I was looking to file a patent for something else but I’m not sure if it’s eligible for a patent. Let’s say kirigami paper art, but instead of paper, another material is used. For example, tiles for your bathroom that use thin sheets of tile to create this art. I don’t know what the utility would be other than it looks good. No specific design. Just a different application for kirigami.
Whoa!! I had never heard of "Kirigami" - i just googled it, and saw it is like origami but with cuts to make a 3D shape of paper. So, if you used tile or other material substance instead of paper, I think there could certainly be some value in the machine/method of creating thin sheets of tile. Aside from aesthetic, there could be some use cases where flooring or wall tile (think bathroom) could benefit from lighter weight tile (perhaps requiring less adhesive/putty to apply, not being so laborious to carry/transport, and being less prone to breakage, be less expensive, etc.). These would all be great utilities/functionalities of the invention of a thinner tile material/structure. I think both the machine/device that makes it as well as the final structure of the tile is patent eligible.
I'm already with Bold patent and gave all the ideas on paper so I don't understand why I am getting all this information now I was told it was going to be sent to patent office for review and hopefully it gets signed into patent because all research was done and I up graded my old patent I'm just waiting for results
Jose, you are ahead of most inventors! Congrats to you and your progress. The world is a fast-changing place, and even us patent attorneys have to update and improve as technology does. With ChatGPT and other AI sources, we are just now recommending that those that are getting started use these tools to make things better/easier for them. So, on your next invention (which I'm sure you'll have one) I highly recommend checking back here on this channel.
