The patent process

The patent process is complex, requiring technical understanding of the invention, legal understanding of how it fits in with prior patents, and an institutional understanding of the Patent Office. Our aim is to guide you through this process while making everything as clear and transparent as possible. With our help, you can make the decisions that maximize the impact of your invention and the success of your business.
