Patents

Patentable ideas sometimes are conceived by accident, others are composed out of necessity. The point is that ideas often translate into patents. And once an invention becomes patent pending through the filing of a patent application, the inventor is on the road to a potentially lucrative endeavor that is unique and legally protected.
For an idea to be termed an invention, one must have an idea and then reduce it to practice. In other words, an inventor must be capable of explaining how the idea will be reproducibly applied in a real world example. Inventions include tools, games, toys, electronics, vehicle parts, high-tech devices and low-tech devices. Unique and non-obvious modifications to existing inventions also can be patented.
Inventors do not need to build a model or prototype of an invention to make sure that it actually works. They only must be able to describe how the idea will be embodied or practiced. Most commonly, an inventor writes down an idea and draws pictures or flow charts of how the idea will look or be practiced.
