FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about patent law and our services.
What is a patent?
In the U.S., a patent is a property right granted by the U.S. Government to an inventor "to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention" for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention.
What types of patents do you handle?
We handle both utility patents and design patents. Our attorneys have expertise in various technical fields including software, electronics, data storage, AI, semiconductor devices, and more.
How long does it take to prepare and file my patent application?
Preparing and filing your patent application typically takes 3-6 weeks from our initial invention disclosure session. The variance depends on the complexity of the invention, and the results of a prior art search.
What is the difference between a provisional and non-provisional patent application?
A provisional patent application establishes a priority date and gives you 'patent pending' status for up to 12 months, but a provisional patent application is not examined and must be "converted" to a non-provisional within a year or it goes abandoned. A non-provisional application is a formal patent application that is examined by the USPTO and thus can result in an issued patent.
How much does it cost to obtain a patent?
The cost of obtaining a patent can depend on the complexity of the invention, the type of patent sought, and other factors. We provide upfront, transparent, flat fee pricing so you know exactly what you will pay before the work starts. In fact, just put "Patent Fees" in the contact us form, and we will send you our fees.
