Welcome to InventionPatent.net- an information & resource website of Owen Smigelski. Owen is an in-house counsel for intellectual property with a multinational corporation. This is a information website for intellectual property, which includes patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Patents protect inventions. Without patent protection, you may lose all of your rights to your invention. A patent gives you the right to exclude others from manufacturing, using, and selling your patented invention. Our website has info about why a patent is important, how to decide if you should file a patent application for your invention, what to expect from during the the patent application process, and how to respond to communications from USPTO (also called "patent prosecution.") After reviewing this information, it is advisable to contact a patent attorney to identify the process for protecting your invetion. Additionally, we can provide information regarding trademarks. Trademarks help protect names and/or logos for your invention, and your business venture. This website an show you why a trademark is important, how to search for similar trademarks, assist with the trademark application process, and how to respond to communications from the USPTO. A registered trademark will protect the identities of your products and services. It is important to consult with a trademark attorney prior to filing a trademark appliation. They can help you avoid potential problems with your mark before they occur. Saving a few dollars for filing your application can end up costing you a lot more down the road.
