The correct spelling is "patiently" for the word meaning "in a patient manner."

A published patent refers to the publication of a patent application, which is be reviewed by the Patent Authority (USPTO, EPO, JPTO, etc.). Once the merits of the application are acknowledged by the Examiner, process which takes from about to 2 to 4 years, the patent is granted (issued). The difference is that a patent application does not protect the inventor from any potential infraction to his/her inventive matter, and the inventor is allowed to start civil actions against the infractor, only once the patent is granted.

Not quite. Anyone who has a college degree in science or engineering can take the patent bar exam. If they also have a law degree, they can be called patent attorneys. Otherwise they are patent agents. A patent agent can't practice law. They can, however, do everything that is necessary to write, prepare and file patents for others.

I don't know. But the way to find out is www.USPTO.gov. The US Patent and Trademark Office. They allow searches by many criteria. It will take just a little work, but once you know how to search on USPTO, your power will increase.

A new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof; a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture; or a distinct and new variety of plant that has been invented or asexually reproduced.

Patents are awarded by the US Patent Office in Washington DC after a significant review that can take several years. The pertinent information the Patent Office requires and the correct application form can be sent to you by calling or writing to the Patent Office. Currently there is a backlog of about 1700 patent applications.

Certainly. The actual holder of the patent will depend upon the employment agreement. If the employee developed the idea while working for the employer, the patent will belong to that employer. Many employers have a program set up to give a bonus to the employee if the patent is granted. If it is created outside of work, the individual retains all rights.

Depends on whether you're employed to create inventions and whether your employer has asked you to assign your rights to the company, and whether the invention is related to the company's business.

If your invention was "created" as part of your employment, then no, you have no particular right to apply for a patent, as you do not technically own it; the company does. The company could, for example, decide to keep your invention "trade secret" or (contrarily) to disclose it for the world to use without anyone able to patent it. Or they may simply not have the interest in the new discovery to justify putting any money into it.

Generally, in U.S. patent practice, an employee has a fiduciary obligation to the company to disclose all new inventions related to the business. The company can then decide if it wants to retain patent counsel for the purpose of strategizing and filing one or more patent applications. However, the name of each and every inventor (of the invention claimed) must be shown on the patent application. The patent attorney will usually ask each inventor to sign a formal "assignment of rights" in the invention and the patent(s) that may be issued.

On the other hand, a number of very successful companies have been formed when an inventor obtained permission to patent something that his employer had refused to pursue.

Other countries have rules that may differ somewhat, such as whether the company or the owner is the initial "owner" of the intellectual property, and who has the right or the power to file an application.

A patent is obtained by filing an appropriate application with your national patent office (USPTO in the USA), having it examined, and having the patent issued.

Under various treaties, the application and examination can be extended to other countries, for a fee (and within certain time limits), but you still need to conform to specific requirements in each jurisdiction to have a patent issued there (e.g., translation, fees, local agent, etc).
