More about AEON Law
People often ask why we are named “AEON”. Is it because of ÆON FLUX the cool 1980s MTV animated series? No, but it is an excellent show. Instead, our origins go back a few thousand years to Plato’s Republic and his allegory of the cave.
In that story, a group of prisoners is chained in a cave and looking at the cave wall. Shadows are cast on the wall from the light of a fire. But because the prisoners can only see the shadows, they think the shadows are reality; black and white, with two dimensions. The prisoners are unaware that the figures and objects that are casting the shadows, which the prisoners can’t see, are the reality.
One day, a prisoner escapes from the cave and sees the outside world with colors and shapes. At first, all he can see are the shadows they cast, but eventually, he realizes that the shapes themselves are more real than the shadows they cast. Plato says that we exist in our own cave of perception and think that the objects we see are real. But Plato says that our everyday objects are merely shadows of their essential forms (Platonic Ideals). These Platonic Ideals exist in the eternal world of ideas “behind” the perceived world that is known as ÆON.

1. File Early - The First-to-File System is Critical
The US operates on a first-to-file system, meaning whoever files first gets priority rights. In competitive fields where multiple innovators might be solving the same problem, filing as early as possible becomes crucial for securing your invention rights.
2. Avoid Public Disclosure Traps
You have only 1 year from any public disclosure to file your patent application, or you lose your rights forever. Be extremely careful about presentations, publications, or detailed discussions without NDAs - even university presentations can invalidate your patent rights.
3. Provisional Applications Must Be Detailed
Many inventors underestimate provisional applications, but inadequate descriptions can lead to loss of priority rights. Be as detailed as possible - if you don't adequately describe your invention, you're not entitled to the filing date as your invention date.
4. Understand the 18 to 24 Month Timeline
Expect your first patent office response 18 to 24 months after filing. Rejections are normal: over 90% of applications receive initial rejections. Plan for multiple rounds of responses and amendments during prosecution.
5. Align Patent Strategy with Business Strategy
File patents on innovations that create competitive moats, not just any invention. Focus on high-leverage opportunities that add real value to your company: each patent should be a strategic asset that supports your core value proposition and fundraising goals.
