How It Works
Consultation
The first step in obtaining a patent is to consult with a licensed patent professional. During the consultation, the practitioner will assess the potential patent and provide advice on the patentability of the invention. The practitioner will also outline the patent process and provide an estimate of cost and timeline for the patent application.
Strategize
The second step in obtaining a patent is to strategize and develop a patent strategy. This involves researching prior art, preparing patent drawings, and considering the patent’s value proposition. This strategy will also weigh the patent’s business objectives, such as whether the patent is intended to be defensive or offensive.
Take Action
The third step in obtaining a patent is to take action. This involves filing the patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, responding to any office actions, and monitoring the patent’s progress. Once the patent is granted, the applicant should take steps to enforce the patent and ensure that any violations are addressed and the patent’s rights are protected.
FAQs
A patent agent is a professional who is registered with the patent office to assist inventors in the patent process. They have technical and legal aptitudes but may not be licensed attorneys.

If your invention is new, useful, and non-obvious, then it may be eligible for a patent.
