This article examines how the patent system applies to inventions related to food including drinks, plants, food processing, and even the appearance of food. A design patent can offer protection for the visual components of a culinary creation.This could include the food item itself or the packaging it comes in. If the recipe can be found in the prior art identically you cannot obtain a patent. The word "identically" is chosen deliberately. Generally, a patent will only be granted to pseudo-scientific recipes. Food recipes are not considered intellectual property. The key to securing a utility patent for food and foodrelated innovations is that your proposed process, method, or recipe must be novel and nonobvious. Officially file your request for a food patent. Getting a patent can help protect your products or designs and ensures that others cannot make your products without your permission.
