What are Patents?

Patents are a type of intellectual property right that grant exclusive rights to inventors and businesses for a specified period. They provide protection for innovations, inventions, and designs that meet certain criteria.

The Patent Application Process

A patent application is submitted to the USPTO in two stages: examination and approval.

Stage 1: Preliminary Examination - The USPTO reviews the patent application to ensure it meets basic requirements and has sufficient novelty and non-obviousness

Stage 2: Detailed Examination - The USPTO examines the patent in more detail, searching for prior art and determining whether the invention is novel and non-obvious
