Press Release Body: Inventors should review hiring a top tier patent attorney,
versus filing on their own or even worse doing nothing to protect their most
important asset.
A patent is the property right given by the U.S Patent and Trademark Office to an
inventor. It gives the inventor an exclusive right over the invention preventing
others from making, using or selling the invention stated in the patent deed. The
main purpose behind issuing of patents is to enable the inventor in recovering
developmental costs and help in facing the competition.

The patent is a way to extend legal protection to the inventions ranging from
communications to technology. However, the process to get patents is long and
tiresome and it is where the need of a Patent Lawyer is felt. The process to get
patent is not simple. You need to argue your case as to why your invention is worth
any patent and how the invention is different from other products already in the
market. Patent applications seldom get accepted in the first instance. The role of
the patent lawyer is to redo the application and submit it again with new
information so that it is accepted.

The patent lawyer makes an inquiry about the invention or idea and then conducts a
search whether a patent has already been issued for a product or service similar in
characteristics. It is only after a complete and thorough inquiry that the patent
lawyer advocates the case for the issuing of a patent. However, the inventor can
himself search for the validity of a patent by going through the Patent and
Trademark Office\'s Web site at www.uspto.gov. It generally takes three years for the
patent application to clear because of huge stack of applications in the Patents
Office.

How do I register for a patent?
Filing for a patent application electronically, by using EFS, the USPTO\'s electronic
filing system for patent applications saves a lot of time. The various types of
patent applications are:

- Utility Patent Application
- Design Patent Application
- Plant Patent Application

The patent lawyer makes the complicated and tiresome process of getting a patent
simple and trouble-free.
