The patent process includes invention, evaluation, strategy, application, prosecution (processing application with examination, amendments, arguments, etc), issuance, maintenance, enforcement and eventual lapse. Procedures and specific requirements are governed by international treaty and by a variety of national laws. There are potentially limiting miss-steps that could be made at any phase and professional advice is recommended immediately for anyone who believes they may have made a valuable invention, including improvements to existing products or inventions. Many practitioners will give a short "free" consultation to point you in the right direction and warn you of immediate hazards. If you have questions about how a specific phase works, more information is available.

A patent gives the inventor of a product or process a temporary monopoly on its use. The intent is to reward the creator for making the invention available by giving them a period of exclusivity.

The patenting process includes researching to see if a patent exists. Other legal steps must be taken and forms must be filled out and submitted to the US Patent Office.
