Getting a patent can be complex, so it’s important for individual inventors to seek help from an experienced patent attorney. A patent attorney can help you navigate the patent process and ensure that all of your patent requirements are met.
The first step is to determine whether or not the invention or idea you have meets the criteria for patentability. To do this, your patent lawyers must have a thorough understanding of patent law and know what kind of invention qualifies as patentable.
In order to patent an idea, a patent application must meet the patentability criteria set forth by the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent requirements include:
Novelty means that the invention needs to be something that has not been seen or done before. Non-obviousness means that the invention cannot be easily conceived from what is available in the public domain. Utility means that it must have a purpose or function of providing a benefit. Subject matter eligibility refers to if the invention meets certain criteria for patentability as outlined by patent law such as being novel, useful, and non-obvious.
Once it is determined that the invention is patentable, the process begins by filing a provisional patent application with the USPTO. This marks the start of the patenting journey and establishes a priority date for when your invention was created.
