How to mention patentable work on Resume

Question

Hi everyone. I am creating my resume to apply for Tier1 and 2 firms. I currently am an engineer with about 2 years of experience. During my internship, I developed a new process that my firm wants to patent. The patent has not yet been filed but it has been given the green light internally. I really want to mention this on my CV, but I can't really say patent pending because it technically is not true.
Of course I am really proud of that and think it would add a lot of value, but I could be blinded by the pride. My question is whether I should mention this or leave it out? What's a good way of indicating that?
Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Just say "Patent filed with xyz authority, pending approval". If there is a patent file number, mention it. That way you are not hiding anything.

Too big a thing to not put on CV.

Answer 2

Hello!

I believe that is super impressive, and you should mention it.

Don´t worry for the term "in progress" not being 100% accurate, I would go for that in your shoes for sure.

Best,

Hi,

Indeed, that's impressive and would be great if you could put it on your CV.

But as far as it has only been approved internally, I'm not sure about the right wording for that. Maybe you could mention that you've developed a new process that is waiting to be patented.

Do you need any further help?

Hi there,

So, first, you need an experience bullet undernearth your intership role.

Then, in terms of how to word it, you should say something along the lines of "Ideated and developed patent for xxx. Approved internally and pending formal submission"
