I resumed a series of posts on patents and innovation, afn simply answer (or try to answer) to various questions put to me following my previous posts on how to ask a patent?
A question posed by inventors or entrepreneurs thinking have an innovative idea or a revolutionary concept likely to be the choice of brevettée patent office that might help.
How to be sure of the seriousness of a patent office, not to fall on crooks or incompetent people.
How to find a serious partner who will help you to file your patent, or to highlight the innovations to be patented, ... if any (although often there is not)?
In practice, patent offices and patent engineers working in these firms are all seriously. Their job is complicated to learn, patent engineers are few on the market and paid relatively expensive (The law of supply and demand).
That said, engineers patents will be more ready than others to address the particular case of your supposed innovation
-> This is usually engineers discussed new ideas with patents in the same area, or in related fields. Obviously, he does not know your idea, and it will need to apprehend him, but he will find it easier to understand if your invention has already worked on other patents revolving around the concept. Since this is not post in your CV, you can already make a choice based on the firm's specialization patent (he specialized in chemistry will be a priori less efficient than that specializes in electronics for a patent on electronics (though). And in the same firm, you may find a patent engineer more consistent with your need Other (feel free to ask ...)
-> Do not forget that every learned profession. And so there may be patent engineer beginner, often less able than confirmed but we must begin. In the good firms, the new work is proofread and corrected by the elders, but it is not systematic.
If there are differences between firms, no one will tell you directly and you will not find easily on the net or your relationships. But you can ask a council notice (which will remain unofficial) to a counselor Oseo. Oseo has branches by region (see oseo.fr), scroll saw hundreds of files and can refer you to a short list of firms that patent have already tested the one hand, specialized in your field technique the other (eg Internet, mechanics ...).
SONC not hesitate to consult them: It will be free, and this advisor will provide you with valuable advice in all areas ... Please
not refer to the antenna INPI your area, especially to request an appointment (free here as well) with a consultant engineer patent INPI. This will advise you directly on your innovation (it is patentable or not, ...)
Warning: Whatever the seriousness and competence of your partner, and patent engineer who will draft your patent if it considers that there is a patentable invention, this does not mean that your patent, even if it is well written, will be accepted following prior studies. Nobody can know all the inventions and research anticipation conducted by INPI or the patent office to whom you send may take up to 1 year ... before you are back inventions binding on all or part of your idea.
