Understanding Patent Law In Indianapolis
A patent allows its owner to exclude other from making, using, selling, importing or distributing the patented invention. Patents are a driving force behind today’s economy and provide a solid foundation for business success.
Our Indianapolis patent law attorneys offer comprehensive patent law legal services, such as:
- Patent Searches + Patent Legal Opinions (patentability, infringement, and validation)
- Patent Due Diligence
- Patent Application Preparation, Prosecution, and Issuance
- Patent Licensing + Patent License Management
- Patent Contracts + Patent Agreements
- Post Patent Grant Monitoring, Renewals, and Protection
- Patent Litigation
- International Trade Commission (ITC) Proceedings Representation
- U.S. Customs and Border Patent Protection
A patent is requested by filing a written patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. An application must contain enough information in it to allow a person of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention. The application also includes one or more claims that define what a patent covers or protects.
Once filed, the application enters the patent prosecution phase where it is reviewed by a patent examiner to determine whether or not the invention is patentable. If the patent examiner believes the invention not to be patentable, the patent examiner will issue an Office action, to which the patent applicant may respond. Patent prosecution is essentially a negotiation process that usually requires one to three rounds of negotiation with the examiner before the application is either allowed or finally rejected and abandoned.
Helping You Determine If A Patent Is The Right Choice For You
At Indiano Law Group, LLC, we understand that the patent process can be expensive. As a firm that focuses on intellectual property law, we can help explain the process system and associated costs to you to help you determine whether a patent is a good investment for you and your business.
For example, a company making barbecue sauce should probably not invest in patent protection but rather take the money that it would spend on patent protection and invest in trademark protection to protect its name and advertising to promote its product. On the other hand, patents are incredibly important to medical device manufacturers and such businesses would be well advised to invest in patent protection.
We will also teach you about both “legal patentability” and “economic patentability,” as understanding both the law and the economics that underlie patents is important to understand in order to make a good decision.
How Our Experienced Patent Attorneys Can Help You
If you decide to proceed forward with filing an application, we will prepare and file patent applications that protect that your invention and then argue vigorously in the United States Patent and Trademark Office to get the broadest protection that we can for you.
Along the way, we work with you to constantly reevaluate your position to make sure that it makes sense for you to continue onward with the process. We never want you to be in a position where you are spending money on us if you don’t believe that the services we provide will help your profitability.
Viewed another way, if you can profit more by spending your money to advertise your product rather than to obtain a patent for it, we will gladly encourage you to spend your money with your advertising agency rather than with us.
