Thousands of patents are submitted to the patent office every day and a patent committee reviews each patent for its validity. The patent application process requires that correctly drafted documentation present a clear case for the novelty of the invention, which is best made by using a Maine patent attorney with a higher education background and knowledge of your industry.

The Maine patent attorneys on UpCounsel 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 types of patents are easier to obtain and are less expensive but you should have a patent lawyer in Maine review your provisional patent application to insure that you are meeting your objectives when you file your patent.
