How Long Does The Patent Process Take?
Securing a patent typically takes between two and four years. The timeline begins when you submit your application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). An examiner then reviews your claims to ensure they meet legal standards.
What Can And Cannot Be Patented?
You can patent:
- Processes
- Machines
- Manufactures
- Compositions of matter
You cannot patent:
- Laws of nature
- Natural phenomena
- Abstract ideas
You can sit down with our intellectual property lawyers to evaluate your concept to see if it meets the criteria for federal protection.
How Much Does Patent Protection Cost?
The total cost depends on the complexity of your technology and the number of filings. To provide better value for you, we eliminate the excessive overhead found at large, corporate firms. We give you a detailed estimate so you can plan ahead with confidence.
What Is The Difference Between Provisional And Nonprovisional Patents?
A provisional application acts as a one-year placeholder for your idea. It is less formal and costs less to file. It allows you to use the term patent pending while you refine your product. A nonprovisional application is the formal request that leads to an actual patent.
