What happens if my patent application is rejected by the U.S. Patent Office?
First, don’t worry. Most applications are initially rejected by the Patent Examiner. This is the person who has been assigned to review your Patent and will be very critical in allowing your patent rights to be granted. The Patent Examiner represents the United States and the intent is to allow the inventor the precise amount of rights that should be granted. As a result, your patent application will be tested against past inventions and on the information it discloses about your invention in order to come up with a set of Patent Claims that fairly cover your concept. Harrington Law Offices will represent your interests in this process and will seek to have the broadest Patent Claims granted as may be possible.
