Helping You Navigate the USPTO Patent Application Process

Filing a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is a critical step in protecting your intellectual property. A successful patent can provide 20 years of protection, giving you exclusive rights to your invention. However, navigating the complexities of the patent application process can be challenging, which is why working with an experienced patent attorney is essential.

At Artie Pennington Law Offices, we assist clients in Austin, Kyle, and beyond with filing for the following types of patents:

• Design patents – Protecting the ornamental design or visual aspects of an invention, such as the unique appearance of a product or user interface.
• Utility patents – Covering the functional aspects of inventions, machines, systems, or processes, which are the most common type of patent filed.
• Plant patents – Granted for the discovery or creation of new and distinct plant varieties, these patents help safeguard plant breeders’ work.

The patent application process involves several key steps, including conducting a thorough patent search to confirm that your invention is patentable. You must also submit a detailed application to the USPTO, including:

• An abstract summarizing your invention
• A full description explaining how the invention works
• Claims outlining the scope of protection sought
• Detailed drawings or illustrations, if applicable

By ensuring every detail is properly accounted for, we help increase the likelihood of your patent being granted, securing your Texas intellectual property for decades to come.

What Is Patent Prosecution?

Patent prosecution refers to the process of interacting with the USPTO to obtain your patent. This involves back-and-forth communication between your attorney and the USPTO examiners. At Artie Pennington Law Offices, we handle the entire prosecution process for you, responding to USPTO inquiries, addressing office actions, and making adjustments to ensure your patent application is approved. This allows you to focus on growing your business while we take care of the legal requirements.

If infringement is detected, we can help you take legal action to stop the unauthorized use and seek damages for any financial losses.
