Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Most of the inventions we file a patent for are still in development. It’s best to file early because ‘first to patent’ gets ownership not ‘first to invent’. If someone else is working on the same idea you may lose out. If the invention changes later we can update and refile it. This protects all of the improvements you come up with as your invention develops.
Yes, it does. We will file it online through the patent office website. Once filed, you will have ‘patent pending’. There is an international patent agreement called ‘Paris convention for the protection of industrial property’. This lets you use the filing date in other countries for up to 12 months.
For example, let’s say we have just filed it online. Six months later you decide to file full patents in the UK, Japan, and Australia. These applications can ‘claim priority’ to the original application, and use its filing date. So they will count as having been in effect the entire time. It’s a wonderful rule and a huge money-saver. So yes, you have international coverage.
Legal Zoom offers an automated service for $199. This is essentially making you do it yourself. Their custom writing services start at $900.
We only need about 10 minutes of your time in order for us to get started. All you need to do is fill out a simple questionnaire and we’ll do the rest.
