Trademark Renewal FAQs

A provisional patent application protects your rights to your invention for up to a year—giving you time to perfect it, and complete your application for a utility patent. It essentially holds your place in line with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office so no one else can get the rights to the invention by filing a patent before you.

There are generally three types of patents: utility patents, design patents, and plant patents. Utility patents protect new and useful processes, machines, or compositions of matter. Design patents protect unique visual qualities of a product, while plant patents are granted for new plant varieties that are asexually reproduced. Choosing the right patent type depends on the nature of your invention.

The patent application process can take anywhere from 1 to 3 years, or longer, depending on the complexity of the invention and the workload of the patent office. Utility patents tend to take longer due to their technical nature, while design patents may be granted more quickly. Expedited options may be available for an additional fee in certain cases.

A patent application typically includes a written description of the invention (known as the specification), claims that define the scope of the patent protection, drawings or diagrams if applicable, and an abstract. It also includes the inventor’s details, a declaration, and applicable fees. Each element must meet specific standards to ensure your application is complete and can be approved.

While you can file a patent application independently, hiring a patent attorney or agent is recommended, especially for utility patents, as they require precise legal and technical language. A professional can help draft your application to maximize protection and ensure compliance with patent office requirements, increasing the likelihood of approval.
