To qualify for patent protection, an invention or idea must be new, “non-obvious,” and useful. Before you go through the expensive and lengthy patent application process, have Austin patent lawyer Craige Thompson at Thompson Patent Law determine if your invention is patentable. Complex inventions cost more to patent than simpler designs. Patent costs vary based on a number of factors. Patent attorney Craige Thompson will work to help you minimize your investment and maximize your return.

According to USPTO statistics, the average “pendency” time – the time it takes the USPTO to approve or reject a patent application after receiving it – is more than thirty-four months. For inventors who want to get their process or product into the marketplace as soon as possible, waiting nearly three years is unacceptable. However, your choice of a patent attorney can genuinely impact the length of your patent application’s pendency.

A patent attorney who is familiar with the process and anticipates issues from the beginning will be able to reduce your patent application’s pendency time. At Thompson Patent Law, we are usually able to avoid time-consuming steps like appeals and Requests for Continued Examination (RCEs), and we’re able to save our clients both time and money. Austin patent lawyer Craige Thompson can move patents through the application process substantially faster than average and cut months off the average pendency time.
