Can a patent attorney determine if an invention is patentable just by hearing the details? [Revised Version]

(Q) Surely a patent attorney can tell if an invention is patentable just from the details of the invention, right?

(A) It is not possible to determine patentability based solely on the details of the invention.

In fact, we do not make such judgments for the following reasons:

■ Can a patent attorney determine patentability?

At our firm, we hold a meeting with the inventor when a patent request is made.

We review the details of the invention and explain the patent process, fees, and other relevant information.

Items explained and confirmed during a free patent consultation

Our firm specializes in serving individuals and business owners.

We place great importance on communication with our clients.

I, the principal patent attorney, handle these meetings personally.

We review the details of the invention during the meeting.

At that stage, however, it is difficult to conclude, "This will definitely be granted a patent!"

Incidentally, there are cases where we *can* immediately determine that something will *not* be granted a patent.

This happens if we happen to know that the invention is already publicly known.

Conversely, we generally cannot make a definitive judgment that it *will* be granted a patent.

This applies no matter how amazing the idea is.

If a patent has already been filed for that same idea, it cannot be patented.

In any case, we do not make hasty judgments.

It is inappropriate to raise a client's expectations excessively.

■ Does an amazing idea guarantee a patent? Actually...

Furthermore, there are many types of "amazing ideas."

For example, an idea that produces "amazing results."

→ This carries a high risk that others might have thought of the same thing.

An idea that is "highly unexpected" is actually better.

→ This has a higher likelihood of being granted a patent.

■ Conducting a patent search increases the likelihood of determining patentability

As explained above, at the meeting stage:

✓ We cannot determine whether a patent will be granted, and

✓ We do not attempt to make that determination.

Conversely, we *can* make that determination if we conduct a thorough investigation after the meeting.

We can assess the likelihood of patentability with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

This process of thorough investigation is called a "patent search." Our firm conducts high-level patent searches leveraging the expertise of former patent examiners.

We believe that performing thorough patent searches serves the best interests of our clients.

This blog features numerous articles on the benefits of patent searches.

We invite you to take a look at them as well.
