Three questions you might ask yourself to determine whether your invention is worth patenting are:
- Has it been done before? This helps determine if your invention is new or if prior art already exists.
- Does it work? Your invention must be useful and functional to qualify for patent protection.
- Will people want to buy it? Considering the market demand and competitiveness helps assess the commercial potential of your invention.
These questions address novelty, usefulness, and market viability, which are crucial factors in deciding whether pursuing a patent is worthwhile.
