「あなたの発明では特許取れません」と言われたときに検討すべきこと【リライト版】
「この発明では特許取れません」と言われました。
どう考えればいいでしょうか?
根拠がないなら、きちんと特許調査を行いましょう。
そのうえで、特許を出すことも検討されてはいかがでしょうか。
決して珍しい依頼ではありません。よくあることです。
「この発明では特許取れません」
と言われたということですね。
例えば、すでにその発明が世の中で知られている(公知)などです。
その根拠を示してもらうといいと思います。
✔すでにその発明で特許が出されているかどうか?
で判断されることが多いものです。
そうすることで、特許になるかどうかを判断することができます。
これが「特許調査」です。
(弊所では基本的に全て特許になっていますが結果論にすぎません。)
✔ムリ・ムダ・ムラな特許を出さずに済み、コスト削減になります。
効果的な特許戦略が目指せます。
発見された特許を参考にして発明の改良を行うこともできます。
特許のご依頼を頂き、結果的に、強い特許を取ることができました。
あわせてご覧頂ければ幸いです。

Things to consider when you are told that your invention cannot be patented [Rewritten version]
(Q) I made an invention, so I consulted with someone.
I was told, ``This invention cannot be patented.''
What should I think?
(A) Ask them to show you the basis for ``not being able to obtain a patent.''
If there is no basis, please conduct a proper patent search.
After that, why not consider filing a patent?
<Explanation>
■An unusual request?
After someone has consulted us regarding a patent, we may be contacted.
This is not an unusual request. This is common.
For example, in the following situations:
✔If the person you consulted is not a patent attorney
✔If you are a patent attorney but do not accept requests from individuals
✔Know that our office specializes in individual support
Now to the main topic.
■Things to consider when you are told that your invention cannot be patented
From the person you consulted
“This invention cannot be patented.”
That's what I was told.
The person you consulted probably had some basis for what they said.
For example, the invention is already known in the world (publicly known).
I think it would be good if you could show me the basis for that.
Some people judge based on intuition that it is unlikely that they will be able to obtain a patent.
(This is often a decision made by someone who is not a patent attorney.)
✔You won't be able to get a patent for such a simple invention!
✔Who would have thought of an invention like this before?
If this is the level of judgment, it is quite dangerous.
Basically, whether it is patentable or not,
✔Has a patent been issued for the invention?
It is often judged by.
In other words, find out whether a patent has been issued for the invention.
By doing so, you can determine whether or not your patent will be granted.
This is a "patent search."
■Develop effective patent strategies by conducting patent searches
Even if you conduct a patent search, it cannot be said with 100% certainty that you will obtain a patent.
(At our office, basically everything is patented, but this is just a matter of result.)
However, the following patent strategies can be developed through patent research.
✔① It is unlikely that we will get a patent, so we will put it on hold for now.
✔② After making an improved invention that is likely to be patented, issue a patent.
Among our customers, there are quite a number of people who fall into ① and ②.
For ①,
✔There is no need to issue patents that are unnecessary, unnecessary, or uneven, resulting in cost reduction.
For ②,
Aim for an effective patent strategy.
You can also improve your invention by referring to discovered patents.
There is someone who invented an improved version at a time when I had completely forgotten about it.
We received a request for a patent, and as a result, we were able to obtain a strong patent.
Other effects of patent searches include:
✔③ Prevent the manufacture and sale of invented products from infringing on the patents of others
There are also other effects.
