What if you came up with this really great idea or design for a new product, and you suddenly saw it advertised on television one day? Suppose you came up with an innovative spin on an existing product, and was about to take it to some business people for possible backing, but you went into WalMart and the “new spin” was already on the shelf? Can you prove that the idea was yours first? Can you verify that you actually originated the design? You might can’t, but there are legal professionals who can. A law firm in Oklahoma specializes in Intellectual Property Prosecution. The legal team at the firm wants to tell you all that is involved in proving that your idea or product design was stolen.
Intellectual property prosecution, also known as patent prosecution, involves a process whereby the applicant for a patent and/or his representative is at opposition with the patent office in regards to the patent applied for. It can be divided into two types of prosecution: pre grant prosecution, which is negotiation with the patent office in order to secure a grant, and post grant prosecution, which involves negotiations concerning amending a patent grant or the opposition of such a grant. In the pre grant prosecution, an application is prepared. In this part of the process, the practitioner seeks to find all who are involved in the design of the idea or product being petitioned for a patent. In the post grant prosecution, usually a third party intervenes to either prevent a patent or have it revoked. Intellectual Property Prosecution should not be confused with intellectual property litigation, as this involves legal matters in regards to an infringement upon a said patent.
