What Our Clients Are Saying...
What is a patent?
In the US, a patent is a property right granted by the government. It gives the patentee the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the patented invention in the US for a period of time.
How long does it take to get a patent?
The average time it will take to get a patent is 22-30 months from the date you file your patent application. This time frame will range depending on the type of patent you are seeking and the level of complexity behind your patent.
How much does a patent cost?
Generally, the typical cost for a patent will range between $1,000 and $20,000.
This range of thousands of dollars hinges on how much you decide to do yourself, how many claims you want to claim within your patent application, and the extent to which you utilize a patent attorney. Note that the bottom of the range is only possible if you entirely manage the process yourself and only need to pay Patent Office fees.
Do I need a model or prototype before I can file a patent?
No, you do not need a model or prototype to file for a patent application. But you do need to have enough information to explain your invention to someone who is capable of making it, such as a manufacturer.
What does ‘Patent Pending’ mean?
“Patent pending” means that you have a patent application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office for your invention.
Can I patent an algorithm?
Unfortunately, algorithms on their own cannot be patented because they are considered an “abstract idea.” However, you can patent the software process underlying your algorithm.
What is a “poor man’s patent”?
A poor man’s patent is a myth that entails writing a description of your invention and then mailing it to yourself. This postmarked envelope supposedly acts to create the date of your invention as the date this written description was postmarked. This is a false protection with legal foundation.
How long does it take to get a trademark?
While that can vary depending on circumstances surrounding your particular trademark, the whole process typically takes about a year to complete.
