Services
At American Patent Agency, we streamline patenting with expertise in patent law and strategy, entrepreneurship, and AI. Our services include drafting, prosecution, and IP portfolio management, simplifying the patenting process for our clients.
Prior Art Search
One of the initial steps in the patent process for companies is conducting a prior art search to determine if the idea, or something similar, has already been patented or publicly disclosed. A comprehensive search requires a strong technical background and expertise in patent law. However, sifting through over 10 million U.S. patents, applications, and abandoned filings can be time-consuming. At APA, we excel at navigating prior art efficiently, leveraging advanced AI tools to enhance our process. This efficiency is crucial in expediting patent issuance.
Patent Prosecution and Issuance
Legal expertise is essential in patent prosecution for tech companies. As your legal representatives, we bring unique skills that set us apart, including proficiency in the USPTO Track One Prioritized Examination Procedure, which has resulted in patents being issued in as quickly as two to four months. We take every step to minimize rejections and appeals. Whether prosecuting patents we’ve drafted or taking over cases filed by others, our goal is to secure successful patent issuance in the shortest time possible.
Provisional Patent Application
A provisional patent application is an advantageous option for clients, allowing faster filing to secure the earliest possible priority date while keeping the application confidential. With this option, you have one year to evaluate your invention’s commercial potential before committing additional resources. It also enables you to promote your technology by appending the “Patent Pending” notice in your marketing. However, if a full non-provisional patent application is not pursued, the provisional application will be abandoned after twelve months and its contents will remain undisclosed to the public.
Patent Drafting
We customize our patent applications to provide the most comprehensive protection in the AI, blockchain, robotics, and related industries. A utility patent is granted for the invention of a new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or an improvement thereof. It grants the owner the right to prevent others from making, using, or selling the invention for up to 20 years from the filing date. At APA, our team of experienced inventors, engineers, and patent agents ensures a deep understanding of the technical intricacies of your AI IP.
Portfolio Management
American Patent Agency helps high-tech companies build a strong IP foundation. We also offer consulting services, including developing IP strategies, facilitating inventor disclosures through workshops, organizing brainstorming sessions with founders, and addressing any other IP needs your company may have.
