	Patent clerk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A patent clerk or patent examiner is an employee, usually a civil servant, working within a patent office.
		Major employers of patent clerks are the European Patent Office, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Japan Patent Office.
		The work of patent clerks usually includes searching patent and scientific literature databases for prior art, and substantively examining patent applications, that is examining whether the claimed invention meets the patentability requirements such as novelty, "inventive step" or "non-obviousness", "industrial application" (or "utility") and sufficiency of disclosure.

		A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or applicant for a limited amount of time (normally maximum 20 years from the filing date, depending on extension).
		Patent licensing agreements are effectively contracts in which the patent owner (the licensor) agrees not to sue the licensee for infringement of the licensor's patent rights.
		A patent application (other than a design patent) must explain how to practice (i.e., make and/or use) the invention(s) and must also include claims that particularly point out the invention(s) and define the scope of the subject matter for which exclusive rights are sought by the patent applicant.

	Patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to a person for a fixed period of time in exchange for the regulated, public disclosure of certain details of a device, method, process or composition of matter (substance) (known as an invention) which is new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable.
		Patents are typically enforced through civil lawsuits (for example, for a US patent, by an action for patent infringement in a United States federal court).
		An important limitation on the ability of a patent owner to successfully assert his or her patent in civil litigation is the accused infringer's right to challenge the validity of that patent.

		We routinely assist clients in developing patent policies and procedures for making sure that an invention is fully documented from the moment of conception through reduction to practice and that protection is timely obtained.
		For example, we rely on their Patent Examiner experience in determining when and how to conduct personal interviews with examiners assigned to examine applications that we are prosecuting.

		For example, some smaller countries, such as Belgium or the Netherlands [1] grant a patent almost automatically or with minimal examination compared to what happens in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Japanese Patent Office, or the European Patent Office.
		An example is given by the "combover" patent (U.S. Patent 4,022,227, filed December 1975), which has also been awarded the 2004 Ig Nobel Prize in engineering for its apparently unintentional ridiculousness.

		With little more to show than a rejected doctoral thesis from a few years before, this 26-year-old patent clerk, who practiced physics in his spare time and on the sly at work, declared brashly that the physicists of his day were "out of [their] depth" and went on to prove it.
		In the spring of 1905 the young "patent slave," as Einstein called himself, sent a letter to his friend Conrad Habicht to tell him that he had some "inconsequential babble," a reference to a series of papers that he was going to send him.

	TIME 100: Albert Einstein
		Pushed to the fringe of physics by his prickly pacifism and an academic career that seemed designed to annoy his professors, the future emblem of genius was, at the time — the very words have become an Algeresque cliché — just a Swiss patent clerk.
		Preternaturally confident and suitably unkempt, the 26-year-old Einstein sent three papers, papers scrawled in his spare time, to the premier journal, "Annalen der Physik," to be published "if there is room." They all made the same issue, and they did exactly what he imagined they would: change the world.
		(The patent clerk explained it.) The third, wrote Einstein matter-of-factly in a letter to a friend, "modifies the theory of space and time." Its import: Everything's relative.
