- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) April 24, 2024 - Daniel A. Scola, Jr., Managing Partner at Hoffmann & Baron, LLP, was recently a guest on the ‘Law You Should Know’ radio show. He joined host Kenneth Landau to discuss protecting your ideas with patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
Scola and Landau highlighted the significance of intellectual property, with Scola comparing it to a fence around the protected idea. He stated, “Everybody knows real estate and they know that a fence is a boundary to keep people out. Well, intellectual property allows you to keep people from going on to your property. It's illegal to cross that boundary.”
Scola further elaborated, “There are three main criteria in order to get a patent. The first, is it has to have some utility…the second is, it has to be novel…And the last one, which is really the toughest hurdle, is it can't be obvious in view of things that have been done similar to it.”
Landau continued to question the do’s and don’ts of protecting ideas. Scola emphasized, “Well, number one, they procrastinate on doing something about it. That's one thing. Number two, they talk to other people about it. And that's actually one of the worst things they can do without getting a non-disclosure agreement in place because the law protects the first to file. And if you don't file before you disclose your idea, unless you're under NDA, you have a public disclosure and you're going to lose your rights.”
Hoffmann & Baron, LLP, work with a variety of companies from entrepreneurial to global, as well as research institutions.
