The free ideation process includes a patentability assessment that highlights the unique features of your invention. This helps you prepare and strengthen your idea before moving to the filing stage.
What is freedom to operate?
FTO is simple: If you’ve got an idea and/or innovation, you need to know whether or not someone else has gotten there before you. You need the “freedom” to develop, produce, and release your creation without stepping on IP that already exists.
What is a provisional patent?
A provisional patent application enables you to secure an early filing date for your application, giving you a year from that point to refine your idea and then file a non-provisional patent application. Anyone else with a similar idea will not be first.
What happens if I don’t file a non-provisional patent within 12 months?
If the 12 months elapse without filing a non-provisional patent application, the provisional patent application expires and you lose the filing date secured by the provisional patent.
What is a non-provisional patent?
Non-provisional patents are comprehensive legal documents you need to protect your inventions fully. Each patent is granted for twenty years. They require you to spell out every detail of your invention, draw up technical sketches, and make rock-solid patent claims about exactly what you're protecting, plus prove that the invention doesn’t already exist.
