「あなたの発明なら特許取れます」と言われたときに検討すべきこと【リライト版】
「この発明なら特許取れます」と言われました。
どう考えればいいでしょうか?
根拠なく言っていることもあるかも知れません。
その場合、十分に特許調査を行ってから特許を出したほうが無難です。
■珍しい依頼ではない
決して珍しい依頼ではありません。よくあることです。






その根拠を示してもらうといいと思います。
✔市場にその発明品が存在しないから、特許が取れそうだ!
そう判断する方がいます。
しかし、市場に存在しない→特許が出されていないとは限りません。
その発明について、特許が出されているかどうかを調べる
→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。
(弊所では現時点ではすべて特許になっていますが、結果論です。)
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。
結果的に、より良い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 can be patented [Rewritten version]
(Q) I made an invention, so I consulted with someone.
I was told, ``This invention can be patented.''
What should I think?
(A) Ask them to show you the evidence that "a patent can be obtained".
You may be saying things without any basis.
In that case, it is safer to issue a patent after conducting a thorough patent search.
<Explanation>
■It's not 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 the person you consulted is a patent attorney, but does 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 can be patented
The person you consulted said, ``You can get a patent for this invention.''
Honestly, it's hard to think of such a conclusion.
However, the person you consulted probably had some basis for what they said.
I think it would be good if you could show me the basis for that.
It seems that there has never been an invention like this!
If that's the case, it's quite dangerous.
This is often a decision made by someone who is not a patent attorney.
✔ Since the invention does not exist on the market, it seems likely that a patent will be obtained!
There are people who think so.
However, not existing on the market does not necessarily mean that a patent has not been issued.
Conversely,
Find out whether a patent has been issued for the invention
→You can decide whether or not it will be patentable.
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, all of our products are patented at the moment, but this is just a result.)
By conducting a patent search, you can develop patent strategies such as the following.
✔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.
If you choose ①, you won't have to issue unnecessary, unnecessary, or uneven patents.
Those in ② can aim for an effective patent strategy.
You can also improve your invention by referring to discovered patents.
After some time has passed, I have received a request for an improved invention.
As a result, we were able to obtain a better and stronger 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.
