quickly research any new idea to see whether anyone has already patented it
come up with the best keywords to describe your invention and target your search
classify your invention based on the U.S. Patent Classification System
figure out whether your idea is new enough to qualify for a patent
verify the patent status of ideas submitted to you (if you’re a developer), and
use the latest federal and international search-related resources.
