The five primary requirements for patentability are: (1) patentable subject matter; (2) utility; (3) novelty; (4) non-obviousness; and (5) enablement. Like trademarks, patents are territorial, meaning they are enforceable in a specific geographic area.
A provisional application is a quick, inexpensive way for you to establish a U.S. filing date for your invention that can be claimed in a later-filed U.S. nonprovisional, PCT, and/or foreign application. Provisional applications will not be examined and never lead to patents by themselves.
In order to patent the recipe, you hire a patent professional (a patent lawyer or patent agent) to draft an application for you and submit it to the US Patent and Trademark office. If the recipe really is new, and not an obvious variation of an existing recipe, you will be granted a patent.
YES, you can patent a recipe! However, it can be more challenging than other types of IP. Simply changing one ingredient or the proportions of ingredients likely won't get you a granted application with the USPTO. There are millions of recipes that already exist as prior art, so if you decide to proceed, be sure.
There is no legal way to protect a recipe; copyright laws don't apply to recipes, formulations, compounds, lists of ingredients, etc. The only alternatives are to use ``secret ingredients'' whose composition is known only to the developer, or otherwise to hide the recipe.
If you are filing a patent in the US, the law does not require you to have a patent agent or attorney. That said. A patent application is not easy to draft without significant training.
Yes, a food product and/ or its recipe can be patented.
A grade of patent without stenosis was given to any vessel displaying no or only minor disturbances in color-flow characteristics and no stenoses of ≥50%. A grade of patent with stenosis was assigned to any vessel displaying moderate or severe disturbances in color-flow characteristics and a stenosis of ≥50%.
(b) The degree of stenosis determined at gray-scale and Doppler US should be stratified into the categories of normal (no stenosis), <50% stenosis, 50%-69% stenosis, > or =70% stenosis to near occlusion, near occlusion, and total occlusion.
The portal vein is the primary route for blood to flow into the liver. It being patent means there's no clot and blood is flowing freely through the vessel.
