7. Are patent rights territorial?
Patent protection applies only in the country in which the patent is granted. It gives a patent owner the right to bring an injunction to stop a third party infringing an invention protected by a patent i.e. a third party cannot use, sell, hire or import the patented products or processes without the authorisation of the owner. The case of Agilent Technologies
Sometimes when you go over your finances, it is often compelling to worry about how all that income was spent. For most people, money appears to just slip away in small amounts. Ten dollars here, twenty dollars there; all these seems to add up to reasonable and sometimes disturbing expenses. Of course, it is also normal to protest that you are not spending any extra amount. But that won't solve the problem.Come to think of it, we all waste money on a regular basis. Worst still, we don't even have to think about this expenses. The first step in taking control of your expenses is to critically look into where you spend your money without any thought. We all have cravings and illusions that eat up our money. These are where the major chunk of our wasteful spending goes. Once you know what habits are costing you money, you can take steps to fix them and start working towards controlling your expenses.There are so many things that we argue that we simply can't live without. We argue that these items make life easier and without them, life will be difficult. However, in the real sense these items only make us spend unnecessarily. For example take a look at the numerous charges and fees you pay monthly. The call forwarding feature that you never really make us of, the unlimited long distance calls that you never really need, the faster internet connection that is not actually faster than what you've been using; are all things that make you waste money without realizing it. Look into all the extras you pay for on a regularly basis, differentiate between what you can and can't live without. You will be surprised to realize that you can do, conveniently, without those extras. And your savings will be better for it.Taking control of your expenses also require you to be mindful of every charges, fees or commissions you pay. In most cases, people just pay whatever they are charged even if it incorrect. In 2007 resolve to pay only what you owe. Cross check every bill you receive and have any error fixed before you pay. Even if it's just $10, it is still your money and it is better saved than wasted. Paying for bills you didn't owe could take another dimension. Think about it, how many times, in the past year, did you signed up for memberships that you never took advantage of? For examples, gym memberships that you didn't cancel for months after signing up and never going
1. Are intellectual property assets?
Without a doubt, intellectual property (IP) is one of the most important assets that a company will own. IP can be licensed, bought, sold, hired or mortgaged like any other form of property. One of the main sources of IP is from the results of research and development work. In order for companies and individuals to maintain the value of their IP, they must ensure a sufficient level of protection and safeguard against infringing a third party’s IP, writes Dr Rosanna Cooper.
2. What are intellectual property rights (IPRs)?
Intellectual property right is the right to use intellectual property. IPRs fall within two main categories, registered and unregistered rights. Patents, trade marks and registered designs are registrable rights. Unregistered IPRs include copyright, designs, brands and know-how. Domain names can be classed as quasi-registered rights.
3. How to obtain a UK patent?
Patents protect inventions such as processes and products. Patents in the UK are obtained by filing an application with the UK Patent Office. On examination of the application, the Patent Office determines whether a patent should be granted. The application goes through various stages and can take up to four years before it is granted, although under the UK system, the process can be expedited.
Should patent searches be carried out?
It is always worthwhile to carry out relevant patent searches to establish the risk of infringement.
4. What is the test for patentability?
To be patentable, an invention must satisfy each of the following conditions:
5. What is the priority date?
On the filing of a patent application, the owner of the invention has 12 months from the filing or priority date in which to file foreign patent applications.
6. How long does a patent last for?
It is good practice to decide, as early as possible, on an international patent filing strategy. An investor should be made aware of the significant costs involved in obtaining international patents.
Is should be noted that the inventor may not necessarily be the owner of the invention as an employer will own any invention made during the course of employment. A registered patent protects inventions by giving the owner of the invention a 20 year monopoly right of exploitation.

Being a small business owner is not easy. Apart from the problems that the small business owners have to face in operating business, the severest of problems is in raising capital. It is not easy to raise capital for business use; particularly in an environment in which small business owners are accorded a status similar to borrowers with bad credit. Self employment is considered a bad credit case because of the unstable income generation through small business. It is said how a small business owner will pay fixed installments on a loan if he has not made much income (profits) in a particular month. Banks and financial institutions are thus not receptive to the demands of the small business owners.However, a loan can be designed particularly suited to the small business owners. Few lenders, who did not want to lose on the opportunity of lending to the rising group of small business owners, devised such loan. It is known as small business loan. Small business loans are advanced to small entrepreneurs who invest it in a series of purposes like expansion of their facility, buying technology, purchasing new tools and equipments, and also to buy raw materials and pay wages to workers.Lenders advance small business loans on the principle of moderate risk, which is no different from lending any other loan. The principle of moderate risk implies lending by keeping sufficient cover against risks. Therefore, while designing the terms of the small business loans, lenders are often seen to be using this principle. Take for instance, the rate of interest. The rate of interest charged on small business loans is higher than the normal. Similarly, lenders will only lend a limited sum on small business loans. These are sufficient proof of the manner in which lenders prepare for any risk that may emerge in the future.What differences can a borrower notice in small business loan, which goes in his favour? Borrowers can get an arrangement designed by which they can repay loan installments with ease. Small business loan with a flexible repayment schedule sufficiently solves the problem of the self employed people. Through a flexible repayment schedule, borrowers do not need to make repayments of a pre-specified amount and a pre-specified period. Depending on the income that they are able to salvage in that period, they can make repayments accordingly. Therefore, in certain mont

Showroom and tradeshow displays both have many options for design. Literature displays, banner stands, and showcases are just to name a few. Each of these display fixtures should be considered with your products or display items to decide what will be most affective for your tradeshow or showroom display. You may decide to use one or many different fixtures to create the full message that you are trying to show.Literature racks or displays are made in a variety of designs, sizes, and styles and can accommodate many different display needs. Literature displays make it possible for you to show every piece of literature at one time rather than let them sit in a stack for people to sift through. It is important to give a browser a quick way to find what peaks their interest. Most people will not commit to looking through a stack of literature to find what they want, but they are very likely to pick up something that is in plain view that peaks their interest. Literature racks are often made from metal and come in either silver or black. They come is such varieties such as spinners, stands, and racks to help show more pieces. Keeping your magazines, books, and other literature easily identifiable and accessible to those passing by is the key to successful literature presentation in the showroom and tradeshow display atmosphere.Banner stands are portable and designed to have a quick set up in order to make banner display very practical for tradeshows. One of the most common banner stands is the standard easel. Much like an artists easel, it sits on three legs and is simpler to set up than a camera tripod. The banner or sign simply rests on the front, where it can be easily seen at eye level to those that are browsing by. Other stands are retractable, telescoping, or spring back. Though the easel is very practical, other designs allow for the hardware to be hidden form view, such as rollable banner stands. Each sign display fixture has positives and negatives. Those that hide hardware or have a better visual display may be more difficult to set up, when those that are easy to set up may not be the most appealing. Weighing the importance of quick set up against display design will help you make the right decision on the right banner stands.Showcases are the most expensive part of tradeshow and showroom displays. These are not usually good for quic

A search engine operates, in the following order: 1) Crawling; 2) Deep Crawling Depth-first search (DFS); 3) Fresh Crawling Breadth-first search (BFS); 4) Indexing; 5) Searching.Web search engines work by storing information about a large number of web pages, which they retrieve from the WWW itself. These pages are retrieved by a web crawler (also known as a spider) — an automated web browser which follows every link it sees, exclusions can be made by the use of robots.txt. The contents of each page are then analyzed to determine how it should be indexed. Data about web pages is stored in an index database for use in later queries. Some search engines, such as Google, store all or part of the source page (referred to as a cache) as well as information about the web pages, whereas some store every word of every page it finds, such as AltaVista. This cached page always holds the actual search text since it is the one that was actually indexed, so it can be very useful when the content of the current page has been updated and the search terms are no longer in it.This problem might be considered to be a mild form of linkrot, and Google's handling of it increases usability by satisfying user expectations that the search terms will be on the returned web page. This satisfies the principle of least astonishment since the user normally expects the search terms to be on the returned pages. Increased search relevance makes these cached pages very useful, even beyond the fact that they may contain data that may no longer be available elsewhere.When a user comes to the search engine and makes a query, typically by giving keywords, the engine looks up the index and provides a listing of best-matching web pages according to its criteria, usually with a short summary containing the document's title and sometimes parts of the text. Most search engines support the use of the boolean terms AND, OR and NOT to further specify the search query. An advanced feature is proximity search, which allows you to define the distance between keywords.The usefulness of a search engine depends on the relevance of the results it gives back. While there may be millions of Web pages that include a particular word or phrase, some pages may be more relevant, popular, or authoritative than others. Most search engines employ methods to rank the results to provide the "best" results first.

It gives a patent owner the right to bring an injunction to stop a third party infringing an invention protected by a patent i.e. a third party cannot use, sell, hire or import the patented products or processes without the authorisation of the owner. The case of Agilent Technologies Deutschland GmbH v Waters Ltd (2005) is a recent patent infringement decision.
8. What are the remedies for patent infringement?
The remedies available are damages (compensation for any loss suffered) or a percentage of profit made by a third party. The claimant can also obtain an order from the courts to have the infringing products destroyed. A recent case is http://www.rtcoopers.com/patent_infringement_aug.php
9. When can an invention be disclosed?
Disclosure is only relevant to patents, registered designs and know-how. If an invention is disclosed in any form (which could be oral, written or by use), the invention loses its novelty and the proprietor of the invention loses the right to obtain a patent for that invention. The following disclosures, before the priority date, can lead to an invention losing its novelty:
If the invention is published (even in an obscure journal);
If an invention is published on the Internet;
If the invention is disclosed at an international conference;
Publication of a patent application by the UK Patent Office;
An exception is where an invention is exhibited at an international exhibition within six months before the priority date in that case novelty will not be lost.
10. What is the position with the USA?
It should be noted that even if an application is published in the UK, it may still be patentable in the USA, as the invention date will be taken from the dated, signed and countersigned page of the researcher’s laboratory notebook which first described the invention.
11. Are Computer Programs patentable?
With the advent of the Internet and the growth in IT, companies are seeking to obtain patent protection for computer programs. Patents of computer programs are more readily obtainable in the USA and Japan than in the UK and the rest of Europe. The EPO and the UK Patent Office only granted patents for computer programs where the program brought about a technical effect. The Directive on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions (CII Directive) was rejected on 6 July 2005 by the European Parliament during Second Reading. It was intended to maintain the status quo of permitting the patenting of certain types of inventions involving the use of computer programs, providing they made a 'tec
