When should I file my automotive patent?

One thing we know well is patents.  Afterall that is what we do.  However, we also know how to build successful companies which gives us a unique experience not commonly found.  When it comes to automotive patents, the most important thing to understand is that patents are all about timing.  The U.S. is a first inventor to file system.  This means that the inventor with the same automotive invention as another that files first beats the competition.  It is also important to understand the issues with publishing first then filing.  We encourage every automotive client to speak with one of Palo Alto Patent Firm's experienced patent agents sooner rather than later!

Do I need a patent search before applying for an automotive patent?

A patent search or prior art search is a tool used to uncover similar patents to your invention with the anticipation of improving the patent’s description, strategy and claims.  However, there is an 18 month window of unpublished patent applications including automotive patents, that are not available to the public and where a patent search won’t uncover the most recent filings.  We encourage every inventor with a automotive invention to consult with a patent practitioner to determine whether a patent search is right for their business goals.

How long does an automotive patent provide protection?

A utility automotive patent provides 20 years of protection.  Since the U.S. is a first inventor to file system, we recommend securing a  filing date ASAP!  Rest assured, that Palo Alto Patent Firm has the expertise and strategies to help tech-startups make the most of their patent portfolio and add value to their businesses with affordability.

A provisional patent application is a great way to secure a filing date for your automotive invention.  All of our rates can be found on our website here:
