Utility Patent Attorneys in Oklahoma

Utility patents are the most common type of patent and are designed to provide individuals and entities with protection for any new functional invention or functional improvement upon an existing invention. The utility patent can apply to a product, a process, a machine, and even to the composition of matter itself. It is different from a design patent, which applies only to the ornamental design of an item.

Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable intellectual property attorneys can advise you on how to approach the lengthy utility patent application process, working closely with you to first understand your goals. We will then consult with you during the invention description and disclosure process, work with your staff to develop and review prototypes and provide a patentability legal opinion prior to beginning the patent application itself. Often, a patent valuation can help your management team during the critical budgeting and strategic planning process.

Finally, our attorneys can write a utility patent application to protect your intellectual property in the event that your patent is involved in litigation at a later date.
