Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a patent, trademark, and copyright?

A patent protects inventions and functional designs, a trademark protects brand identifiers like logos and names, and a copyright protects original creative works like software code, art, and literature.

How long does a patent last?

Utility patents last 20 years from the filing date. Design patents last 15 years. Maintenance fees are required to keep utility patents in force.

Can I file a patent myself?

While possible, it’s highly recommended to work with a registered patent attorney. Poorly drafted claims can limit protection or be invalidated later.

What is a provisional patent application?

It’s a cost-effective way to establish an early filing date while giving you 12 months to further develop your invention and assess market potential before filing a full utility patent.

How do I know if my trademark is available?

We offer comprehensive trademark search services to evaluate availability and risk of conflict with existing marks in your industry and jurisdiction.
