Why Patent Documents?•Applicants must truthfully disclose each detailed process and method used for their innovation, revealing what they seek to own.
•Patent documents are a matter of public record, making retrieval seemingly easy, yet dauntingly difficult.
•USPTO uses a complex classification system, like the Dewey Decimal Classification® on steroids, allowing researchers to search by numerous categories, classifications, dates, inventors, assignees (who owns it), and many more.
| - Patents are like walls built & protected by the Government - With a crowded patent landscape, it's difficult to move around (innovate) with low litigation risk - If innovators have strong patents, they are building walls keeping their competitors out, and creating more revenue streams |
