Multi-level protection of inventions as a tool for successful commercialization
Abstract
The article provides examples of complex patent protection of objects in the field of chemical compositions, production technologies and equipment. The options for dividing the product into key technologies and auxiliary technologies are analyzed, and the main stages of building legal protection for both specific objects included in the product and the product as a whole are proposed. It is explained that a patent document is not only a source of information, but also a mechanism for maximizing profits in the commercialization of development, as well as a way to solve problems that arise when bringing a product to market. The urgency of building a reliable product legal protection strategy will most likely reduce the financial risks of bringing the product to market and maximize revenue from its sale. The purpose of the study is to review possible options for the legal protection of complex technologies when introducing new technological products to the market, as well as to systematize information in the field of patenting strategy development. General scientific research methods were used in the work: methods of directed and systematic search, formal logical, comparative and systematic analysis, systematization and classification. Information search was carried out using open sources of information. The final selection of materials was carried out by the method of expert evaluation by FIPS staff. The result of the work is the systematization of information on the stages and elements of building a strategically correct integrated protection technology. The most appropriate way is to divide complex technology into protectable objects and choose the most optimal way to protect it for each element, as well as to build a protection strategy in the time range. The information presented in the article will allow both developers and patent attorneys to build reliable legal protection of products, which will help reduce the financial risks of bringing a product to market and increase the reliability of occupying target market niches.
