Patent

Patent rights allow an inventor to exclude others from making, using, or selling a protected invention for a limited period of time (typically in the order of about 20 years). As such, building and optimizing a patent portfolio to protect a company’s innovations can be a vital tool in multiplying a company’s value. Patent rights may be obtained by filing a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and/or foreign patent offices, and then working with government officials (often referred to as patent examiners) to establish that, among other things, the invention is both new and non-obvious.
