Step 3: File

After we draft your patent application, we file it at the US patent office. At the patent office, patent examiners assess your invention’s novelty by comparing the written description and claims against existing patents, references, and other prior art. The patent examiners will then make an assessment as to whether your invention is sufficiently new and non-obvious.

If the examiners find other inventions that are close to yours, they will formulate a rejection. These rejections are known as “office actions.” When a patent application is rejected, we can get around the rejection by submitting arguments and/or amending the patent claims to clarify the scope of protection that we are seeking. For example, our responses will clarify how your invention is not the same as what is described in other patent applications filed by other inventors.

With our expertise and guidance, we will navigate you through this process in an efficient and effective manner.
