The handbook written assignment this week asks you to examine the decision to seek patent protection for an invention from a practical and business-oriented aspect. How do you determine whether or not an invention is worthy of patent protection and how do you prioritize among various potential patentable projects.
On the discussion board this week you listed relevant factors that should be considered when making that decision to seek a patent on an invention. In this written exercise you should take these potential factors and provide guidance on how to prioritize them. What are the most important and major considerations? Which factors are of moderate importance and what factors are of minimal importance?
This handbook is meant to be a guide for patent engineers about how to conduct the patent process in its entirety. So use this section of the handbook to provide guidance to a patent engineer that reads it about how from a practical aspect, they should go about the process of prioritizing their patent application considerations. Provide this guidance in 1,000 to 1,500 words. Your job in this assignment is to step into the shoes of a patent engineer manager and consider what advice you would give to a patent engineer that you supervised about how to rank potential patent options that are under consideration at any given time. Discuss the business and practical aspects of deciding what inventions are worthy of seeking patent protection for and how to prioritize filings among multiple possible patentable projects
