Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Lebanon Patent Attorneys

Our experienced Lebanon 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 Lebanon 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 Claim Construction

  • 4 min read

What Is a Patent Claim?

A patent claim is the part of your patent application, typically for utility patents, that explains what it is you are trying to protect. 

Patent Claim Construction: What is it?

If you have to accuse a person or company of stealing your idea, you will need to prove there has been patent infringement. This process has two steps:

  • There is the patent claim, which explains the product's use and makeup.

  • There is the infringement analysis, which determines whether or not the claim has been violated.

This means you can't determine the second part (and win the case) without having a strong claim.

In most patent courts, the judges (or the juries) are told to focus more on written evidence than physical

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

Utility Patent Cost Breakdown and Savings Tips

  • 13 min read

Key Takeaways

  • Utility patent costs can range from $6,000 to over $15,000, depending on complexity.
  • USPTO fees include application, search, examination, and maintenance, with discounts for micro and small entities.
  • Attorney fees vary by invention type and complexity; flat-fee and capped-fee options may be available.
  • Provisional patent filings are cheaper upfront and offer “patent pending” status for a year.
  • Costs can be reduced by filing electronically, performing your own patent search, or starting with a provisional application.

The utility patent cost includes a $540 patent search fee, a $220 examination fee, a $330 application filing fee, and possibly a patent lawyer's legal fees which can exceed $10,000. The utility patent lasts 20 years from the date of the original application filing and includes maintenance fees that are billed every few years as follows:

  • 3.5 years - $980

Notice of Allowance: Next Steps, Deadlines, and Key Details

  • 7 min read

Key Takeaways

  • A Notice of Allowance (NOA) signals that the USPTO has approved a patent or trademark application for issuance or registration.
  • For patents, this notice includes instructions for submitting final drawings and paying the issue fee within three months.
  • For trademarks, applicants must file a Statement of Use (SOU) or request an extension within six months, or the application will be abandoned.
  • The NOA does not guarantee registration—the applicant must complete post-allowance formalities.
  • You can defer patent issuance under limited circumstances and must file continuation or divisional applications before the original patent issues.
  • Deadlines are strict; failing to respond on time may require a revival petition and additional fees.

What is a Notice of Allowance?

A Notice of Allowance is a document sent to a patent applicant from the United States Patent and
