Can you look up a list of patents that already exist? Like a companies house type website?

The Espacenet tool has a smart search facility which is pretty good. Google patents is good for US Patents. Most attorneys will do a professional search for around £800 but make sure that comes with a professional opinion and not just a list of results!

thanks for the helpful information .so according to the cost and the fact that if I want to develope my idea further i need to patent a new application, how can I pitch my ideas to companies and put its marketability on test . I also have to mention I want to start my business as an inventor with little ideas that involves daily life activities + gamers comfort so I need to come up with the cheapest and fastest way. any comment is appreciated.

I would suggest talking to an attorney first and getting their opinion. But one option would be to use confidentiality agreements with your target market to do some direct market research to confirm that people would be prepared to buy your ideas. This is a free way to gain some protection but it isn’t often as effective as a patent. Do ask an attorney about this and take their advice. Registered designs are a lot cheaper and provide some element of protection depending on the idea. I am happy to provide some initial free feedback on your idea and planning the most efficient route forwards. I will always sign a confidentiality agreement first.

Thank you for doing this very detailed video. It's answered a few of my questions and eased my mind somewhat. I am in the process of looking into a patent and was going to go for it when I first had the idea, which was 5 years ago, so I'm glad I didn't. We are nearly there with a prototype so I was getting concerned about costs. I would love to speak to you privately if possible about one or two questions I have. Would be OK with doing that ?

Hi, my question is how can you avoid that your patent authority doesn't steal your idea when you presenting it to them. I've heard many stories that patent has been stolen by the patent authority or solicitors. I have an invention that I want to get patent for but I'm afraid that someone who will be working with the case steals it or leaks it out.

I've never heard of an attorney stealing ideas but that's not to say it never happens. Chartered Patent Attorneys are covered by a strict code of conduct and so often won't sign NDA's as their code of conduct is much stronger. Always best to use a reputable attorney firm who have a brand to maintain.

Slightly confused. I see on the white board "you cannot patent something you've divulged publicly". But you also say, develop 'and sell' your product leaving the patent filing further down the line to accommodate further design changes. Aren't the two mutually exclusive ?
@ProductInnovationAcademy2 жыл бұрын
Developing and selling the product should be done under NDA before you've filed your patent. In this scenario, selling would be to a few key retailers or distributors who had signed a confidentiality agreement (NDA). Always make sure your product design company and/or prototyping company has a signed NDA as well. This protects you before you file your patent.

@@ProductInnovationAcademy Ah, got you. Many thanks for the clarification. All makes sense to me now. 🇬🇧
