Description

An invention is a new composition, device, or process. Invention can also be defined to include creative endeavors that extend beyond original, substantial improvements. An invention is also a new, useful, and nonobvious improvement of a process, machine, or product. Any invention which is new, useful, and nonobvious improvement of process can be patented. Inventions that involve processes, machines, manufactures, and compositions of matter, and any improvement thereof, are patentable. A license is a contractual right that gives someone permission to do a certain activity or to use certain property owned by someone else. Licensing agreement is an agreement between two enterprises allowing one to sell the other's property such as products or services and to use their name, sales literature, trademarks, copyrights, etc. in a limited manner. Besides license agreement terms, federal laws provide stiff civil and criminal penalties for pirating and other unauthorized use of other's property. A patent is a grant of a property right by the Government to an inventor. The United States Constitution gives Congress the right to provide for patent protection in legislation in order to encourage useful inventions. The patent itself provides a detailed description of the invention, and how it is used or how to make it. • how many inventions it has evaluated; • how many of those inventions got positive or negative evaluations (legitimate companies will have a fairly low acceptance rate, usually under 5%); • its total number of customers; • how many of those customers received a net financial profit from the promoter's services (that is, the number of clients who made more money from their invention than they paid to the company); and • how many of those customers have licensed their inventions due to the promoter's services (if the success rate is too low, between 2 and 5%, the company's services may not be worth your out-of-pocket expenses).
