Utility patents are the most important type of patent for inventors. These are the patents which establish your rights over the function and workings of your invention. If you’ve created a new device or method, this is the main type of application you’ll want to file. Filing a utility patent is a significant investment and can be quite complicated. With Cad Crowd, you’ll be connected to a professional patent attorney who will guide you through every step of the patent process.
Whereas utility patents protect the function of your invention, design patents give you exclusive rights to the form or presentation. Design patents can be quite important in establishing your product’s uniqueness
and in carving out a spot in the market. While not as sophisticated as a utility patent, a qualified patent attorney will help ensure that your patent process goes smoothly the first time around, saving you money on costly and avoidable mistakes.
An essential part of any patent application process is a reliable patent search. Our patent search service will connect you with an experienced and professional attorney who understands how to navigate the USPTO databases. The last thing you want is for your costly patent application to be rejected because you missed something in your preliminary search that a professional would have found. Avoid costly errors, and take advantage of Cad Crowd’s leading network of expert U.S patent lawyers.
