Retaining Patentability

I’m going to answer the question, “how to retain patentability when presenting to potential customers?” The number one way is going to be have a patent application on file so that you are patent pending before you talk to customers.

So there’s a lot of risk to presenting to potential customers if you don’t have that patent application on file. We are now in a first to file patent system in the United States. If your customers go and file a patent application try to claim it as their own, yours will be first. I also recommend a non-disclosure agreement even after your patent is filed. For more information on how to protect your patent or protect your rights to a patent contact me. I’m Wayne Carroll at Inspired Idea Solutions Law Firm.
