Learn how to protect your intellectual property through provisional patents with Patty Campbell, University of Maryland School of Law Associate Professor and Director of the Maryland Intellectual Property Legal Resource Center.
This discussion will focus on how to prepare a detailed invention disclosure that can form the basis of a provisional patent application. Learn questions to frequently asked questions such as:
* What types of inventions can be patented?
* Who is an inventor?
* What does it mean for an invention to be novel and nonobvious?
* How much detail must be included in an invention disclosure?
* Must drawings be included with an invention disclosure?
* When is an invention ready for patenting?
