Pronalasci se javljaju kao jedan od rezultata stvaralačkog rada koji se štite patentom ili malim patentom, pod uslovom da je podneta patentna prijava. Pronalasci su vrsta inovacija koji imaju tehnički karakter, jer nude rešenja nekog tehničkog problema i mogu da se odnose na bilo koju oblast tehnike. U osnovi pronalaska su određene tehničke karakteristike, kao predmet (tačno definisan kroz patentne zahteve), za koje se traži zaštita. Patentna zaštita je pravo koje se priznaje njegovom nosiocu sa ciljem ekonomskog iskorišćavanja pronalaska. Da bi neki pronalazak dobio patentnu zaštitu mora da bude patentibilan odnosno da ispunjava sledeće uslove: postojanje pronalaska, novost, inventivni nivo i industrijska primenljivost pronalaska. Uopšte, kod ispitivanja ovih uslova, treba poći od nacionalne zakonske regulative iz oblasti patentne zaštite, koja precizira šta se sve ne smatra pronalaskom i šta se ne može štititi patentom odnosno malim patentom. Ispitivanje uslova patentibilnosti vrši se u određenoj fazi postupka ispitivanja prijave patenta od strane stručnih lica iz oblasti tehnike na koju se pronalazak odnosi. Ako su ispunjeni svi zahtevani uslovi, kaže se da je pronalazak patentibilan i da se može vršiti njegova patentna zaštita. ; Inventions are the results of creative work protected by patents or petty patents, provided that the patent was filed. Inventions are the kinds of innovations of a technical character because they offer solutions for technical problems and they can relate to any area of technology. In its essence, each invention has specific technical characteristics (precisely defined through patents claims) that are sought to be protected. Patent protection is the right which admits the holder to achive the goal of economic exploitation of the invention. In order to get the invention patent protection, an invention should be patentable, i. e. it should meet the following requirements: the existence of the invention, novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability of the invention. In general, the study of these conditions should start from the national legislation in the area of patent protection which specifies what cannot be considered as an invention and what cannot be protected by a patent or petty patent. The examination of patentability is done in a particular stage of the examination procedure by experts in the technical field which the invention relates to. If all the required conditions are met, it is said that the invention is patentable and that the patent protection is possible. Introduction The introduction explains the concept of the invention and the patent as well as the conditions that must be met for an invention to achieve the patent protection. It also points the way of examining the conditions of patentability with particularities when it comes to patent protection of confidential inventions. The existence of the invention The aim of this work is to point out that, in examining the conditions of patentability in the patent protection procedure, the start is to determine the general fact of the invention existence. For this purpose, it is necessary to bear in mind what cannot be considered as an invention and what cannot be protected by a patent or petty patent. The notion of "discovery" is explained in more detail, with the reasons why it cannot be protected by a patent. Novelty of an Invention This section explains the question of the existence of invention novelty, as a condition for patentability. An invention is new if it is not included in the state of the technology. Besides the technology state, the date of patent claim submission is very important in determining novelty. To determine the existence of novelty, among other possible sources of verification, it is important to search available patent documentation as a very useful and important source that contains a large amount of technical information. For novelty consideration, it is allowed to use data from only one document from the technology state. Inventive step The aim of this section is to show the existence of the inventive step of the invention. An invention involves an inventive step if the invention does not stem obviously from the technology state when considered by experts in the relevant field. The terms "expert" and "obviousness" are also explained. Objectively determining the existence of an inventive step means that the examiner implements an approach that "focuses on the problem and its solution". For the inventive step examination, it is allowed to combine one or more documents, parts of documents or other parts of the previous technology state with the closest previous technology state. Industrial applicability of the invention Industrial applicability is one of the patentability requirements. The invention is industrially applicable if the subject of the invention can be manufactured or used in any industry. The invention must be applicable for the production of goods or services in order to secure the market position for its holder. The applicability of the invention should not be associated with to the utility of the invention. Conclusion In the end, it is particularly pointed out that, for the patent protection "an invention must meet the following requirements for its patentability: it must exist, be new, have an adequate inventive step and it must be industrially applicable. During the procedure of patent protection, the determination of the compliance with the requirements of patentability is performed by experts in the relevant technical field. If all conditions are met, then the invention is patentable and can be protected by a patent.
