There are different types of patents, and you need to decide which one to choose based on the kind on invention and protection. Each patent has its eligibility requirements and protects a specific type of invention or discovery. Knowing which patent protection is best suitable for your invention is essential. Our attorney will study your invention to the core and then suggest you go with the right kind of patent protection. You can obtain the following application types based on your needs and preferences.

1. Design Patent - A design patent is primarily concerned with the physical appearance, structure, ornamentation, and general visual attributes of a product. It is important to note that a design patent only protects the design of an article, not its actual functional properties. It's strictly based on the aesthetic innovation that an individual or group has claimed.
2. Utility Patent - As the name suggests, a utility patent is when the inventor invents a useful product. It can be a process, service, machine, product, or new enhancement to an already existing article. It is the most common type of patent filling in California. It is responsible for the unique products and services available in the market.

3. Plant Patent - Plant patent specializes in a section covered under biological inventions. They're the patents filed whenever somebody discovers or creates a new plant species through asexual reproduction. It's filed for the fusion of different plant species.

Once you determine the protection you need, our attorney will help you decide the application type you need to file. It can be either of the two options mentioned below.

• Provisional Application - Filing a provisional application helps secure an early filing or priority date. According to Patent law, the first inventor to file a patent gets the patent rights. The provisional application helps in getting the critical patent filing date. The applications are far quicker to file and cost-efficient. Still, the provisional patent only stays valid in the US only for one year. The inventor must file a non-provisional patent application within a year of filing a provisional application.
• Non-Provisional Application - The non-provisional application is a regular patent application. They are granted after being examined from start to finish. It includes the title, abstract, description, claims, and drawings. One must disclose the invention's detailed technical, functional, and structural aspects. But it may take more time than the variant mentioned earlier.

Patent specifications are undoubtedly the trickiest part of the patent filing procedure. Our attorneys are well versed in knowledge and skills. They will go over every patent detail to draw up a coherent and unique specification for the patent application. Our patent attorney will make sure that your application provides complete clarity and doesn't get associated with patents that have been filed in the past.
