Successful inventors, smart patent attorneys and agents endorse our simple, cost-effective patent strategy. 

Patent strategy complements invention development
You should not rush to file patent applications or be scared into a rush filing in order to "get protection". After all, what are you protecting if the inventive subject matter isn't marketable? Inventions have to be cost-effective to manufacture and sales potential must be verified first. It's a costly mistake otherwise.

Misconceptions on patenting
Three common misunderstandings are:

1) Patent it yourself and cut-out the high cost of a patent attorney. You can...but only if you want a weak, worthless patent. Explanation.

2) File the permanent patent application--forget about the provisional application. Sure, if you've got time and money to burn. Explanation.

3) You can't patent a new feature on an existing product. Oh yes you can, it's the most common patent application filed today. Explanation.

Use provisional patent applications
Inventors may file provisional patent applications for less than $125. Since inventions tend to metamorphose during development, it is an excellent way to protect an invention without investing thousands on the regular, permanent patent application. When new inventive matter is discovered, new provisional applications may be filed. It is not uncommon to file two or three provisional applications and then file a single permanent application referencing them.

The inventor who blindly files permanent patent applications without qualifying marketability is going to have a painful, costly experience. Learn about the inventing and patenting process first and don't become a statistic.
