Patent Prosecution

An Overview

Patent prosecution refers to the process of interacting with a patent office to secure a granted patent for an invention. It encompasses all activities from filing a patent application to responding to office actions, examinations, and oppositions. The objective of patent prosecution is to ensure that the invention meets the legal requirements for patentability, including novelty, inventiveness, and industrial applicability.

Patent prosecution can be divided into pre-grant prosecution, which includes the application and examination process, and post-grant prosecution, which involves maintaining and defending the patent rights after it is granted. A skilled approach to patent prosecution ensures strong protection for your intellectual property.
