In an article about the patents held by the Research Services Office at the University of Waterloo, it was written that none of the patents were there because someone set out to invent something new. "If we knew what it was that creates innovation, we would all be millionaires... it's chance, brilliance, an offhand remark...." We know that to obtain a patent we need to have created an "invention." Which of the following best defines a patentable invention?
Household Appliance
Electrical or mechanical machines used in homes to perform domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and food preservation, enhancing comfort and convenience.
Automobile Tire
A rubber-based component fitted around the rim of a car wheel, providing traction and absorbing road shocks.
Concentration Ratios
