Patents

A patent can be obtained on many different inventions and products such as devices, manufactures, processes, and compositions of matter. Patents may also be obtained for the design of an article of manufacture—the way something looks. A patent allows the patent owner to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling an invention covered by the claims of the patent.

The challenge for you and your invention is to determine if your invention is patentable, and then get a patent application drafted that is broadly claimed and effectively excludes your competition. When a patentable invention claim meets the requirements of the US Patent and Trademark Office, a patent is granted. This ensures your invention is exclusively protected with an enforceable patent.

At RM IP Law, we strive to work with you to create an enforceable patent application and prosecute your patent application until it is granted. Once your patent is issued, we offer a full range of services to maintain your patent and enforce competitor compliance.
