Two Key Points Regarding Patents When Starting a New Business [Revised Edition]

Imagine you are launching a new business with a new product or service.

Here are some important things to keep in mind regarding patents.

You could also think of this as "what matters when moving forward with a business while leveraging patents."

This article is also useful if you plan to use crowdfunding.

<Two Key Points Regarding Patents When Starting a New Business>

✔① Obtain a patent to prevent others from imitating your work.

✔② Ensure you do not infringe on others' patents.

There is a single "keyword" common to both of these points.

Please be sure to read until the end.

■① Obtain a patent to prevent others from imitating your work.

You are going to the trouble of launching a new business with a new product (or service).

Naturally, you do not want others to easily imitate that product.

Seeking a patent is one way to prevent product imitation.
(Patents offer several other benefits as well.)

To obtain a patent, the product must be original.

Is the product truly original?

To determine this, it is effective to research existing patents.

In other words, you conduct a "patent search" (★1).

■② Ensure you do not infringe on others' patents.

When running a business, you must not infringe on the patents of others.

Infringing on another party's patent can lead to criminal penalties or civil liability for damages.

It could even jeopardize the entire business!

How can this be avoided?

You simply need to find out what patents already exist.

In other words, you conduct a "patent search" (★2).

■When starting a business, conduct a thorough patent search and file for a patent!

The keyword for this article was "patent search."

The patent searches in (★1) and (★2) differ in content.

If you entrust this to a professional, they can conduct a comprehensive patent search for you.

In many cases, conducting the patent search for (★1)...

→ ...effectively means you have also conducted the patent search for (★2).
(We will discuss this point in detail in a separate article.)

Therefore, the conclusion regarding key considerations for patents when starting a business is:

✓ Conduct a thorough patent search before filing your patent application!

Doing so allows you to simultaneously achieve two goals:

① Obtaining a patent to prevent others from imitating your work

② Avoiding infringement of others' patents

Furthermore, conducting a patent search before filing offers an additional benefit:

③ You can use the patents (inventions/ideas) discovered during the search as references.

This can lead to improvements in your products or services.

It can also help refine your new business venture.
