Maneet developed a new and original design for a kayak. This design allows it to be towed
Question:
Maneet developed a new and original design for a kayak. This design allows it to be towed behind a boat and used for extreme sports. Maneet named her design the X‑Kay. Which of the following is correct if Maneet wants to protect her design with a patent?
If Maneet applies for the patent and marks the kayaks “patent pending” when manufactured, then her design is protected. | |
If Roger has already applied for a patent on the same design before Maneet applied, but Maneet can prove she designed it first, then she will receive the patent. | |
If Paul has a patent for the same design registered in Portugal, then Maneet’s application can have priority over Paul’s in Canada if she applies here first. | |
If Maneet has a patent registered in Canada and Sarah makes a minor change to Maneet’s design that she names Rapid-Yak, then this infringes on Maneet’s patent. |
