Why do you need a patent?

Patents protect your ideas and can help you unlock valuable opportunities in the market. Here are just a few of the reasons to consider obtaining a patent:

Opening New Revenue Streams

With a patent, you can license or sell your invention to others, enabling you to leverage new streams of income through royalties or sales of your patent rights.

Attracting Investor and Licensing Interest

Attract licensing interest and do technology transfer that would otherwise be impossible or unlikely without a patent or patent application under your belt.

Preventing
Theft

Protect your invention from being stolen and exploited without your consent. A patent grants you exclusive rights to your invention, allowing you to control how it’s made, used, sold, or imported. If someone infringes on your patent, you can seek damages or injunctions.

Obtaining A Market Advantage

Patent protection establishes you as a market leader and deters competitors from copying or imitating your invention. Secure rights that can unleash your power to de-list copycats on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and other platforms.

How to Get Started

Patents operate under a “first inventor to file” system, meaning that if multiple inventors file patent applications for the same invention, the patent is awarded to the inventor or applicant who first files a grantable patent application with the patent office, regardless of who actually created the invention first. You can mark your product website and/or packaging “patent pending” as soon as your low-cost provisional patent application is on file.

Provisional Patent Application

Fine-tune your invention while increasing its marketability with patent-pending status.

Utility
Patent

Prevent competitors from manufacturing, utilizing, or selling your invention without authorization.

Design
Patent

Safeguard your product design against competitors seeking to replicate and market your original creation.

*Additional services fees apply when the client chooses to proceed with our drafting and filing a complete application with the Patent Office. Professional services are typically charged as flat fees paid in advance, and expected charges can be discussed during the initial consultation.
