Examples of a Patent on Food Recipe Patent No. 192889 – A process for the preparation of deep fat fried potato chips. Patent No. 250544 – Improved process for tea manufacturing.
Patents have been used in their modern definition since the 1500s to provide inventors the exclusive right to produce and sell their inventions. Some famous examples of products that have been patented include: The Telephone: Patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. The Lightbulb: Patented in 1878 by Thomas Edison.
To be patentable, your food product must be a ``novel'' invention, ``non-obvious,'' and ``useful.'' All of these are technical legal standards that essentially mean that it needs to be different in some significant way from existing food products, while also being not an obvious or easy to adapt variation.
