    Answered . You can certainly do that and so long as the new invention is distinct and different from the individual parts, you can protect it. You may be able to obtain patent protection. Be aware that you have only one year from the time the invention is first known to the public to register the patent. You might want to go to for more detailed information. If you build your invention and protect it with a patent, then you need to think about how you will bring it to market, e.g., creating a company, licensing it, etc.
