How To Successfully Obtain Blockchain Patents – Intellectual Property

As with other rapidly-evolving technologies, the blockchain
space is experiencing a frenzy of patent activity. The data shows
that there are 3-4 times as many published applications as there
are issued patents for these concepts. This trend strongly suggests
that the number of blockchain-related patents will surge in the
next couple of years. However, due to recent changes in patent law,
it is more important than ever to ensure that you analyze the
patentability of blockchain inventions in light of these changes to
target inventions likely to result in patents.  Once likely
patentable inventions are identified, it is critical to draft
patent applications and claims based on  knowledge of how the
Patent Office has treated prior blockchain patent applications to
maximize the likelihood of obtaining commercially meaningful, valid
patents.  For more information, view our Flipbook.
