, Industrial Designs, and Geographic Indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs.   We are surrounded by IP and from morning till night and use things which involve some form of IP. For example a Mobile Phone from Nokia has technology which is protected by ‘Patents’. Its design and keypad layout is protected by ‘Industrial Design’. The brand NOKIA is protected as ‘Trademark’ and the user’s manual is protected by ‘Copyright’. People working in any domain are dealing with different IP at work and home, and even they have ideas which can be converted into IP but they are not aware about it. We at EPatents provide ‘IP Awareness Seminars’ to create awareness about IP, different forms of IP and its advantages for your organization and also help them convert into IP assets. If you are a small company, a SME, research institute, university or college and are interested to create awareness about IP among your people , our customized seminar will be the BEST step to Start.

A patent application or patent may contain drawings, also called Patent Drawings , illustrating the invention, some of its embodiments (which are particular implementations or methods of carrying out the invention), or the prior art. The drawings may be required by the law to be in a particular form, and the requirements may vary depending on the jurisdiction. In utility and design patent applications, drawings can be in black ink or color. Black and white drawings are normally required. On rare occasions, color drawings may be necessary as the only practical medium by which to disclose the subject matter sought to be patented in a utility or design patent application or the subject matter of a statutory invention registration. Black and white photographs are not ordinarily permitted in utility and design patent applications, unless this is the only practicable medium for illustrating the claimed invention. For example, photographs of electrophoresis gels, blots, autoradiographs, cell cultures, histological tissue cross sections, animals, plants, in vivo imaging, etc. Color photographs can be accepted in utility and design patent applications if the conditions for accepting color drawings and black and white photographs have been satisfied.

In the United States, a Design Patent is a form of legal protection granted to the ornamental design of a functional item. Design Patents are a type of industrial design right. Ornamental designs of jewelry, furniture, beverage containers and computer icons are examples of objects that are covered by Design Patents. In India, the Design Patent is called ‘Industrial Design’. An ‘Industrial Design’ is the ornamental or aesthetic aspect of an article. The design may consist of three-dimensional features, such as the shape or surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features, such as patterns, lines or color. Industrial Designs are applied to a wide variety of products of industry and handicraft: from technical and medical instruments to watches, jewelry, and other luxury items; from house wares and electrical appliances to vehicles and architectural structures; from textile designs to leisure goods. Utility Patents protect the functionality of a given item but Design Patents cover the ornamental non-functional design of an item. Design Patents are valid for 14 years from the date of issue. There are no maintenance fees to be paid every year like Utility Patents.
