Internet Book Watch: Will It Sell? was specifically written for anyone considering bringing their invention to market. A key consideration in marketing a new idea or product is to determine its profitability, especially before investing capital on a patent. James White's practical, "reader friendly" informational manual will provide the non-specialist general reader with inexpensive techniques and practical steps to take in assessing whether or not their invention will be commercially viable. Fundamental issues are clearly addressed such as what a patentable invention is, the step for "idea development" and "product development"; advertising claims, getting professional help, even doing your own patent search. Dozens of Internet resources are provided with instructions for how best to utilize them. If you have an idea or an invention that you want to make money with, begin by a carefully reading of James White's Will It Sell?

Pharmaceutical and other high tech science industries require patent protection to justify the risks of expensive research. Without protection a copycat could bring the same product to market without the expense of research, enabling them to undercut price. This might benefit the consumer in the short term with lower prices, but it will destroy incentives to innovate. Ultimately this would lead to no new pharmaceutical and other research-intensive products. There is a delicate balance between allowing patent protection for something truly innovative and denying if for a pedestrian advancement. It is the patentability standard of obviousness, where the proposed invention would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art, that controls this balance. The difficulty for courts in determining obviousness, and thus patentability, is hindsight bias. When someone already knows how an invention works it is all too easy to consider it obvious, yet before learning about the invention, the same person would not have been able to envision the invention. The Supreme Court in KSR recently revived an approach to determining obviousness through a test known as “obvious to try.” The “obvious to try” test attempts to determine whether the approach to create the invention would have been obvious to try by a person of ordinary skill. The danger with the “obvious to try” test is that it is especially susceptible to hindsight bias because it uses the inventor's own reasoned approach to solve a problem against him. The effect of extensive use of the “obvious to try” test will be to deny patent protection for logically guided research, while rewarding patent protection for inventions obtained through irrational behavior or luck. This will upset the balance of patent protection for innovative inventions by denying protection to those inventions derived though good research, and lead to a decline in new research-intensive products. Consequently, there must be a reasonable factor to rebut obviousness found through the “obvious to try” test. This factor should be significant unexpected results of the invention, because if a result is truly unexpected, then the invention could not have been obvious.

The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates. A Patent System for the 21st Century urges creation of a mechanism for post-grant challenges to newly issued patents, reinvigoration of the non-obviousness standard to quality for a patent, strengthening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, simplified and less costly litigation, harmonization of the U.S., European, and Japanese examination process, and protection of some research from patent infringement liability.

This Guide aims to assist users in searching for technology information using patent documents, a rich source of technical, legal and business information presented in a generally standardized format and often not reproduced anywhere else. Though the Guide focuses on patent information, many of the search techniques described here can also be applied in searching other non-patent sources of technology information.
