Chapter 2 in Fundamentals of Patenting and Licensing for Scientists and Engineers, 2015, pp 27-57 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: An understanding of the patent system is important for inventors, as any carelessness, misunderstanding or breaking of the law by any party may result in the rejection of a patent application or the invalidation of a patent, even after it has been granted. This chapter gives an overview of the patent system and a brief summary of the patent laws about which engineers and scientists should be aware.
