Patent Journey: From Confusion to Clarity in Protecting Inventions

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9789948610137

If you find intellectual property confusing, legal-heavy, and far removed from the technical world of an innovator, you are not alone. For many researchers and innovators, understanding IP in a practical and accessible way remains a challenge.

The Patent Journey takes an unconventional, story-driven approach to explaining patents and intellectual property without assuming a legal background. Through the journey of a researcher stepping from the familiar world of research into the less familiar world of intellectual property, the book explains how patents and IP fit into real-world research, technology, and invention development.

Inside the book, you will learn about:

  • the fundamentals of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets, and know-how,
  • patentability requirements such as novelty, inventive step, and excluded subject matter,
  • AI and machine learning inventions,
  • practical approaches to assessing novelty and inventive step,
  • patent search strategies and patent costs,
  • how patents are drafted and structured,
  • filing strategies and the European patent application process,
  • search reports, examination, and grant procedures,
  • and practical appendices with IP templates, invention evaluation tools, legal references, and an extensive IP glossary.

Whether you are preparing your first invention disclosure, exploring commercialization, or simply trying to understand how patents fit into your work, The Patent Journey is also your journey.

Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data
As artificial intelligence and big data analytics reshape economies and societies, the promise of innovation is increasingly shadowed by concerns over inclusion, equity, and global justice. This accessible, interdisciplinary volume brings together established and emerging voices from across the world to critically examine issues lying at the intersection of innovation, intellectual property, and inequality in the age of artificial intelligence and big data. <p/>Featuring empirical studies, legal analyses, policy critiques, interdisciplinary perspectives, and global insights, <em>Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data</em> underscores the tremendous impact gender, race, and other socioeconomic factors have on innovation and intellectual property ecosystems. This volume also explores structural barriers in these ecosystems, diversity initiatives in the patent area, metrics for measuring inclusivity and diversity in innovation, changes brought about by artificial intelligence and big data, and the evolution of the global innovation and intellectual property systems. <p/>In an era marked by rapid technological change, extraordinary opportunities, and deepening inequality, this volume offers carefully designed reform strategies and policy recommendations to make innovation and intellectual property ecosystems more equitable, effective, and socially responsive. <p/>This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.
