Patent Law Services

A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to an inventor or his assignee for a fixed period of time in exchange for a disclosure of an invention.

The procedure for granting patents, the requirements placed on the patentee and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries according to national laws and international agreements. Typically, however, a patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must be new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable. In many countries, certain subject areas are excluded from patents, such as business methods and mental acts. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent or exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the invention.

A patent must be issued by the Patent and Trademark Office, provides a detailed description of the invention, how it is used or how to make it. Although you may keep your invention completely secret and delay your patent application, if you delay you may find that your invention no longer qualifies for protection in light of other patents granted or applied for, or inventions that already came within public knowledge or use. If you own a startup business looking for financing, you should have already acquired your rights.
