Here is a secret of the patent industry: most inventors never recover the cost of their patent. Don't be one of them. Find out if you need a patent or not, and only get one if it fits your goals. Going to a patent attorney to know if you need a patent is like going to an insurance salesman to know if you need insurance. What do you think the answer will be? The attorney will at least try to sell you an expensive patent search.Do you like to make up your own mind? If you are an inventor or want to invest in an invention, you probably do. I am a registered patent agent and I wrote this book to help you decide if you should get a patent, or, for an investor, if you should invest in an invention. Instead of relying on a consultation by a patent agent or attorney who will use his free consultation to try and sell you something, you can read this book. It would take many hours to tell someone in person all the information and pieces of advice that are collected in this book. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars to hear someone tell you all this, you can read about patents in a non-pressure and informational context at home and think about the big issues related to them. Then, you will be informed to decide if you want to patent or not. If you still have questions, you will be able to use the free consultation given by many patent agents and attorneys to get answers to them, instead of simply be told generalities and sold a search or a provisional patent application that may not be right for you.What are the major steps of the patent process? This book includes a detailed summary of the whole process that you can read and refer to later.Find out the major mistakes that inventors tend to make. Some can eliminate any chance of getting a valid patent.For investors, find out what is the minimal set of questions you should be asking before investing a single cent in an invention. Answers to these questions can save you a lot of time and money.And of course, the 20000$ question: should you patent your invention or not? Sometimes, patenting your invention is not the best way to proceed. And if you decide to patent it, this book warns you about the major mistakes that inventors and investors make in the patent process.

The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates. A Patent System for the 21st Century urges creation of a mechanism for post-grant challenges to newly issued patents, reinvigoration of the non-obviousness standard to quality for a patent, strengthening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, simplified and less costly litigation, harmonization of the U.S., European, and Japanese examination process, and protection of some research from patent infringement liability.

In recent years, business leaders, policymakers, and inventors have complained to the media and to Congress that today's patent system stifles innovation instead of fostering it. But like the infamous patent on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, much of the cited evidence about the patent system is pure anecdote--making realistic policy formation difficult. Is the patent system fundamentally broken, or can it be fixed with a few modest reforms? Moving beyond rhetoric, Patent Failure provides the first authoritative and comprehensive look at the economic performance of patents in forty years. James Bessen and Michael Meurer ask whether patents work well as property rights, and, if not, what institutional and legal reforms are necessary to make the patent system more effective. Patent Failure presents a wide range of empirical evidence from history, law, and economics. The book's findings are stark and conclusive. While patents do provide incentives to invest in research, development, and commercialization, for most businesses today, patents fail to provide predictable property rights. Instead, they produce costly disputes and excessive litigation that outweigh positive incentives. Only in some sectors, such as the pharmaceutical industry, do patents act as advertised, with their benefits outweighing the related costs. By showing how the patent system has fallen short in providing predictable legal boundaries, Patent Failure serves as a call for change in institutions and laws. There are no simple solutions, but Bessen and Meurer's reform proposals need to be heard. The health and competitiveness of the nation's economy depend on it.
