Description

An invention is a new composition, device, or process. Invention can also be defined to include creative endeavors that extend beyond original, substantial improvements. An invention is also a new, useful, and nonobvious improvement of a process, machine, or product. Any invention which is new, useful, and nonobvious improvement of process can be patented. Inventions that involve processes, machines, manufactures, and compositions of matter, and any improvement thereof, are patentable. A license is a contractual right that gives someone permission to do a certain activity or to use certain property owned by someone else. Licensing agreement is an agreement between two enterprises allowing one to sell the other's property such as products or services and to use their name, sales literature, trademarks, copyrights, etc. in a limited manner. Besides license agreement terms, federal laws provide stiff civil and criminal penalties for pirating and other unauthorized use of other's property. A patent is a grant of a property right by the Government to an inventor. The United States Constitution gives Congress the right to provide for patent protection in legislation in order to encourage useful inventions. The patent itself provides a detailed description of the invention, and how it is used or how to make it. • how many inventions it has evaluated; • how many of those inventions got positive or negative evaluations (legitimate companies will have a fairly low acceptance rate, usually under 5%); • its total number of customers; • how many of those customers received a net financial profit from the promoter's services (that is, the number of clients who made more money from their invention than they paid to the company); and • how many of those customers have licensed their inventions due to the promoter's services (if the success rate is too low, between 2 and 5%, the company's services may not be worth your out-of-pocket expenses). A San Jose California agreement between an inventor and manufacturer granting a license to manufacture products from an invention is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms and conditions under which the manufacturer is authorized to produce and distribute products based on the inventor's intellectual property. This agreement serves as the foundation for a mutually beneficial relationship between the inventor, who holds the rights to the invention, and the manufacturer, who has the resources and expertise to bring the invention to market. By entering into this agreement, both parties can benefit from the commercialization of the invention. The San Jose California agreement typically includes the following key elements: 1. Parties involved: The agreement identifies the inventor as the licensor and the manufacturer as the licensee. The complete legal names and contact details of both parties are stated. 2. Description of the invention: A detailed description of the invention is provided, including any applicable patents, trademarks, or copyrights that are held by the inventor. 3. Grant of license: The agreement outlines the specific rights and permissions granted by the inventor to the manufacturer. This includes the exclusive or non-exclusive nature of the license, geographical restrictions, and any limitations on production quantity or time duration. 4. Manufacturing guidelines: The agreement may specify the quality standards, production methods, and materials to be used by the manufacturer while creating the licensed products. This ensures consistency and maintains the reputation of the invention. 5. Royalties and payments: The financial terms are a crucial aspect of the agreement. This section outlines the royalties or license fees to be paid by the manufacturer to the inventor, including any advances or milestone payments. The payment schedule and methods are also defined. 6. Reporting and accounting: The agreement may require the manufacturer to provide periodic reports detailing the production quantities, sales figures, and any other relevant information. This allows the inventor to monitor the performance of the licensed products and ensure compliance with the agreement. 7. Intellectual property protection: The agreement establishes provisions for protecting the inventor's intellectual property rights, including confidentiality clauses, non-disclosure agreements, and measures to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the invention. 8. Breach and termination: This section lays out the circumstances under which either party can terminate the agreement, along with the consequences of breaching the terms. It may include dispute resolution mechanisms such as arbitration or mediation. Different types of San Jose California agreements between inventors and manufacturers may vary based on the nature of the invention, the parties involved, and specific industry requirements. Examples of variations include exclusive license agreements, non-exclusive license agreements, technology transfer agreements, and joint venture agreements for manufacturing and marketing purposes. In conclusion, a San Jose California agreement between an inventor and manufacturer granting a license to manufacture products from an invention provides a legal framework for cooperation and commercialization.
