What Are the Challenges in Patent Protection for Catalysis?
Several challenges can arise in securing patent protection in catalysis:
Complexity of Inventions: Catalytic processes and materials are often complex, making it difficult to clearly define the invention in the patent claims. Prior Art: Extensive prior research in catalysis can make it challenging to prove novelty and inventive step. Global Protection: Securing patent protection in multiple jurisdictions can be costly and time-consuming.
