Criteria for ‘patentability’
Patents are for “technological innovation”, though the
Patents Act 1977 fails to define the word “invention”
Inventions must be new - not known
anywhere in the world prior to the filing date
Inventions must have an ‘inventive step’ - not
obvious, a simple adaptation or combination
Inventions must be industrially applicable
and have a ‘technical effect’

Who owns Copyright?
Usually the first creator or author...
…or their employer if produced in the
ordinary course of their employment
However, a contractor will retain ownership
unless their contract is explicit to the contrary
Even if the creator sells their rights, they have
‘moral rights’ over how their work is used
