Patent Litigation Lawyer

Some inventors might argue that the provisional patent application is a worthwhile stepping stone to the non provisional patent that gives you a one year grace period.  Within this period you will be able to test your product and do run preliminary tests.

This document functions as a priority filing, which means as an inventor you can claim priority to specific ideas submitted.  This gives you one year of light protection.

A provisional patent application is cheaper and doesn’t require all of the formalities of a standard utility application, which is based on the non obviousness or newness of a product.  However individuals seeking a provisional patent must still discuss their ideas with someone who is knowledgeable in the area of the product. 

Patent law can be quite complicated though.  It may be beneficial to contact a patent lawyer to help you with the entire process.  Call the patent law attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 566-950-9000.
