WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES? Let’s start clarifying these concepts…. 3.0

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES? A discovery consists of the finding, normally throughout scientific reaseach, of something existing but not still discovered. For instance, from Space research, new Exoplanets, which surrounds other stars, are discovered every day.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES? An invention is a new product or process that solves a technical problem But, check out that the definition does not include the value of its usefulness!!!. For example, this toothbrush is a new product but due to its shape it doesn’t seem to be very useful, does it? Or the digital fork Do you imagine a restaurant to put this kind of objects on the tables? … Niether do I. 3.0

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES? If a new product or object gives a certain and real use, it offers a VALUE. Then, it becomes an INNOVATION!! REMEMBER!! An innovation is any change that, based on knowledge, gives value 3.0

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS AND DISCOVERIES? Look at the news : Basil the blind dog bounces back with help from his 'halo': Invention allows pet to learn to walk without hitting any objects: Just six months ago, this little fellow was found hungry, destitute and unable to see. Thanks to an innovative new gadget from America, Basil has been given a new lease of life – and his carers hope they will now be able to find a family to permanently house him.

THE GAME OF INVENTIONS Where were…. .. skies invented? 3.0 RUSIA The oldest discovered skies by scientists were made of wood and were 8.000 years old. Those skies were found by an expedition in the Ural Mountains in Russia in the 1960s. The point of the skies were made in the shape of an elk. This figure meant not only the idea of the speed but also was sculpted in a practical way in order to help the skier to keep on balance and to be use as brake means. 3.0

ARE YOU INNOVATOR? If so, in the moment you are inventing something you may perform your invention rights. 3.0

What are the industrial and intellectual property rights? There are different types of intellectual and industrial property rights: Patents Brands Design rights Industrial secrets Copyrights 3.0

Inventions are feasible or can be manufactured What can it be patented? According to the European Patent Granting Agreement, patents are granted to those inventions in any technological environ, under the following conditions: If they are new If it’s intended to come from a inventive activity If they are industrially applied Novelty is contained Innovations have not been copied from anything and are not evident to the State-of-the-Art Inventions are feasible or can be manufactured 3.0

What is a “new” invention? It must be new when applying the patent, and this means before the date of application . An invention is new when it hasn’t been included in the “State of the Art” The “State of the Art" is composed by everything invented before a certain patent has been determined as public information. It must not have been publicly spread the invention before the date of application of the patent. 3.0

What is a “new” invention? A controversial example Graham Bell have been known until now as the inventor of the telephone In fact, he was the first to apply for the patent about the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell presented his application of patent about the telephone in May 4th, 1886. 3.0

What is a “new” invention? A controversial example However, Antonio Meucci had just built a communication device at his home in Staten Island, linking his laboratory in the basement and his room, where his sick and handicapped wife, was able to send messages to him when she needed cares and attention 3.0

What is a “new” invention? A controversial example As a consequence, 269 resolution in 2002 from the House of Representatives of the United States of America, recognized to Antonio Meucci as the real inventor of the telephone. And resolved that “no patent could have been issued to Bell”, since Meucci’s invention was state-of-the-art invention. 3.0

What is a “new” invention? A controversial example Although, Antonio Meucci should have been valuated as the inventor of the telephone, he couldn’t pay for the fees and his works were not so widely recognized. The telephone technology was launched from Bell’s patent.publication. It could be said as a consequence of this example, that the publication of patents stimulates the technological development of the Society. Antonio Meucci (1808–1889), inventor of the telephone 3.0

Invenes data base esp@cenet data base How can you know if something you have invented , have already been developed? BY DOING A PREVIOUS RESEARCH BY MEANS OF SEARCHES AND QUERIES IN THE SPECIFIC DATABASES AND IN THE INTERNET Does any patent database exist where to be able to check if your invention or innovation hasn’t been recorded as an invention in the State of the Art? Invenes data base esp@cenet data base 3.0

Inventions searches What is Invenes? 3.0 A Patent and Mark Spanish Office’s database available to check the State-of-the-Art www.oepm.es 3.0

Inventions searches What is Invenes? 3.0 From INVENES database , any kind of searches may be done as for instance, a search about “induction hobs” Keywords search: Induction Hob Kitchen 3.0

Inventions searches What is esp@cenet? www.espacenet.com A database with more than 60 million documents that contains patent data with a almost total worldwide coverage about patents; A technical information source; A centre of information that has been designed for scientists and engineers and that is normally used by patent experts. 3.0

FIRST, DETERMINE THE SEARCH CRITERIA Inventions searches Access to the database website and try to find similar inventions or innovations like yours. FIRST, DETERMINE THE SEARCH CRITERIA www.espacenet.com esp@cenet ofrece las siguientes opciones de búsqueda: QUICK SEARCH (BÚSQUEDA RÁPIDA) – búsquedas por palabras que figuren en el título o en el resumen, o para buscar personas o empresas. ADVANCED SEARCH (BÚSQUEDA AVANZADA )– búsquedas complejas con varios campos de consulta y con operadores BOOLEANOS (véase la documentación de apoyo para más información). NUMBER SEARCH (BÚSQUEDA POR NÚMERO) – búsquedas de documentos utilizando un número de patente oficial conocido. CLASIFICATION SEARCH (BÚSQUEDA POR CLASIFICACIÓN)- búsqueda a través de clases tecnológicas: Cuando se efectúan búsquedas por clasificación no es preciso conocer la terminología utilizada en las patentes con lo que se evitan la dificultades inherentes a la misma. Además, muchos documentos que figuran en bases de datos de acceso libre no tienen un título o resumen en inglés que permita efectuar una búsqueda mediante palabras clave. Existe más información sobre cómo buscar en esp@cenet disponible en el foro de ayuda y online, así como en los folletos publicados por la OEP (véase la última diapositiva). 3.0

Search by keyword or by technological class Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Search by keyword or by technological class Search by keyword Search by technological class Patent applicators do not use a common language because of Legal situations Scope of the protection Hide some information to competitors by using generic nouns. It’s difficult to find the appropriate keywords. To obtain good results, it’s needed professional experience in patent searches. Each patent is classified by patent experts and professionals. The Classification Index is hierarchical and very detailed. This allows to deepen gradually the search. Descriptions of classes are written to be easily detected and understood. It’s need not very high qualification or experience. BUT: The Classification Index classes do not cover your needs at 100%. CIP = Clasificación Internacional de Patentes. Dado que los principiantes normalmente obtienen mejores resultados efectuando búsquedas por clase tecnológica que por palabras clave, esta presentación se centrará las primeras. En las siguientes diapositivas opcionales se ilustran algunas de las dificultades relacionadas con las búsquedas por palabra clave. 3.0

Use specific patent words and expressions Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Use specific patent words and expressions Writing tool = pen Aquí se presentan varios ejemplos interesantes de argot de patentes. Proporcionan una idea de lo que se puede esperar cuando se buscan y se leen patentes. Asimismo, ayudan a ilustrar el tipo de dificultades que puede encontrar cuando realice búsquedas por palabra clave. Esta diapositiva y las siguientes (opcionales) proporcionan ejemplos en los campos de: electrónica tecnología general ingeniería mecánica química productos farmacéuticos Spherical objet with smooth filaments to ensure and facilitate its seizure = toy ball Set of balls= ball bearing 3.0

Use specific patent words and expressions Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Use specific patent words and expressions Electric oower supply for electronic circuits = battery semiconductor that switches the device by means of a control electrode Electric couoling means galvanically isolated Phototransmission device = LED (light emitting diode) = transistor Layout to extract power from an electric wire = current colllector = transformer 3.0

Use specific patent words and expressions Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Use specific patent words and expressions sheet = door or window Fixing means = nail, screw or rivet Enlarged element Means to accumulate and store energy = spring = pipe, cable or optic fibre 3.0

Use specific patent words and expressions Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Use specific patent words and expressions Blocking device Flexible element = U-retainer, etc. = membrane o diaphragm 3.0

Some advices to improve the search Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Searches by using the World Industrial Property Organization classification - WIPO All patents, at the moment to be recorded, have to be classified with a code corresponding to the WIPO classification system El Sistema de Clasificación Europeo ECLA es un sistema jerárquico de clases tecnológicas. Está estructurado en forma de árbol, con nueve ramas. Esta diapositiva muestra el nivel jerárquico superior del sistema ECLA. La búsqueda en la clasificación permite dos opciones: Ascender y descender por la clasificación haciendo clic con el ratón, para encontrar la clase correspondiente. Buscar las clasificaciones mediante palabras clave: buscar palabras en la descripción de clase tecnológica. Una búsqueda por palabras clave en las descripciones de clase de tecnología es muy diferente de una búsqueda por palabras clave en las propias patentes. En lugar de buscar en el texto único de cada patente, se busca en la descripciones de las clases de tecnologías que han sido redactadas por los expertos de la oficina de patentes. En las diapositivas siguientes utilizaremos como ejemplo una búsqueda para sistemas de aire acondicionado en autobuses. 3.0

Some advices to improve the search Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Searches by using the World Industrial Property Organization classification - WIPO The search engine will give back the classes corresponding to the keyword. Each code is referred to a specific topic in which buses or coaches air conditioning system can be classified 3.0

Some advices to improve the search Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Searches by using the World Industrial Property Organization classification - WIPO And deeping a bit more, some subsections will appear into each classification code Esta diapositiva ilustra el carácter jerárquico del sistema de clasificación ECLA. La clase que nos interesa, B60H1, es una clase que está incluida en el campo “TÉCNICAS INDUSTRIALES DIVERSAS, TRANSPORTE” → “VEHÍCULOS EN GENERAL" → “DISPOSICIONES O ADAPTACIONES DE CALEFACCIÓN, REFRIGERACIÓN, ..." La clase B60H1 cuenta con subclases adicionales que ofrecen aún mayor grado de detalle. Cada subclase contiene menos patentes que la clase superior. Si únicamente estamos interesados en sistemas de aire acondicionado que funcionen al margen del vehículo y puedan ser transportados (es decir, que no estén instalados de forma permanente en el autobús) sólo podemos seleccionar la subclase /00B2. Seleccione la casilla que figura a la derecha del nombre para copiar los símbolos en el recuadro denominado "Copy to search form“ (copiar en el formulario de búsqueda).  3.0

Add more criteria to your seach Inventions searches Some advices to improve the search Searches by using the World Industrial Property Organization classification - WIPO Add more criteria to your seach En la pantalla "Advanced Search" (búsqueda avanzada), puede restringir el ámbito de su búsqueda aún más. Por ejemplo, puede optar por que se muestren únicamente las solicitudes de patente de un determinado solicitante o inventor. Haga clic en "SEARCH" (buscar) para mostrar todos los documentos clasificados bajo B60H1/00B2. Only application from a certain year? Only applications published by a certain inventor? 3.0
