Patentability of combined inventions [Inventive step of invention] [Rewritten version]

This article is about the patentability of combined inventions (inventive step of invention).

(Q) Suppose two things (A and B) are known.

Will a combination of the two (A + B) not be patentable?

(A) It may be patentable.

Please see below for cases where it will and will not be patentable.

<Explanation>

An invention is not the thing itself, but an intangible technical idea.

A combination of A and B (A + B)

✔As a thing, it is A + B,

✔As an invention, it is the "idea of ​​combining A and B".

Patentability is judged on the "idea of ​​combining A and B".

If the "idea of ​​combining A and B"

✔is new (novel) and not easy (inventive step),

A + B will be patentable even if A and B are publicly known.

As mentioned above, when you think about whether your invention will be patentable,

it is good to remember that you should compare "inventions and inventions" rather than "things and things."

(You can also say "thoughts and ideas" or "ideas and ideas.")

■Other ways of thinking about the inventive step of an invention

These are just three points of casual conversation.

(1) If all things that combine existing things were denied patentability,

→ almost everything in the world would not be patentable.

(2) I found something called "Takuan Chocolate" on the Internet!

It is a takuan coated with chocolate.

Innovative! Perfect for Valentine's Day? (lol)

Takuan and chocolate are both publicly known.

But what about the idea of ​​"combining takuan and chocolate"?

If this idea is new and not easy to understand, it will be patentable.

✔ "Takuan chocolate" is not a patent as a "thing"

✔ "The invention of takuan chocolate" is a patent

= "The idea of ​​combining takuan and chocolate" is a patent

That is what it means.

(3) "Tsukemono chocolate" and "Caramel-coated takuan"

What if you were to apply for a patent for these?

"Takuan chocolate" is publicly known.

These would not be patentable.

"Takuan chocolate" is publicly known

= "The idea of ​​combining takuan and chocolate" is publicly known

Using that idea,

✔ Using takuan instead of takuan

✔ Using caramel instead of chocolate

These are easy to come up with.

■ What did you think?

At our firm, we use the knowledge of a former patent examiner to specialize in the following.

✔ Patent research on what inventions have existed in the past

✔ Comparison with previous inventions (judgment of inventive step)

When aiming to obtain a patent,

✔ Conduct patent research

✔ We recommend a patent strategy of creating documents based on the results of a patent research
