Depending on the product, either a design patent or utility patent may be appropriate, and in some cases both.nnDuring our due diligence phase, we discuss your invention in detail to identify the novel and commercially valuable aspects. We then carefully craft the design or utility patent application to cover these key aspects, and work closely with you to make sure everything is technically accurate and complete. We then submit the patent application to the USPTO, and from there work with the patent examiner assigned to your application once an initial examination is completed. After we reach an agreement with the patent examiner on allowable subject matter, a notice of allowance will be issued and the patent will be formally granted by the USPTO.
