We use our expertise in three key areas to help you get the most effective patent protection for your idea. First, our attorneys stay up-to-date on the evolution of patent law. This allows us to use changes, such as the Bilski decision, to maximize the protection for your innovation.
Second, our attorneys have wide industry experience as engineers and scientists. Therefore, we can identify the key elements of even the most complicated patents and develop a coherent protection strategy for them.
Finally, we have also brought hundreds of millions of dollars worth of products to market. This productization experience is invaluable in identifying ways that potential infringers may try to circumvent your patent protection, and designing protection that prevents that from happening.
We can begin protecting your idea now with a discussion of your invention. During the discussion, we help you identify the patentable subject matter in your invention, and determine if patent protection is a good idea. We can also explain your options in filing for protection.
We also use search experts to perform a thorough search for inventions that are similar to yours. We use the information to help you decide whether to continuing pursuing your application by estimating the breadth of claims you are likely to get in a patent for your invention. If the search uncovers few similar inventions, your chances of securing a valuable, broad patent are greatly improved. However, if the search finds many similar ideas we can discuss your options that include patenting a narrower critical aspect of your innovation and stopping work on the patent altogether.
If you have created valuable intellectual property, we encourage you to call today to begin protecting your invention. Market needs and technological innovation frequently drive multiple inventors to similar inventive concepts. The telephone, radio, electric washing machine, television, and laser were all inventions with significant patent disputes. Even today, it is unclear who should have reaped the rewards for these inventions. The best way to assure that you are rewarded for your invention is to file early. You do not need to perfect your invention, only to have created the inventive concept.
A provisional patent application is an excellent way to establish an early priority date for your invention. Provisional patent applications are much less expensive than utility patent applications. A provisional patent is good for twelve months, and then must be converted into a utility patent application. The utility patent application claims the filing date of the provisional patent. Provisional patent applications can also include multiple inventions, and multiple utility patents can depend from a single provisional. Learn more about patents on our web site, kunzlerip.com
