 Step 2: Search for patents similar to your idea

As you may have discovered, the problem with most great ideas is that someone else has already thought of it. To be patentable, an invention must be novel and non-obvious around the world. The critical question is this: has someone else already applied for a patent? That’s the question A+ Legal will answer for you.

For you to obtain the most protection available under the law, we suggest that you order a U.S. and foreign patent search. A U.S. and foreign patent search will tell you which inventions are similar to your invention.

On your behalf, we will go to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (located near our office in the Washington, D.C. area) and search relevant records by computer and by hand. Going there in person gives us the ability to consult directly with Patent Examiners if necessary. After identifying the classes appropriate to your invention, we then hand search the relevant foreign patent records available to the Patent Examiners.

All applicable phone discussions with you, patent copies, and mailing costs will be included in the price we quote you for conducting the search. We will let you know whether you have a chance of obtaining a patent.

If your idea has a chance of being patented, we will then take steps to protect your rights until the relevant patents are obtained.

Did You Know?

You may apply for a patent for your invention.

Inventors may apply for one of two types of patent applications: (1) A non-provisional application, which begins the examination process and may lead to a patent and (2) A provisional application, which establishes a filing date but does not begin the examination process.

Contact our Patent Professionals to ensure you complete the patent filing process correctly or for violation of your patent rights.
