What You Can Patent

The USPTO have established a broad area of things on which it will consider granting patents. It is possible to patent anything that you have invented or designed, a new plant you have found, a business method, or an improvement of a previous invention.

Items that have historically been granted patents are usually:

• Items which are new to the general public.
• Items which are considerably different than any other item which has received a patent.
• Items which are practical.

These are the types of inventions that the USPTO will generally look favorably on.
