Is Your Invention Patentable?

To file a patent in the United States, your concept must meet three requirements of 1) novelty 2) non-obviousness and 3) utility. In plain English this means your invention must be new and useful. Your application will be rejected if the invention:

• is already known or in use
• has been previously patented or described in writing in a printed publication
• was in public use or on sale for over one year prior to the application

Conditions for successfully filing a patent are a bit more nuanced than just these criteria. A patent lawyer can determine if your invention meets the criteria for novelty and non-obviousness.
