More about Patent My Product
At Patent My Product, PLC, we focus exclusively on patent protection for physical products and mechanical inventions. Our work includes consumer products, tools and hardware, mechanical devices, outdoor and sporting goods, manufacturing improvements, and non-biotech medical devices. We serve inventors and small businesses nationwide and handle each matter directly from the initial evaluation through patent prosecution.
Our three-step process is designed to answer the most important questions in the right order. First, we hold a readiness and eligibility call to determine whether the invention may qualify for utility patent protection and whether it is ready for a prior-art search. Second, we conduct a worldwide prior-art search and provide a written analysis with a Green, Yellow, or Red recommendation. For inventions that move forward, the third step includes drafting and filing the utility patent application and prosecuting it before the USPTO.
We generally file applications through the USPTO’s expedited Track One program, which is intended to produce a faster examination than the standard process. All patent matters are handled directly rather than being passed to junior attorneys or outside contractors, with all services under a defined, flat-fee structure.
Connect with Patent My Product →5 Things to Know Before Working with a Patent Attorney and Bringing Your Product to Life
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.
