Final Project: Legal Authority


Madeline DiCicco is a co-worker of mine that just so happens to be a lawyer.  Madeline works for a firm that specializes in Commercial Litigation; Business Litigation; Wrongful Death; Contracts; Business Transactions; Administrative Law; Commercial Transactions etc.  I know a lot of this information might not all be useful to me but she does happen to know a thing or two about fashion & practicing the right steps in licensing a product.  I couldn't really trust any other lawyer other then Madeline, just because I've known Madeline personally and I know she would give me the honest answer to any of my questions.

"The "field" of an invention is colloquial for the classification or sub classification into which an invention falls."
Patent, Copyrights & Trademark pg. 82"

"However, effected June 2000, every patent is guaranteed an in-force period of at-least 17 years." 
Patent, Copyrights & Trademark pg. 88 

"Relatively simple objects that don't have working or moving parts, manufacturers, sometimes also called, "articles of manufacture," is one of the five categories of inventions that can be patented." 
Patent, Copyrights & Trademark pg. 107

A claim in a patent application that was initially rejected by a patent examiner as being to broad may be redrafted so that the claim no longer overlaps with the prior art and, therefore, describes a novel and non obvious invention."
 Patent, Copyrights & Trademark pg. 111

"An invention must have novelty to claim for a patent"
Patent, Copyrights & Trademark pg. 119
