Can I patent a formula? You cannot patent formulas for Mathematics, but you can patent formula applications such as software for applying the patent formula. If something is new, original, and useful can it be patented? If it involves an inventive step and is useful to trade or agriculture it can be patented.

Yes you can assuming it is new and non-obvious. Without knowing anything more about the invention, it will be an uphill battle because the patent examiner will likely say it was 'obvious to try' combining X, Y, and Z since each supplement was known in the health supplement field.

While mathematical formulas themselves cannot be copyrighted, the specific implementations or expressions of those formulas can be eligible for copyright protection.

Mathematical formulas are considered abstract ideas by the patent and trademark office because they are concepts that explain how things work. Allowing people to patent these formulas could hinder innovation and progress, and would, technically, simply be unfair. Therefore, getting such a patent is not possible.

However, you can patent the use or formula of the natural or organic cosmetic. Typically, patenting involves releasing your secret formula into the public domain and there is an obvious risk that copycats can use this as a base to substitute ingredients and achieve a similar result.

Chemical compounds are a significant and important area of patenting, and this trend is likely to continue as new technologies and applications for chemical compounds continue to emerge. If you're looking to patent a chemical compound or formula, thoroughly reviewing existing patents is the first priority.

Can Ingredients be Patented? Though an ingredient itself cannot be patented (unless you somehow invented it), the use of it in a product or formula can be patented. Again, the presence of the ingredient cannot be obvious.

If so, you may be wondering if you can patent it. Unfortunately, it is not possible to patent an Excel spreadsheet in its entirety. However, you can patent certain aspects of your spreadsheet, such as the formulas or algorithms that you have used.

It is certainly possible to obtain a patent on a recipe or food item if there is a unique aspect, perhaps if there is something counter-intuitive or a problem (such as shelf life or freshness) is being addressed. The trick will be identifying a uniqueness that is not something one would typically think to try.
