statutory invention registration

Read a random definition: commercially significant noninfringing use

A quick definition of statutory invention registration:

Statutory invention registration is a way to make an invention public by publishing its abstract in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Official Gazette. This makes the abstract a reference for other inventors to use. The process results in the abandonment of the patent application. If an alternative form of disclosure is used, the prior-art reference's effective date is the date of publication.

A more thorough explanation:

Statutory invention registration is a process in which an invention is placed in the public domain by publishing the patent abstract in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Official Gazette. This makes the abstract a prior-art reference as of the application's filing date. The process results in abandonment of the patent application.

For example, if an inventor wants to protect their invention but also wants to make it public, they can use statutory invention registration. By doing so, they can publish the patent abstract and make it available to the public while still protecting their invention.

Overall, statutory invention registration is a way for inventors to share their ideas with the public while still maintaining some level of protection for their invention.
