There are three types of patents. They are: a) Utility patents which may be granted to anyone who invents or discovers a machine, vital process, composition of matter, article of manufacture or any useful improvement thereof; b) Design patents may be granted to anyone who creates a new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture; lastly c) Plant patents may also be granted to anyone who creates or discovers at same time asexually reproduce any distinct and new variety of plant.

What is vested by patent is not right to make, use, offer for sale, sell or import but right to EXCLUDE others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing said creation or invention. If patent has already been issued, patentee must enforce it without assistance of United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The gist of this statute is to grant authority to protect discoveries and creations. In order to be patented an invention must be novel, useful, and not of an obvious nature. Now, creators/inventors can shun their worries about having works copied or used without their permission.

If someone was injured in accident or if it involves a vehicle amounting to more than $500, you should report same to Department of Motor Vehicles in a period of not less than 10 days. Report should also be made to insurance companies. You must also institute a claim against other driver’s insurance company for damages.

In connection with claim, bear in mind that it is advantageous to seek a personal injury attorney to make process easy and smooth-flowing. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you yield fair compensation regarding your loss. If insurance company does not like to compensate you, then, personal injury lawyer can aggressively pursue a suit on your behalf in order for you to get right compensation.
