Happy Friday everybody! We’re at the end of our series about patent applications and all the options you have but making that decision how do you’re gonna file. Back on Monday we talked about not filing at all. We talked about how you could file on your own and file using a third-party cheap LegalZoom service. You know these options, while they might sound alluring and good to the the pocketbook, they’re huge mistakes to make and we’ve gone through all of that.
Today we’re talking about the grand slam – the best option and truly the only option for moving forward with your patent application and that’s to use a patent attorney. A registered USPTO patent attorney has all the skills and they certainly will be able to help you with making sure you have the right scope to deliver the biggest value patent out there.
That’s the first topic – making sure that you’ve got the biggest market share. You’ve invented something that is brand new to the world. You don’t want to sell yourself short and either file yourself or have someone else do it that’s not qualified. A patent attorney can help you get the most bang for the buck. Your invention might be on, you know, product A, but by having a patent attorney write claims that are broader than that you’re gonna be able to have seek industries and that protections on products you never even thought of. So the market sharing the value and using a patent attorney is immense.
Thinking about investors, you’re looking at, we mentioned the Shark Tank this week right? You’re gonna have a patent pending that really means something and it’s going to be have the signature of a patent attorney behind it. Those investors, those boards of directors members and advisors are going to really respect you for having the the gumption, the diligence to go seek out a professionals opinion. That means a lot to people and it’s going to show up in your and the value in the quality of your work. He didn’t take any shortcuts. You went right to the person that has the answers.
When you look at growth of your company and trying moved it to the next level, this is the foundation, you know, this may be a startup you’re working on, this may be a moving one or two year company, your patented technology really is the beating heart that is what your company’s surrounded by. Do you want to have the heart of your company based on something that is sort of taking a shortcut or you’ve used a second or third rate type of company? You get the job done? Absolutely not! You want to hold nothing back and you want to work with the best.
A registered US patent attorney has gone to engineering school, likely got their master’s in engineering, went to law school and then passed a difficult patent bar examination.
