Hi! As a student researcher, I have created a project that I wish to be patented and may bring a new line of innovations to the Philippines in the field of Aeronautical Eng. However, the paper I have so far submitted has not been granted a patent (it was, however, copyrighted), and I wish to recalibrate the exact essence of its next paper for it to better show the product/project's characteristics that make it worthy of a patent. This is all for the goal of creating actual commercial reproductions of the design; the process of which requires me to have the design patented.
