Inventions Using Technology Are Possible Even Without Understanding the Technology's Intricacies [Rewritten Version]

I recently attended JAPANTEX, Japan's largest interior design exhibition.

The lectures on "IoT and Interior Design" were incredibly informative.

I will utilize the insights gained from the exhibition in our firm's future patent practice.

(The following content, while somewhat dated, is still relevant.)

■ Are Inventions Using IoT Irrelevant to Individual Inventors?

In short, IoT (Internet of Things) is:

✓ The connection of various objects to the internet.

For example, an AI-powered smart speaker that controls IoT devices with voice commands.

(At the time, "Google Home" and "Amazon Echo" were popular.)

You may have even said "OK Google."

I've deliberately used somewhat complex terminology, but what do you think?

Are inventions using such complex technologies the exclusive domain of large IT companies?

Are they irrelevant to individual inventors?

■Even without understanding the inner workings of the technology, inventions using that technology are possible.

Let's say you've invented something using a smart speaker.

You use the fact that a device can be controlled by a voice to achieve something!

Let's say you've made such an invention.

In this case, do you need to understand how the smart speaker works?

Would the invention be invalid? Would you be unable to obtain a patent?

Not at all.

You can treat the smart speaker as a black box.

A smart speaker is "something that can operate devices with your voice."

Understanding it to this extent is sufficient.

How does a smart speaker operate devices with voice?

You don't need to know the mechanism.

Even so, the invention is valid, and you can obtain a patent.

That's the kind of understanding you need for inventions!

If inventors had to know all the technology related to their invention...

If that were the case, inventions would be very rare.

For example, what if someone inventing a computer had to know,

"How does a computer work?"

What if they had to know that much?

People will stop trying to invent things related to computers.

That level of detail isn't necessary for an invention to be considered valid.

However, you shouldn't assume that even engineers in that industry don't understand it.

For example, "a smart speaker that makes a TV levitate"

An invention based on such a premise wouldn't be considered valid.

■ How was that?

Inventors don't need to know the technical details at the level mentioned above.

Incidentally, patent attorneys sometimes know those technical details.

In this case, the patent attorney may supplement the technical details.

However, you shouldn't expect too much from patent attorneys.

Don't end up asking a patent attorney to create the invention itself!

Please be careful about this point.
