How long does the U.S. patent process take?
With your co-operation, we can have the patent application completed within a few weeks. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will then examine the application to determine the merits of your idea. This process varies and can take several months or even years depending on the backlog at the patent office. However, during this time, you are able to label your product or design as “patent pending.” This will protect your rights to the innovation and provide others notice that you are patenting your idea.
