About this procedure
An invention without a patent is an idea given away. When you develop a truly new product or process, an invention patent is what turns that effort into an exclusive right: for the legal term, only you can make it, use it or sell it, and you can stop others from copying it or license your technology for money. It's the difference between inventing something and owning it.
There's a rule here that breaks hearts, and it has to be said up front: novelty. To be patented, your invention must be new to the world at the moment you file, and if you disclose it first, by showing it at a trade fair, publishing it or starting to sell it, you can destroy that novelty and lose the right to patent it forever. The classic mistake of the enthusiastic inventor is showing off the creation before protecting it. That's why the first piece of advice is always the same: file first, show later.
We handle that technical, delicate process: we assess the patentability of your invention, help draft the claims that define its scope, and file the patent application with SAPI, with follow-up on the case file. It's the most complex procedure in this area, and its price starts at $350, adjusted to the nature of the invention. A lawyer reviews your situation and confirms with you before we start, no strings attached.
