WHAT
IS A FOREIGN PATENT? |
| |
- A patent
granted by the United States government gives you a monopoly
for your invention in the United States only. For many
inventors, a United States patent is not enough protection.
- A foreign
patent gives you a monopoly for your invention in one
or more countries around the world. A + Legal Services
usually recommends at least applying for a patent in Canada
because Canada is so geographically close to the United
States. You would not want someone to sell your invention
right over the border without your permission.
- Deciding
if foreign patent protection is right for your invention
is an ongoing process that begins as soon as your invention
is disclosed to A + Legal Services. Foreign patent laws
change rapidly, and depending on your personal goals for
your invention, A + Legal Services will outline a plan
of attack so that you don't miss important foreign filing
deadlines.
- If
you are interested in learning about foreign patents,
contact A+ Legal Services and ask us about the Patent
Cooperation Treaty and the European Patent Office.
