FAQs about Inventions & Patents
Question: Are there any organizations in my area which can tell me how and where I may be able to obtain assistance in developing and marketing my invention?
Answer - Yes. In your own or neighboring communities you may inquire of such organizations as chambers of commerce and banks.
Question: How do I find out if I need a patent, trademark or a copyright?
Answer - Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights are three types of intellectual property protection. They are different and serve different purposes. Patents protect inventions, and improvements to existing inventions.
Question: If I invent something during my grant, who owns the invention?
Answer - If research findings result in inventions, grantees have the right to retain title to these inventions, as long as they abide by the provisions of the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, as implemented in 37 CFR 401, for their utilization, commercialization, and public availability.
