Patent Application Filing Process
If you would like to patent your idea or inventive concept, the first step is to have a prior art search conducted of your inventive concept to determine if the concept is new. If the concept is new, you can instruct us to file either a provisional patent application, or a non-provisional patent application with the USPTO.
If your funding is limited at this point, you may consider filing a provisional patent application. A provisional patent application locks in the “priority date” of your invention, i.e., the date of the filing of the provisional application with the USPTO, allows you to mark your product “Patent Pending”, and provides patent pending protection for 1 year from the filling date of the application. You may then contact appropriate persons or companies to provide funding for filing a non-provisional patent application and for commercializing your product.
If you wish to obtain patent protection beyond the one year period, you will need to convert the provisional patent application to a non-provisional patent application.
Additional information on the patent filing process is provided on our website www.ipprocure.com; on the home page click on “patent application filing process”. Representative patents applications that we have filed are listed on the link “our granted and published patents”.
