DFP LEVEL 1

Device Patents

Product Patents (Physical / Digital)

A great invention need not be a great patent. The fact that it is being written by someone else (patent professional) most of the times, the ability to translate the important claim elements is often left to their understanding.

Design for Patentability™ (DFP) is a powerful innovative design methodology that is based on a rational and disciplined process. It employs an efficient suite of tools and methods for improving existing products and technologies as well as for developing winning next-generation products. These approaches can also be used to develop the required functionality, reduce the cost of manufacturing processes, enabling the new and improved products to be brought to market with a very high probability of being patented.

Why DFP level 1 learning is required?

The primary necessity of DFP® level 1 learning is to understand how to apply IP strategies in order to build a strong invention that your competition can’t circumvent.
Do you know the best drafted patent can be circumvented legally? It takes millions of Rupees to develop technology and you can leave the opportunity for the competition to build their technology at your expense. Do you want learn how not to make it happen?
Similar to Innovation strategies, we have patent strategies and this is not meant alone for IP professionals. As entrepreneurs or intrapreneurs, it is important to know what aspects are critical to negotiate deals effectively and this can be done by understanding the patent strategies. How many IP strategies are you aware of?
You might see some of your peers file many patents and often you think how they can and you can’t? Do you want to learn a science that teaches you how to play IP as a sport and develop strong inventions?
With inventions happening at a rapid pace across the world, many a times you come with potential solutions and notice that it needs to boost the patentability criteria in order to make a good invention? Do you want to take control of how to develop strong inventions and not on patent firms?

What would you learn in DFP level 1?

– basics of Intellectual Property for patent protection
– methods of walking around competitive patents: trimming and substitution
– how to get “Freedom to Operate” navigating through the Doctrine of Equivalents
