Filing a patent application is a complex but accessible process. The key to leveraging patents properly is to understand timelines and strategies, and to engage a trusted advisor that understands your technology and your business. For a patent protection strategy to be effective, clients must have an understanding of the requirements for patentability while a patent agent must have an understanding of the client’s business.
