Patent Application
A utility patent is the best-known patent application. Utility Patent which protects something with a function like tools, games, toys, electronics, vehicle parts, and high and low-tech devices is very common among IP law. At this step it is critical to involve a patent application attorney. Our registered patent attorney, Michael L. Greenberg, has filed utility patent applications relating to online business methods, stock market prediction methods, traditional business methods, and certain types of software. He is a great asset in patent counsel. A design patent is primarily based on the design or look, not function: A Design Patent protects the look and feel of an item but not its function.Lastly, a plant patent is a powerful tool. Researchers expend time and money producing new or original varieties of plants via asexual reproduction. This is a specialty patent that can become a powerful tool in the right situation on a global scale.
