The first step to a patent draft
Can an R&D team find the initial assessment and work out what to do next? We're planning a short task to find out.
What we're exploring
When your R&D team has a technical idea, it can be hard to tell where to begin with a patent application. We're looking at the first visit to Invention Village. Can R&D and technical leads see what the site helps them do, find the initial assessment, and decide what to do after reading it?
The session we're planning
In a short session, we'll ask you to use the homepage to find where you'd start assessing a fictional invention. Then we'll show you a sample assessment and ask what you think it covers and what you would do next.
If you lead R&D or help prepare inventions for patenting, you can volunteer for a session or email feedback on the experience. Use the fictional example and keep details about your own work private.
