5 QUESTION What are the requirements for a Patent? Slide 5 of 25
6 Requirements for a Patent useful the invention, when made, must perform some useful function novel the invention must not have been known or used by others in this country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country not obvious the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art [must not] have been obvious at the time the invention Slide 6 of 25
7 GROUP QUESTION If the prior art includes: is this patentable? flashlight with crank and battery radio radio with crank and a mechanical storage device Slide 7 of 25
8 Answer Claim 11 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,917,310 states: A portable electric device comprising: a generator having a rotatable shaft; a gear train coupled to said rotatable shaft; a mechanical energy storage device.; a handle coupled to said source, whereby rotating said handle adds mechanical energy to said source; a power control circuit coupled to said generator and configured to prevent an uncontrolled release of said mechanical energy from said source by controlling a voltage output of said generator; and a radio coupled to said power control circuit. Slide 8 of 25
9 QUESTION If the prior art includes: is this patentable? satellite radio with crank and a mechanical storage device Slide 9 of 25
10 Answer The difference between a terrestrial and satellite radio wave receiver is probably not a patentable difference. Slide 10 of 25
11 Abstraction Schematics Valuable Patentable Detailed flow charts Implementation/Code lines Slide 11 of 25
12 Summary An invention may be patentable if claims can be written that distinguish the invention from previous inventions. Slide 12 of 25
13 QUESTION What actions are considered an infringement of a patent? Slide 13 of 25
14 Infringement of a Patent Whoever without authority makes, uses, or sells any patented invention, within the United States, or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent infringes the patent. The term of a patent expires 20 years after the filing date. Slide 14 of 25
15 Steps of an Infringement Analysis The determination of whether an accused product or method infringes a claim of patent includes two steps: 1. Interpreting the claim, and 2. Comparing the interpreted claim with the accused product or method. Slide 15 of 25
16 GROUP QUESTION Does selling of this radio infringe U.S. Patent No. 5,917,310? radio with air pump and a mechanical storage device Slide 16 of 25
17 U.S. Pat. No. 5,917,310 states: 11. A portable electric device comprising: a generator having a rotatable shaft; a gear train coupled to said rotatable shaft; a mechanical energy storage device.; a handle coupled to said source, whereby rotating said handle adds mechanical energy to said source; a power control circuit coupled to said generator and configured to prevent an uncontrolled release of said mechanical energy from said source by controlling a voltage output of said generator; and a radio coupled to said power control circuit. Slide 17 of 25
18 Answer The radio with the air pump does not include: A portable electric device comprising: a generator having a rotatable shaft; a gear train coupled to said rotatable shaft; a mechanical energy storage device.; a handle coupled to said source, whereby rotating said handle adds mechanical energy to said source; a power control circuit and configured to prevent an uncontrolled release of said mechanical energy from said source ; and a radio coupled to said power control circuit. Therefore, selling the radio does not literally infringe Claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 5,917,310. Slide 18 of 25
19 Summary A product (or method) may infringe a patent if it contains all of the elements of a single claim of the patent. Slide 19 of 25
20 GROUP QUESTIONS 1. Is this radio patentable? 2. Does selling the radio infringe U.S. Patent No. 5,917,310? radio with a mechanical energy storage device, a crank, and a solar energy collector. Slide 20 of 25
21 Answers 1. Nothing in the prior art teaches the following element: a control circuit for enabling said generator and said panel to charge said capacitor. Therefore, the generator device is patentable. 2. The radio, however, includes every element of Claim 11 and therefore infringes U.S. Patent No. 5,917,310. Slide 21 of 25
22 QUESTION What is the relationship: Patentability and Infringement? Slide 22 of 25
23 Answer Infringement No Infringement Not Patentable Satellite Freeplay Retro radio Patentable Solar Freeplay Air pump radio Patentability and Infringement are unrelated issues. Slide 23 of 25
24 Summary An invention may be patentable if claims can be written that distinguish the invention from previous inventions. A product that incorporates the invention may infringe an existing patent if it contains all of the elements of a single claim of the patent. Slide 24 of 25
