FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
-
A patent protects new inventions, processes, or improvements, granting exclusive rights to the inventor for a limited time. A trademark safeguards brand identifiers like names, logos, and slogans that distinguish your products or services in the marketplace. Copyright protects original creative works such as books, music, software, and artwork from unauthorized use. Each form of intellectual property protection serves a unique purpose to secure your innovations and brand identity in the U.S.
-
To apply for a patent in the USA, you file an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The process includes preparing a detailed description of your invention, conducting a patent search, filing either a provisional or non-provisional application, and responding to examiner feedback. Hiring a knowledgeable U.S. patent attorney or agent can streamline this process and increase your chances of approval.
-
The average time for patent approval in the United States ranges from 1 to 3 years, depending on the complexity of the invention and the examination process. Some applications qualify for accelerated examination programs to speed up the timeline. Consistent communication with the USPTO and timely responses to office actions help avoid unnecessary delays.
-
Yes, you can secure your invention by filing a provisional patent application with the USPTO. This provides a priority filing date and allows you 12 months to file a full non-provisional patent application. Additionally, using Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) before sharing your idea helps safeguard it from being disclosed or copied.
-
Registering a trademark with the USPTO gives you exclusive rights to use your brand name or logo nationwide, helping prevent others from using confusingly similar marks. It also enhances your brand’s reputation, allows legal enforcement against infringement, and adds substantial value to your business as an intangible asset.
-
A patent attorney specializes in U.S. patent law and assists inventors in drafting, filing, and prosecuting patent applications with the USPTO. They perform patentability assessments, prepare technical documents, handle legal correspondence, and help protect your invention through enforcement or licensing. Hiring a patent attorney is essential when you want to ensure strong protection for your innovation, especially if filing nationally or internationally.
