From idea to an evaluable description
A product family may contain several different mechanisms. The archive therefore distinguishes product family names from potential invention disclosures.
- A clearly defined technical problem
- A concrete mechanism and a description of its implementation
- Alternatives and their differences
- Examples, tests or prototype evidence
- Authorship and development traceability
- An independent review of novelty, rights and applicable restrictions
Inventory status
