IÎn evaluarea dezvoltării brevetului de inovație pentru rucsacul cu efect Coanda lenticular, este esențial să se ia în considerare caracteristicile unice și potențiala brevetare a invenției propuse. Conceptul de rucsac încorporează două folii aerodinamice lenticulare cu efect Coanda care sunt alimentate cu aer comprimat prin tuburi de presiune conectate la un compresor la sol (Zeebroeck et al., 2009) . Acest design permite o experiență de rucsac ușor și portabil, compresorul fiind alimentat fie de benzină, fie de electricitate, acesta din urmă necesitând un prelungitor și o sursă de alimentare (Zeebroeck et al., 2009) . Compresorul, montat pe un cărucior cu roți pentru mobilitate, reglează presiunea aerului livrat către foile aerodinamice, care poate fi controlată prin mânere de pe rucsacul purtat de utilizator (Zeebroeck et al., 2009) . Potențialul de brevet al acestui rucsac inovator constă în noutatea și lipsa de evidență a acestuia, în special în aplicarea a două folii aerodinamice lenticulare în combinație cu un compresor portabil și un sistem de reglare a presiunii (Zeebroeck et al., 2009) . În timp ce efectul Coanda este un principiu bine stabilit, combinația specifică de elemente din acest design prezintă un concept unic și potențial patentabil. Portabilitatea și ușurința de utilizare oferite de această invenție ar putea fi considerate progrese neevidente față de modelele de hoverboard existente, consolidându-și și mai mult potențialul de protecție prin brevet (Zeebroeck și colab., 2009) . În structurarea revendicărilor de brevet pentru rucsacul cu efect Coanda lenticular, este esențial să se sublinieze componentele și funcționalitățile cheie ale invenției. Structura revendicării brevetului ar trebui să includă prevederi pentru cele două profiluri aerodinamice lenticulare, tuburi de presiune conectate la aceste profiluri aerodinamice, un compresor legat de tuburile de presiune și mijloace de reglare a presiunii pentru controlul presiunii aerului furnizat profilurilor aerodinamice (Zeebroeck și colab., 2009) . În plus, revendicările de brevet ar trebui să specifice variații ale sursei de alimentare pentru compresor, indiferent dacă acesta este alimentat de un motor pe benzină sau de un motor electric, cu opțiunea unui prelungitor și a unei surse de alimentare (Zeebroeck și colab., 2009) . În plus, includerea unor caracteristici, cum ar fi un rucsac pentru transportul mijloacelor de reglare a presiunii și mânere pentru reglarea presiunii, adaugă specificitate revendicărilor de brevet (Zeebroeck și colab., 2009) . Considerațiile din stadiul tehnicii sunt cruciale în evaluarea noutății și inventivității rucsacului cu efect Coanda lenticular. Deși efectul Coanda este un principiu bine-cunoscut, este necesară efectuarea unei căutări aprofundate din stadiul tehnicii pentru a identifica brevetele sau publicațiile existente care pot descrie modele similare de hoverboard (Zeebroeck și colab., 2009). Această căutare va ajuta la determinarea domeniului de protecție a potențialei brevet pentru invenția propusă și va evidenția orice aspecte unice care o diferențiază de tehnologiile existente. În plus, includerea unei descriere detaliată a invenției, împreună cu desene, diagrame și specificații tehnice, în cererea de brevet este esențială pentru a demonstra noutatea și utilitatea rucsacului cu efect Coanda lenticular (Zeebroeck et al., 2009) . Consultarea cu un avocat de brevete este recomandabilă pentru a naviga în mod eficient în procesul de solicitare a brevetelor. Avocații în brevete pot oferi îndrumări de specialitate cu privire la elaborarea cererii de brevet, analiza stadiului tehnicii și alte aspecte ale urmăririi penale a brevetelor, asigurându-se că cererea îndeplinește standardele legale necesare pentru protecția brevetului (Zeebroeck et al., 2009) . Colaborând cu un avocat de brevete, inventatorii își pot îmbunătăți înțelegerea procesului de brevetare și pot crește probabilitatea de a obține cu succes un brevet pentru designul lor inovator al rucsacului. În concluzie, rucsacul cu efect Coanda lenticular prezintă o invenție nouă și potențial brevetabilă care combină principiile efectului Coanda cu elemente de design inovatoare pentru o experiență de rucsac portabil și ușor de utilizat. Prin structurarea revendicărilor de brevet cuprinzătoare, efectuând cercetări amănunțite din stadiul tehnicii și căutând îndrumări juridice de specialitate, inventatorii pot maximiza potențialul de brevet al conceptului lor inovator de rucsac.
