What are Patent Modules?

Maybe your not familiar with our Patent Modules and how you can benefit from them.

First let take a quick look at what a patent is. A invention patent is a design or process that has been "patented" by the inventor. The design or process has been filed with the Patent Office. The patent office then decides if the patent will be issued and this process can take quite some time to complete, that is why you will often see "patent pending". Patent filing for an invention can be within the United States or International. A patent provides a form of protection for the inventor and the product or process that they have invented. This doesn't mean someone won't try to find a way around the design, but the patent gives you a legal recourse for anyone that violates your patent protection.

So why would someone want to have patent designs? This one is easy and there are many reasons. Here's just a few of the more common reasons someone may be interested in our patent modules:

• Design Research- If you have a design of your own or are developing one, you will need to research other patents that have been issued.
• Progressive Research- If you have a idea you may need to research what is already available, whether you can legally improve it, and how you could advance it.
• Knowledge Seeker- You just have a thirst for knowledge a enjoy learning about inventions and how they are designed and function.
• Curious Mind- Maybe you'd like to understand how a design functions and works, what makes it tick.
• Teachers- You need to show your students how a design works, how a patent is written, how to improve a design, and more
• Much More!- There are many more reasons why somebody would like to have a collection of patent designs.

So what are DIYinnovation.com's patent modules?
The simple answer would be that Patent Modules are a researched collection of Invention Patents that you can use for your own research, invention ideas, and can help you understand a particular design or how something works.
We have taken a specific "invention", let's say your looking for "gun holsters" for whatever reason, our Gun Holster Module would fill that need. You will receive over 180 complete patent designs of JUST gun holster patents. No need to research for dozens of hours and to piece together a patent collection of designs, we have done that for you and compacted it all into one "Patent Module"!
This make is much easier for you and you can narrow the type the design type your looking for. Aircraft landing gear patents, handcuff patents, farm tractor patents, flood barrier patents, Fresnel lens patents, survival gear patents, silencer patents, No problem!


No matter the subject we will come out with it. Our patent modules are very specific to a particular design so you only get what you need or want. No fluff!

Common Patent and Invention Terms and Definitions:

• Patent- A property right granted by the Government of the United States of America to an inventor “to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States” for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted.¹
• Patent Infringement- Unauthorized making, using, offering to sell, selling or importing into the United States any patented invention.¹
• Patent Application Publication- Pre-Grant Publication of patent application at 18 months from priority date.¹
• Patent Family- A patent family is the same invention disclosed by a common inventor(s) and patented in more than one country.¹
• Patent Number- Unique number assigned to a patent application when it issues as a patent.¹
• Patent Pending- A phrase that often appears on manufactured items. It means that someone has applied for a patent on an invention that is contained in the manufactured item. It serves as a warning that a patent may issue that would cover the item and that copiers should be careful because they might infringe if the patent issues. Once the patent issues, the patent owner will stop using the phrase "patent pending" and start using a phrase such as "covered by U.S. Patent Number XXXXXXX." Applying the patent pending phrase to an item when no patent application has been made can result in a fine.¹
• Patentable- Suitable to be patented; entitled by law to be protected by the issuance of a patent.¹

The term patent usually refers to a right granted to anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof. The additional qualification utility patents is used in countries such as the United States to distinguish them from other types of patents but should not be confused with utility models granted by other countries.
A patent is not a right to practice or use the invention.[1] Rather, a patent provides the right to exclude others[1] from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention for the term of the patent, which is usually 20 years from the filing date. A patent is, in effect, a limited property right that the government offers to inventors in exchange for their agreement to share the details of their inventions with the public.
A patent is requested by filing a written application at the relevant patent office. The application contains a description of how to make and use the invention and, under some legislations, if not self evident, the usefulness of the invention. The patent application may or must also comprise "claims". Claims define the invention and embodiments for which the applicant wants patent rights.¹
