National Patent Lawyers

Helping You Understand Your Patent Rights in Colorado Springs and Throughout the U.S.  

A patent gives you the legal right to limit access to a patented invention for a specific period. During that time, other commercial entities cannot make, distribute, sell, or otherwise utilize the patented asset without your consent. Patent attorneys can help you navigate the complicated application process, as well as help you protect your patent rights through litigation. 

Our patent lawyers at Martensen IP excel at providing domestic and international investors, executives, and other professionals with thorough legal services and informed counsel on a range of patent issues, enabling them to confidently carry out their business strategies involving their portfolios.

What Is A Patent Lawyer?

A patent attorney for commercial businesses is a legal expert who assists companies in protecting their inventions and intellectual property rights. They have a deep understanding of both legal principles and the technical aspects related to a company's specific industry.

Experienced patent lawyers also provide strategic advice on how to leverage patents for business growth, such as licensing agreements or selling patent rights. At Martensen IP, our patent attorneys have years of experience and help commercial businesses throughout the U.S. protect their innovations, maintain competitive advantage, and maximize the financial benefits of their intellectual property.

How Do I Obtain a Patent in the U.S.?

 To obtain a patent in the United States, you'll need to follow a structured process. The first step is to determine the type of patent that best fits your invention. In the U.S., there are three main types: utility patents for new and useful processes, machines, or compositions of matter; design patents for ornamental designs; and plant patents for distinct and new plant varieties.

Once you've identified the appropriate patent type, you'll need to thoroughly document and describe your invention, highlighting its unique aspects and how it works. This involves creating detailed drawings or diagrams if applicable. With this information, you can proceed to file a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This application will undergo examination to ensure it meets patentability criteria.

The USPTO will evaluate the novelty and non-obviousness of your invention during the examination process. If your application is accepted, you will be granted a patent, which will grant you exclusive rights to your invention for a set period of time, typically 20 years for utility and plant patents and 15 years for design patents.

It's advisable to consult a nationwide patent lawyer in Colorado Springs at Martensen IP during this process to enhance your chances of success. Remember that obtaining a patent in the U.S. can be a complex and lengthy endeavor, but it offers valuable protection for your innovative creations.  

How Can A Patent Attorney Assist Businesses During the Patent Process?

Throughout the patent procedure, our patent lawyers can be of essential service to your company. They start with a thorough patent search to guarantee that your innovation is unique and does not infringe on any existing patents.

Once it's confirmed that your invention is novel, a comprehensive patent application will be prepared and filed by our team with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This involves describing the invention in detail and explaining why it's patent-worthy. If the USPTO has any questions or objections, we may respond on your behalf, negotiate, and advocate for the approval of your patent.

Once the patent is granted, a skilled lawyer for patent from our firm can help protect your rights by enforcing the patent, acting against any infringement, and advising on licensing opportunities. Get in touch with Martensen IP as soon as possible -- we can guide your business through each step of the complex patent process, helping to secure your intellectual property rights and protect your commercial interests.
