Three-fold Protection<br />

for Golden Opportunities<br />

Dr. Yoram Tsivion is a jack<br />

of all trades. He is one of those<br />

rare individuals the expertise of<br />

whom spans many fields, among<br />

these is the realm of intel<strong>le</strong>ctual<br />

property. Dr. Tsivion recognizes<br />

that know<strong>le</strong>dge is an asset.<br />

Dr. Tsivion’s firm emphasizes<br />

protecting intel<strong>le</strong>ctual property<br />

Dr. Tsivion<br />

as it is essential to business<br />

development.<br />

Property is often conceived of in terms of tangib<strong>le</strong> assets.<br />

However there are other kinds of property. Books and music<br />

may be copyrighted. Innovative products and processes in almost<br />

every field of technology may be patented. Trademarks designate<br />

attributes which link products to their source, and plant breeders’<br />

rights apply to novel agricultural crops.<br />

These properties are all intangib<strong>le</strong> human creations.. There is<br />

no physical barrier to prevent exploitation of them. In lieu of a<br />

such, the need arises for a “<strong>le</strong>gal fence” to protect the rights of<br />

creators or inventors.<br />

The law grants exclusive rights to the patent owner and prevents<br />

others from utilizing patented inventions. To acquire a patent one<br />

must apply to the designated government office..<br />

The patent application details specifications for the invention,<br />

means for imp<strong>le</strong>mentation. and “protection claims”, a precise<br />

definition of exclusivity claimed by the inventor or patent owner.<br />

The patent application must demonstrate that the invention is<br />

novel, unique, has an industrial use, and offers some benefit.<br />

Abstract ideas and models may not be registered as patents - except<br />

for “business methods”, recognized as patentab<strong>le</strong> in the United<br />

States. Software can also be protected in the U.S. as a patent, and<br />

elsewhere usually under copyright law.<br />

Patent attorneys help inventors submit patent and trademark<br />

applications Filing and handling of a patent application requires<br />

know<strong>le</strong>dge in three aspects: technology, law and business. Firstly,<br />

one must confirm the invention's technological applications, and<br />

whether the <strong>le</strong>vel of innovation is patentab<strong>le</strong>. Secondly, one must<br />

assess whether submitting an application will be profitab<strong>le</strong>, taking<br />

in consideration the cost of patenting which may consume some<br />

tens of thousands of dollars over the years. After the decision is<br />

made, the patent application must be written and edited, which<br />

demands professional technological know<strong>le</strong>dge and fluency in the<br />

re<strong>le</strong>vant <strong>le</strong>gal aspects of the national and international treaties.<br />

Dr. Yoram Tsivion, a patent attorney, scientific consultant and<br />

founder of a patent agency has mastery of these three skills. Dr.<br />

Tsivion began his career in the world of patents as a client. He<br />

earned degrees in physiology and biochemistry, a doctorate from<br />

the Hebrew University, and a post-doctorate from the Weizmann<br />

Institute of Science. He is a born inventor, and for years he<br />

acquired patents for his inventions, which he imp<strong>le</strong>mented and<br />

registered. Dr. Tsivion has a broad-based technological background<br />

drawn from his past experience, which includes the development<br />

of defense technology systems. His experience as an inventor<br />

and his multidisciplinary know<strong>le</strong>dge in the natural sciences,<br />

technology and business, enab<strong>le</strong> him to offer his clients rich and<br />

diverse services.<br />

Dr. Tsivion's office is small enough to offer the client a personal<br />

touch, yet large enough with a staff of ten for a combined 40<br />

years of experience in the fields of communications, physics,<br />

chemistry, biology, e<strong>le</strong>ctronics, nuc<strong>le</strong>ar physics, medical device,<br />

pharmaceuticals, agronomy, mechanics, biochemistry and fields<br />

of engineering . The office is located in the Caesarea industrial<br />

park and provides services to large and small Israeli companies<br />

and private entrepreneurs. His clients also include overseas<br />

companies as well as Israelis who live abroad and develop their<br />

work in other countries, but fi<strong>le</strong> their applications via his office.<br />

Several “technological incubators” in Israel make use of Dr.<br />

Tsivion's services. As a scientific consultant, he is well equipped<br />

to cultivate ideas in their earliest stages.<br />

The uniqueness of the Tsivion firm is expressed in a number<br />

of aspects:<br />

n Dr. Tsivion specializes in a broad range of fields and the expertise<br />

of his staff enab<strong>le</strong>s the firm to offer services in various fields,<br />

including areas that require interdisciplinary understanding.<br />

n The firm stresses the financial viability of idea development and<br />

patent registration - assessing filing feasibility is the first stage of<br />

the consulting process.<br />

n The firm know<strong>le</strong>dge base and administration is comp<strong>le</strong>tely<br />

computerized allowing for efficient control and time management<br />

in handling patent applications. Advanced hardware and software<br />

provides significant reductions in filing costs. In certain countries,<br />

this allows for direct applications with minimal local assistance<br />

and the capacity to present immediate filing confirmations .<br />

This is a significant advantage for companies and individuals<br />

seeking to publicize their invention in anticipation of an exhibit<br />

or presentation to a potential investor.<br />

Yoram Tsivion’s firm operates under the understanding that<br />

know<strong>le</strong>dge is power and power must be protected, and <strong>le</strong>veraged—<br />

to the greatest extent possib<strong>le</strong>, and they use every facility at their<br />

disposal to provide their clients with the highest quality of service<br />

coup<strong>le</strong>d with the most financially advantageous pricing.
