Patent/Invention, Patent New Invention

Can I patent an idea? What is the value of getting a patent? Do I need a patent to practice my invention? Can I sell my invention before I receive a patent? How would it make me feel if someone was to steal my idea, my invention? How would I feel if I saw my invention on the market and someone else making money off it? What rights does a patent give me? What do I have to do to be able to police my patent? Does it make sense for me to file for a patent, or should I keep my invention a trade secret? What is the best way to protect my invention for the highest impact on my income and quality of life? What about international patent rights? Should I secure them? How do I police them? Can I police my patent rights in China? Does it make sense for me to try to police my patent rights in China?

A patent is a contract between you and the U.S. Government. You agree to disclose to the public everything you know about your invention, including the absolutely best way to practice and make your invention, and in exchange for such disclosure, the U.S. Government will grant you the right to prevent others from making, selling and using the invention for the life of the patent; i.e., twenty years from the date of filing of the application for the patent new invention.

There are only four categories of items that can be protected by a patent, i.e., a machine, a mechanical device, a process or a composition of matter and any improvement or new use thereof. Protecting an invention by patenting it, can overlap with copyright protection, which protects artistic expression in a host of diverse creative forms, from a purely artistic work, to an ad campaign, to a computer program. (And trademark protection can overlap with patent rights when one seeks a design patent.)
