Intellectual property acumen (about patents, designs, and trademarks) is a very important key for business.

IIntellectual property acumen (about patents, designs, and trademarks) is a very important key for business.
In order to increase profits, it is necessary to eliminate sweat-shop working conditions.To do this, it is necessary to create new techniques and designs by employing deep insight. However, even if an act of creation has been performed, the person concerned may not notice.The inventor may not even realize that he has made an invention.

We are capable of solving this problem.

Thus, people who have accepted us into their organization inevitably advance to successively greater heights of prosperity, because they obtain intellectual property that can eradicate copying. We will be happy for you to follow our suggestions in this spirit. 

We are Intellectual Property Pilots!

Wise Foresight

My trick for overcoming difficulties

(1) Take everything I have been worrying about back to a blank slate, and think about it again from the beginning, completely rearranged.
When rearranged, actually, the ultimate sources for worry will become extremely small and few.

(2) Determine upon the time for worrying.

(3) Maintain a forward-looking spirit by leading a well-regulated life with rhythm and distinction.

(4) Consider not only how to overcome ordeals, but also how ordeals can be made meaningful, how they can be utilized, and how they can be given meaning in order to grow.

(5) Open one's mouth wide by singing and talking. And raise a sweat by moving one's body.

Q1. Why are patents necessary?

A1. Because they make a contribution to society by increasing profits.

Your creations will be supplied to the public, and, as soon as they appear on the market, parasites will certainly appear who plan to make money dishonestly by imitating them. Thus a philanthropist who has no interest in making money, and - out of love for his fellow man - wants everyone to benefit financially, has no need for a patent. However, this type of philanthropy amounts to degrading people. Moreover, it confuses economic activity and tends towards the destruction of civil society. And somebody who wants to create something new needs his interests to be protected by law. Patents are the economic aspect of the benefit and protection of the law.

 

Q2. What is a patent (or an invention, or an idea)?

A2. Something new that you have thought of can be patented.

Sometimes, as a result of examination, the idea is judged not to be new. However, it is quite rare for something you have newly thought of and created only to be something already in existence. In many cases, although there is some new feature in what has been thought of, this new feature has not been appreciated. A problem is that often, although an invention has been made, the essential point of that invention has not been noticed. We are confident that we can help with such discoveries.

 

Q3. What new idea can be patented?

A3. First, the novel feature must be identified.

Next, the technical benefits provided by this novel feature must be identified.
If these two conditions are satisfied, a patent can certainly be obtained.
It should be understood that we recommend you to consult an expert for finding these two features

 

4. Why apply for a patent?

A4. While there is some overlap between the reasons for needing a patent application and the reasons for needing a patent, there are some differences.

The following are the most important differences.
The mere filing of a patent application can prevent imitation by others to a certain extent.
It may be sufficient merely to eliminate such imitation, without incurring any further cost and without actually getting a patent. Of course, sometimes it is necessary finally to acquire a patent. In particular, it is considered to be very desirable to have patent protection if the goods in question will be on the market for a long time.
However, if some elimination of imitation is considered to be enough, it is considered that even the mere application for a patent can be beneficial.
In other words, we do not necessarily consider that obtaining a patent is the final objective.
We consider that getting a patent is only a means for making a contribution to society by raising profits.
The final objective is to contribute to society by increasing profits

 

Q5. Why are utility models and designs necessary?

A5. For the same reason as patents.

What can be registered, and what can be registered if you think of it, are the same as with patents.

 

Q6. Why is trademark registration necessary?

A6. If your goods are supplied and sold all over the world, somebody will certainly appear who plans to make money by imitating the name you have used

Thus a philanthropist whose attitude to everybody is "Go ahead - you may do business using the same name" does not need to register a trademark. Moreover, a person does not need to register a trademark if, upon receipt of a demand from a person who has been imitated to change to another name since he has registered that name, his attitude is that he is happy to change. However, a person who thinks that a demand from somebody else to change the name, or imitation, is unreasonable, does need to take appropriate legal countermeasures. The above are the reasons for registering a trademark.
