This article aims to shed light on the basic principles of the patent and patent law in the U.S., with special emphasis on the arts of bioelectronics and nanotechnology. This article is intended to assist a prospective inventor in protecting his or her valuable contribution to the bioelectronics and nanotechnology, by enumerating common pitfalls trapping the unwary inventor time after time and then by pointing out the paths to the safe haven. |
