Patenting And Statutory Invention Registration, Is There Any Difference?

Who would have thought that having an invention could be so much trouble. We all thought that the invention is the one that needs to be worked on but the real work comes after the invention when you have to register your invention.

Others call this patenting. Now to make this easier for inventors, government has allowed the use of statutory invention registration kit so inventor will be able to patent their invention and tie it to their name whether or not they want to make their invention known to the masses or if they have any plans of selling their inventions to the public. You have to understand that the statutory inventory registration and patenting is not the same thing.

Statutory Inventory Registration is the second step while patenting is the first step. You can have your invention patented and stop right there especially if you have no plans of going global on it. Having it patented is just being extra careful by tying the invention to your name. So you can have it patented but it does not necessarily follow that it is already registered. Actually the one who releases the registration is the patent office. So if you want to have it registered follow-it up from them.
