What Does SIR Stand For?
SIR stands for Statutory Invention Registration
Statutory Invention Registration (SIR) is a legal process that allows inventors to publicly disclose their inventions without pursuing a traditional patent. By filing an SIR, inventors receive a formal recognition of their invention's existence, providing a public record while retaining the freedom to use and develop their invention. This approach is particularly beneficial for those seeking to establish prior art or for non-commercial inventions that may not require extensive patent protection.
