Patent Solutions: Which is Best?

(Free Strategy Guide!)

This guide is not legal advice of course, as ai2ip never practices law, but it helps you understand which Patent Application product/solution on our shop may best help you, and why.

Patent Application Types

• U.S. Design invention Patents protect how something Looks, and they provide limited monopoly rights on your claimed invention for up to 15 years. You only get 1 claim so it can be easy to knock these off, unless you're very careful to claim broadly (which we are).
• U.S. Utility invention Patents protect how something Works, it's use/utility (regardless of appearance/design), and they provide limited monopoly rights on 20 claims to your invention for up to 20 years.
• Provisional Utility Patent Applications are date stamp placeholders for 12 months' to refine your ideas in the marketplace, develop early prototypes/presales, and get a nonprovisional before 12 months expires. They are never Patents, since they are never Examined.
• "Nonprovisional" is used to refer to full Utility Patent Applications which do get examined, although technically, design applications are also "non-provisional". Both of these will be examined closely prior to being allowed/Granted/issued as a patent.
• Search: Before applying for any patent it's important to know what is out in the prior art, since patents only protect what is new. Our patent search solutions fill this need comprehensively, for those who don't yet know the technical field's prior art well.

^^^ The above already taught you enough to decide what AI2IP™ product solution is applicable to you.

Other Patent Processes & Options

• Prosecution: After applying for a Design or Utility patent, depending on how broad you claim your invention to be, you probably should be represented by a Patent Practitioner (registered agent or attorney) to argue and/or work with the Examiner to arrive at an allowable claim; this is good and to be expected when you are maximizing your legal rights. We recommend Mooney IP for this because of their track record and willingness to file for AI2IP customers for free. This process of getting a Grant is called patent prosecution.
• International: You can go international but PCT Patent Applications (to the World IP Organization) typically have the highest ROI if you go for a Unitary Patent in the EPO; this is because one set of fees gets a patent covering many (~30) countries' patent jurisdictions.
• Still, the U.S. is the world's largest economy and by far the easiest to sell into and succeed in for most people around the world, especially if you already live here.
• Constitutional: The title "Bill of Rights" is the only other place in our U.S. Constitution to use the word "Right", after Article 1 protected inventors' "rights to their writings and discoveries". Your U.S. patent rights propped up the amazingly innovative economy that helped make America the world economic leader. The founders respected inventors so much, thanks to their knowledge of economics.
• Thus, you should lock in your government-backed, limited monopoly to make, use, sell, and import your invention ideas before someone else files an application or takes on same idea.
• AI2IP™ helps you secure a patent portfolio for a fraction of the cost of any other practical method.
