When should I file my tool patent?

‍

One thing we know well is patents.  Afterall that is what we do.  However we also know how to build successful companies which gives us a unique experience not commonly found.  When it comes to tool patents, the most important thing to understand is that patents are all about timing.  The U.S. is a first inventor to file system.  This means that the inventor with the same invention as another that files first beats the competition.  It is also important to understand the issues with publishing first then filing.  We encourage every client to speak with one of the Menlo Park Patents experienced patent agents sooner rather than later!

Do I need a patent search before applying for an tool patent?

‍

A patent search or prior art search is a tool used to uncover similar patents to your invention with the anticipation of improving the patent’s description, strategy and claims.  However, there is an 18 month window of unpublished patent applications that are not available to the public and where a patent search won’t uncover the most recent filings.  We encourage every inventor with a tool invention to consult with a patent practitioner to determine whether a patent search is right for their business goals.

How long does a tool patent provide protection?

‍

A utility tool patent provides 20 years of protection.  Since the U.S. is a first inventor to file system, we recommend securing a  filing date ASAP!  Rest assured, that Menlo Park Patents has the expertise and strategies to help tech-startups make the most of their patent portfolio and add value to their businesses with affordability.

A provisional patent application is a great way to secure a filing date for your tool invention.  All of our rates can be found on our website here: Click Here
