Should Patent protection begin on the date that a patent application is filed?
There is no way to give you protection for your "property" until the application process has been completed. The Patent Office must search to see if other patents already exist for your property. You also have to meet specific guidelines that determine if you are even eligible for your specific patent. Your application also much be carefully and correctly completed before the investigation can even begin. BUT when considering if your property can be patented, the date of your application is proof that the idea or whatever belongs to you. That is a form of protection. If there is another like yours out there, the first one wins! If that happens to be you, you will have all of the benefits a patent offers. If not, you wouldn't have them anyway.Once your application is submitted it is labeled "Patent Pending" from that date. Once you have your patent, anyone who has marketed your idea while your patent was still in the process could be charged with infringement.It's a bit complicated, but you can't just claim something to be yours because you filed an application.
