Patent Registration & Filing Support
Turn a new invention into an enforceable asset, with a clear strategy in place before you disclose or file.
A patent gives you the right to exclude others from making, using, selling or importing your invention for a limited time. In exchange, the invention is disclosed to the public. Patents are granted, not automatic, and the wording of your application largely decides what you can enforce later.
To be patentable, an invention generally has to be useful, novel and non-obvious, and fall within eligible subject matter. Timing is critical: in many countries a public disclosure or sale before filing can prevent patent protection altogether. The U.S. offers a limited one-year grace period, but relying on it puts international rights at risk.
That is why we start with a conversation and a prior-art search, not a form: to gather the facts a registered patent practitioner needs to advise you on whether a patent is realistic, and whether another kind of protection may fit better.
Types of patent protection
Utility patent
Protects how an invention works: new and useful processes, machines, manufactures and compositions of matter. Generally lasts 20 years from the filing date, subject to maintenance fees.
Design patent
Protects the ornamental appearance of a product. For applications filed on or after May 13, 2015, the term is 15 years from grant.
Provisional application
A lower-cost first filing that secures an early filing date and gives you 12 months to file a non-provisional application. It is not examined on its own.
International route (PCT)
One international application that lets you postpone national filing decisions across more than 150 countries.
Registered practitioners
Only a registered patent attorney or patent agent may prepare and prosecute patent applications for others before the USPTO, or advise on patentability. TITLEWRIGHT does not draft claims or give patentability opinions; we organize your materials and coordinate with a registered practitioner.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should I tell people about my invention before filing?
Ideally not, at least not without a non-disclosure agreement. In most countries a public disclosure before filing can destroy novelty. Talk to us first.
How long does it take to get a patent?
Examination often takes several years, depending on the technology and the office. A provisional filing can secure an early filing date while you refine the invention and look for funding.
Can software or a business method be patented?
Sometimes, but eligibility rules are strict, particularly in the U.S. after the Supreme Court’s Alice decision. A registered patent practitioner can advise whether patent protection is realistic or whether copyright, trade secrets or trademarks are a better fit; we can help gather the facts.
Is a patent valid worldwide?
No. Patents are territorial: each country grants its own. The PCT route lets you delay national filing decisions, but you must eventually file in every country where you want protection.
