How do you improve a product that already exists?

So, the 5 key steps to improving a product are: Find a point of improvement. Develop features or change elements based on that point. Analyze if the changes had any positive impact. Find out how you can improve that point even more (if you have found it, go back to step 2) Once done, move on to another point.

Can I patent an improvement to an existing patent?

Can you patent a new use for an old product? You cant patent an existing or old product. However, you can patent an improvement to an old product or a new use for an existing or old product as long as the new use is nonobvious. Moreover, the new use cannot be inherent in the use of the existing or old product.

Can you modify a patented product?

The Court has made clear that modifications that go beyond mere repair and instead remake or repurpose the product will infringe the underlying patent.

Can you improve on an existing patent?

How do I amend a design application?

The applicant can file a request for amendment of class, drawings, novelty statement and disclaimers in the representation sheet of a design application. While considering such requests, only such an irregularity is allowed to be corrected which does not cause any detriment to the interests of any person.

Can you add to an existing patent?

Unfortunately, under United States patent law you can not amend the patent to include the new subject matter reflecting the improvement you made to the invention. You will have to file a new patent application for the improvement to the invention instead of filing an amendment to the patent.

How much do you need to change a design to avoid a patent?

Theres no rule about how much you can modify a product to avoid infringement. In the technical sense, infringement isnt about the difference between a product and a patent. In fact, a product may appear to be very different and still infringe. Instead, infringement is about the claims.
