It is possible to enter a new invention project in Orbit Asset. For example, when a new invention declaration is sent for analysis before a patent application is filed, it may be interesting to enter this information as a project in the system.
"Inventions" (or projects) can be associated to several statuses:
- Project in progress: This status means that no decision on filing or abandonment has yet been taken.
- Filing is in progress : This status means that a decision has been made to file a patent, but that the filing procedure is still in progress.
- Protection Filed: This status means that it has been decided to file a patent.
NB: You will of course be able to switch the project status to 'Abandoned' if needed.
The creation of a new project (or invention disclosure) involves the creation of a new family.
When the project is created, its status will be automatically set to "Project in progress".
To do this, simply click on the + button, at the bottom right, fill in the reference and title of the new family and select "Project in progress" (see video below).
