A Patent is a government authorized monopoly, which grants the patent owner the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the patented invention. There are generally two types of patents, a utility patent protecting the functional (how it works) aspects of articles and processes, and a design patent protecting the ornamental design (how it looks) of useful articles.

To obtain patent protection the invention must meet both the tests of "novelty" and "non-obviousness." The test of "novelty" means that the invention was not already previously in existence, or within the past year, was disclosed in a printed publication or offered for sale. The test of "non-obviousness" meaning that the article, although possibly new, must be unique enough that in view of the prior art, it is not obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art (anticipated by the prior art).

Invention Evaluation & Analysis: Not all inventions are capable of patent protection, and some inventions qualify for more than one type of protection. We evaluate inventions, designs, ideas, and technologies, and advise clients about what type of protection may be available for their invention. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different types of protections and their costs.

Inventions That Make Money: The patent process is complex and expensive. It is therefore critical to determine if your invention is capable of becoming commercially successful. If an invention is not capable of making money, you should be careful about investing in a patent. We generally discourage patents unless we can determine a profitable reason for pursuing such protection. Our patent analysis stresses the commercial viability and profit potential of your invention. We evaluate inventions, designs, ideas, and technologies to help determine if they have sufficient commercial viability and profit potential to justify investing in. The goal is to only invest in patents, inventions and technology that can make money for you.

If patent protection is appropriate and commercially justified by the potential consumer demand and potential commercial success of your invention, we will arrange for a patent attorney licensed by the USPTO to take over the preparation, filing and prosecution of your patent application.
