How to identify inventions worth protecting – Steve Sponseller

In this solo episode, I discuss the importance of evaluating inventions created throughout your organization. Some inventions are not worth protecting. To avoid patenting inventions with minimal value, it’s important to evaluate each invention based on the needs of your organization.

This episode covers Step 2 of my 3-step system to identify and protect your most valuable inventions (described in my book, Cracking the Patent Code):

Step 1: Identify All Inventions

Step 2: Evaluate and Prioritize Inventions

Step 3: Protect the Right Inventions

Listen to this episode so you understand how to properly evaluate all of the inventions created by your team.
