発明の効果と特許性について～人生をポジティブに！【リライト版】
そんなイメージがあるかも知れません。
もちろん、大きな効果がある発明は、それはそれで重要です。
ただ一般論としては、そこまで求められるものではありません。
✔発明の効果が「大きい」ことは必ずしも必要ありません。
✔発明の効果が「存在する」ことが必要です。
✔どんな発明も、なんらかの効果が存在します。
ある意味「なんとでも言える」わけです。
✔特許になるためには「発明の効果」はそれほど重要ではない
そういうことになります。
特許の世界で最も難しい判断の一つです。
一見、マイナスとも思える出来事にもです。
ふつうはマイナスの出来事でしょう。
例えば、
✔けがをしないよう気を付けるようになった
✔入院するという経験が得られたなど
（ちなみにこれは、わたしが骨折して入院したときの実体験です。）
それでも、見方を変えれば、発明の効果になるはずです。
その点は気を付けてください。
１％プラスの方だけを、発明の効果として主張すればいいのです。
そんな意味でしょう。

About the effectiveness and patentability of inventions - Make your life positive! [Rewritten version]
●About the effects of inventions and patentability
A patent is an invention that has tremendous effects!
There may be such an image.
Of course, inventions that have great effects are important in their own right.
However, in general terms, this is not something that is required.
In other words, in order to obtain a patent,
✔It is not necessarily necessary that the effect of the invention be "great".
✔The effect of the invention must “exist”.
And if you think about it, you'll understand,
✔Every invention has some kind of effect.
In a sense, you can say anything.
Therefore, the conclusion is that
✔In order to obtain a patent, the "effect of the invention" is not so important
That's what happens.
●What is important is not the “effect” of the invention, but the difference in “configuration”
So what is important?
What is important is the "difference in structure" compared to conventional inventions (prior patents).
Regarding the "difference in configuration", the difference must be "large".
This large difference in structure is called the inventive step of the invention.
This is one of the most difficult decisions in the patent world.
If the "configuration" is different, you can definitely say that the "effect" is due to that.
In other words,
The configuration is different → The effect is also different (exist) → Patented
That's what it means.
●Can you say anything about the effects of the invention?
I wrote that the effects of the invention were ``indescribable.''
This may be a bit of an exaggeration, so I will add some additional information below.
Every event in the world has a positive side, depending on how you look at it.
This may even seem like a negative event at first glance.
For example, consider an event where you were injured and hospitalized.
Usually it's a negative event.
Depending on how you look at it, you can think of it as a positive event!
for example,
✔Now I am more careful not to get hurt
✔ Gained experience of being hospitalized, etc.
(By the way, this is my actual experience when I suffered a broken bone and was hospitalized.)
In other words, negative events and positive events are two sides of the same coin.
The same effect applies to patented inventions.
Suppose your invention has some negative points compared to previous inventions.
Still, if you look at it differently, you should see the effect of the invention.
Even if it is 99% negative, if it is 1% positive, it becomes a patent.
Certainly, if you only claim 99% minus, it will be difficult for the examiner to grant a patent!
Please be careful about that.
Only the 1% plus need to be claimed as the effect of the invention.
●Even the seemingly negative events in life must have a positive side.
What did you think.
The same is true in life: there is always a positive side to every event.
There is a famous saying that goes, "Everything but death is a scratch."
It's okay to try different things and fail!
That's what it means.
I would like to take this opportunity to add one more thing.
✔Everything other than death is just a scratch, and you can learn a lot from scratches!
It's fun to live life positively!
