The Patent Process

In most cases, the first step in the patent process will be either a patent search or a provisional patent application. The decision on what to start with depends upon a number of factors that we will be happy to discuss with you.

The patent process takes much time, often several years before the patent is granted. During the process, the invention is "patent pending".
