UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PATENTS & APPLICATIONS
KEY TAKEAWAY: Design Patents protect how an invention looks.
KEY TAKEAWAY: You probably aren’t filing a plant patent.
KEY TAKEAWAY: Utility Patents protect how an invention is used and it works.
KEY TAKEAWAY: Provisional Patent Applications give you a filing date, patent pending status, and 12-months of protection. However, you must convert this into a Non-Provisional Application within the 12-months.
KEY TAKEAWAY: Non-Provisional Patent Applications are very lengthy and detailed, but must be completed in order for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to grant a patent for your invention.
