Intellectual Property Protection
The protection of intellectual property can one of the most important considerations when starting a new venture based on a new product, service or idea. For individuals and startup companies it may often be the only asset of significance. For entities competing to enter into the marketplace currently dominated by established firms, intellectual property may be the only weapon a small entity has to gain entry.

Why file a non-provisional patent application?
Obtaining a utility patent can be a little lengthy process along with being expensive. It is wise to think of a non-provisional patent application as an investment. A non-provisional utility application can take about 16 months to 2 years to receive the patent examiner’s first review. However, exceptions occur fairly frequently. To get your application examined within 3-6 months you can request expedited exam for an additional fee (generally about 3 times what the filing fee is).
