Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: Can a Business structure be Patented?

Business ideas are not patentable but there are many aspects of business ideas that may be protectable in other ways. "Business processes" are currently accorded patent protection but not everything fits into the category of a business process. There are circles in which business process patents are in disfavor and there is a lot of pressure on Congress to limit them.

There is some instructive information on the Internet regarding business process patents. That might help you determine whether your ideas rises to the level of a patentable invention. If so, you should call a patent attorney.

My firm focuses on developing businesses and might be able to help in the areas do not involve patent applications. If I can be of further help to you, call or email.
