Patent Strategy 7

We have shown you how to match a product development cycle into one single PCT patent application. In this lesson, we show you how to further prosecute each inventive concept of it to national grant.

Again The Starting Point

We have a typical product development circle:

  • Idea
  • Functional Model
  • Prototype
  • Product 1.0

Summary:

  • If you have an ongoing development for a specific product, file patent applications after each milestone

being reached

  • The first patent application should be filed before even making a functional model of the new product,

based on the pure product idea.

  • The first patent application should be filed as a non-provisional patent application, together with a

search request. This will provide you with an early official search result.

  • At the end of the priority year of the first patent application, file a non-provisional patent application,

claiming all the priorities of those patent applications that have been filed during that priority year.
