This presentation analyzes when an idea is capable of protection, which types of inventions are patentable and which are not, and how the process of applying for and obtaining a patent works. It will also discuss the importance of keeping inventions and ideas confidential through the use of Non-Disclosure Agreements, the effect of filing a patent application, and how each country has different patent requirements. The use of employment agreements and third-party agreements to ensure the proper ownership of patent rights will be reviewed.
