Patent filing is the process of submitting a patent application to a government agency to secure legal protection for an innovation. The application generally includes a detailed description of the invention, drawings or diagrams illustrating it, and claims that define the scope of the invention.
Patent filing is the process of submitting a patent application to the relevant government agency, such as the USPTO, to secure exclusive rights to an invention. A patent grants the inventor the right to prevent others from making, using, selling, or importing the invention for a set period of time, usually 20 years from the filing date for a utility patent.
The patent filing procedure typically includes preparing and submitting a detailed patent application that describes the invention and its distinguishing features. A patent examiner reviews the application to determine whether the invention meets the requirements for a patent. If the application is approved, the inventor is granted a patent, which legally protects their invention.
A provisional patent application is a short-term filing that provides an invention with an early priority date and allows the inventor to use the term “patent pending” for up to a year while working on a more comprehensive application. This is the traditional approach for obtaining a utility patent, which covers new and useful gadgets, tools, manufactured goods, and material compositions.
An application for a design patent protects unique, distinctive, and ornamental designs for manufactured goods.
An inventor can use a single application to request patent protection in multiple countries through a single patent office.
A continuation patent application is submitted by the same inventor(s) as an earlier application and retains the priority date of the earlier application.
A divisional patent application is filed when a previously submitted application contains multiple inventions, and the inventor(s) wish to pursue one or more of those ideas independently.
When the inventor(s) want to add new material to a previously submitted application, they file a continuation-in-part (CIP) patent application. The CIP application includes both the new material and the content from the previously filed application.
