Helping you apply for a patent

The patent application process is quite complicated and time-consuming. Patent attorneys greatly simplify the patent process for applicants by performing a variety of useful services:

• Judging whether an item is likely to be considered new and useful by United States Patent and Trademark Office
• Creating and filing application documents, including descriptions and drawings
• Doing necessary research to avoid and identify potential patent infringement

Types of patents

The United States Patent and Trademark Office recognizes three types of patents for new and useful creations, each with its own application forms:

• Utility patent: granted to anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or compositions of matters
• Design patent: granted to anyone who invents a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture
• Plant patent: granted to anyone who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces any distinct and new variety of plant

  While it is possible to file a patent application on your own, you will likely spend more time than necessary trying to understand the procedure and preparing documents. Contact a patent attorney in Atlanta [Link to: Contact] Myers IP Law, LLC to handle the process.

  Protecting your exclusive rights

  A patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office grants you exclusive rights in the United States over your invention. Your patent is effective for 20 years from the date when the patent application was filed. This means that no other party is allowed to make, use, sell, or import your patented item without your permission.

  When patent infringement occurs, a patent-holder may file a lawsuit against the party violating the patent. Attorneys at Myers IP Law, LLC, can help you file a lawsuit and recover damages for patent violations.
