How To Determine If Your Invention Is Patentable


Listen Later

In this episode of the Agency Spark Podcast, Sara talks with Devin Miller on how to determine if your invention is patentable.

Devin Miller is an entrepreneur who is also a patent and trademark attorney. Devin has obtained several degrees including a Law degree (JD) and a Masters in Business Administration. He even has degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mandarin Chinese.

While working for a large law firm helping Fortune 100 clients like Amazon.com, Intel, Redhat, and Ford with their intellectual property, Devin quickly realized that there weren’t many good intellectual property legal resources out there for start-ups and small businesses.

As an entrepreneur, Devin wanted to help other small business owners learn about patents, trademarks, and copyrights so they can build value into their businesses and protect their assets.

In addition to founding and running my own patent and trademark law firm, Miller IP Law, he is the co-founder of several startups including a multi-million dollar startup for wearable glucose monitoring.

The key topics discussed:
  1. Functionality and utility are essential
  2. What's unique about your invention
  3. The two primary standards for figuring out whether or not something is patentable - novelty and obviousness
  4. How to conduct patent research
  5. Unpacking the whole patent process
  6. When is it time to go to an attorney
