Finding a

Patent Attorney in Delaware

In order to legally protect your invention, you need to obtain a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The length and requirements of the patent application are determined by the type of patent. Design patents require only a descriptive title, an optional description, one claim, a description of figures and drawings, and drawings showing the object from all possible angles. Plant patents require a title, specification (description of characteristics, related plants, and proof of asexual production) one claim, and two color depictions.

Utility patent applications, however, require several different sections of great length, including a discussion of prior art, the objects and advantages of your invention, drawings, a detailed description of the invention, and legal claims of its attributes.

The claims in particular are quite difficult to write without a patent attorney, as they must be worded in patent legal jargon. It is possible to have a perfectly good patent rejected simply because of mistakes on the application due to a lack of expertise on patent law. It is also possible to have a patent approved but essentially become useless because if a thorough description is not given, it is easy for competitors to get around the patent specifications. In order to ensure that your invention is protected, it is recommended that you hire a patent attorney to write your patent application for you
