Laurel Steddom Is Recent Bride
Each of these persons should
sign and date a written de­
scription of the idea. A ll sket­
ches, drawings and photographs
s im ila rly should be dated and
witnessed immediately. No no­
tarization o r other form ality is
necessary.
Original models should be
preserved, plus correspond­
ence, receipts fo r parts o r labor
used in developing the idea.
In this manner an Inventor can
build a record of proof which
w ill be available and admissible
in the event someone contests
his right to the patent.
After the inventor has con­
ceived his idea, he should act
reasonably diligently to reduce
the invention to practice. He
can either construct an operable
model of the invention o r file
a patent application in the U. S.
Patent Office.
Because the expense of pre­
paring and filin g a patent app­
lication is substantial, it is often
advisable to investigate care­
fu lly the commercial prospects
of a new product or process
before filin g .
Protecting An Idea
How can an Inventor best
protect his Invention o r idea?
This problem arises every time
a basement mechanic or a re­
search scientist finds he has
made an Important discovery in
the Industrial o r other practical
fields In which our patent laws
grant protection.
Since questions may arise as
to who was fir s t with the idea,
the inventor should take early
steps to insure he can prove
when he conceived his Idea.
A commonly-held,
f a ls e
belief Is that an inventor can
prove the date of his invention
by his own written description
which he has mailed to him ­
self by registered m all. As
legal proof this form of evidence
Is of little value. An Inventor
cannot prove facts In a patent
contest without corroborating
proof furnished by an outside
party.
The Inventor who has never
revealed his Invention to anyone
else has no satisfactory proof
of invention. Keeping it secret
from any cooroborating w it­
nesses Is one of the surest
ways to jeopardize an invention.
At the earliest possible time
the inventor should fully dis­
close his idea to one or two
reliable persons who would be
good witnesses at a later date.
It is also advisable at this
stage to have a novelty search
performed with the assistance
of a patent attorney or patent
agent to determine whether the
idea is really new or just a
slight variation on what has been
for the Game Cammissicm with
its limited personnel and facil­
ities to use it all.
Many groups and individuals,
after receiving advice and the
