Patent Types

Patents come in all shapes and sizes. The three basic types are Utility, Design, and Plant Patents. 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.
