Patents come in all shapes and sizes. The three basic types are Utility (useful devices and processes), Design (appearance of a useful device), and Plant Patents (man-made plant varieties).
You select the type of patent application you will file based on the type of invention you are seeking protection for.You may also choose between a regular, nonprovisional application and a provisional. The provisional application will provide you with patent pending protection. However, it is only an interim application. A regular, nonprovisional application must be filed within 12 months of filing the provisional application.
