Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Broomfield Patent Attorneys

Our experienced Broomfield patent attorneys & lawyers represent individuals and businesses throughout the world with domestic and foreign patent preparation and prosecution matters. They have extensive experience handling applications from nearly every sector of technology, including biotechnology, computer hardware and software, communication networks, internet systems and methods, automotive, medical equipment, construction technology, consumer electronics, and clean technology research and development.

Our patent attorneys are of the most highly trained in the industry, requiring a scientific background, and passing a second level of testing known as the Patent Bar Examination. Thousands of patents are submitted to the patent office every day and a patent committee reviews each patent for its validity. The process requires that correctly drafted documentation present a clear case for the novelty of the invention, which is best made by a patent attorney with a higher education background in your industry.

Our Broomfield patent attorneys & lawyers can help you file a provisional patent, which lasts for 1-year and allows you to immediately begin using/manufacturing your invention with the confidence that your idea is protected. These types of patents are great if you think your idea will change a lot over the next year before you file a (non-provisional) patent. These patents are easier to obtain and are less expensive but you should have a patent lawyer review your provisional patent application to insure that you are meeting your objectives when you file your patent.

If You Need Ongoing Legal Counsel or Ad-hoc Legal Work - We Can Help!

Patent Exhaustion

  • 7 min read

What Is Patent Exhaustion?

Patent exhaustion happens when a patented item, typically under a utility patent, is legally made and sold in the United States and the person who holds the patent gives up all rights to it. 

If you patent your invention and sell it to someone, you give up your rights over the use of that item. This is especially true if the only value in your invention is in its use. This applies to any patented product, but think about your car. The make and model of your car have a patent. As an individual, after you buy the car, you can give it away, sell it, or make any changes you want to it without worrying about being sued by the automaker. However, you can make patented items for sale subject to some terms of sale or license agreements. 

When Patent Exhaustion Doesn't Apply

There are times when patent exhaustion doesn't apply. If your product is sold outsid

Utility vs Design Patent: Key Differences and Legal Guidance

  • 14 min read

Key Takeaways

  • Utility patents protect functional aspects (how something works); design patents protect appearance (how something looks).
  • Utility patents are more expensive, harder to get, but offer broader protection and greater commercial value.
  • Design patents are quicker to obtain, more cost-effective, and particularly valuable in industries focused on product aesthetics.
  • You can apply for both patent types for the same invention if both form and function are unique.
  • Patent infringement litigation and enforcement differ significantly between utility and design patents.
  • Strategic timing, industry, and end goals influence which patent (or combination) to file.

A utility patent vs. a design patent may have inventors wondering which one is best for their invention. Utility patents and design patents differ because utility patents cover unique ideas or inventions, but design paten

How Much Do Inventors Make and Why It Varies

  • 17 min read

Key Takeaways

  • Most inventors make between nothing and a few thousand dollars from a single invention.
  • Only about 5% of patented inventions reach the marketplace; fewer than 1% generate substantial income.
  • Income varies widely based on factors like industry, licensing deals, and business approach.
  • Inventors can profit through selling patents, licensing, manufacturing, or working under contract for companies.
  • Success often requires market research, effective pitching, realistic expectations, and persistence.

How Much Do Inventors Make?

The question "how much do inventors make" does not have one answer. A great invention at the perfect time can earn the inventor millions, a few good inventions can keep the inventor going for years, or inventing can be a money sink that never amounts to anything. However, there are several ways to

Patent Assignment

  • 6 min read

Patent Assignment: What Is It?

A patent assignment is a part of how to patent an idea and is an irrevocable agreement for a patent owner to sell, give away, or transfer his or her interest to an assignee, who can benefit from and enforce the patent. The assignee receives the original owner's interest and gains exclusive rights to intellectual property. He or she can sue others for making or selling the invention or design.

There are four types of patent assignments:

  • Assignment of Rights - Patent Issued: This is for patents that have already been issued.

  • Assignment of Rights - Patent Application: This is for patents still in the application process. After filing this form, the assignee can be listed as the patent applicant.

How to Get a Patent Pending

  • 7 min read

How to Get a Patent Pending: What Is the Process?

If you want to get a patent pending, all you need to do is file a provisional patent application (PPA) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Filing the application involves clearly describing your invention and paying a fee ranging from $65-$260, depending on your business size. With the application filed, your invention has patent pending status.

The U.S. Congress set up the provisional patent application as a fairly quick and easy way to get patent pending status. The idea is to let inventors show their work to investors without worrying that they'll steal it. To file a PPA, you n
