Is My Invention Patentable? The Two-Part Test Explained by a UK Patent Attorney
How do you know if your invention can be patented? There's a clear two-part test that every patent office uses, and understanding it could be the difference between filing a strong application and wasting your money.
In this video, a UK patent attorney walks you through:
• The concept of "prior art", and why even your own publications can block a patent
• Part 1: Novelty, does your invention include something genuinely new?
• Part 2: Inventive step, would the improvement be obvious to an expert in the field?
• Real-world examples of how the test is applied in practice
• Why patent applications are really a story about how your invention differs from what came before and why that matters
Whether you're an engineer, product developer or business owner, this video will help you assess whether your idea is worth protecting before you commit to the filing process.
