An introduction to patents - what is a patent and what can I do with it?
Imagine, you have developed an AI led diagnostic tool which provides oncologists with a percentage score of how likely it is that a patient’s mole is cancerous. You want to commercialise it, but how do you stop others from copying your invention without your permission and competing against you? How broad is the protection offered and how long does it last? Should you share the details of your invention to potential investors (or other third parties) before you have obtained a granted patent? Is your invention even capable of being protected by a patent? Our expert patent team answer key questions that inventors in similar situations should consider before launching a new product.
