The Patent Trademark Office carefully reviews the application in order to determine the invention’s patentability. Upon submission of a patent application to the Patent Trademark Office an Examiner reviews the application and prepares an opinion as to whether the application complies with the Patent Trademark Office applicable rules and regulations, and whether the invention is indeed “patentable.”
The patent cost can be very high for some people which the U.S. Patent Trademark Office charges a minimum of about $4,000 over the life of the patent. A patent application submitted to Patent Trademark Office must contain: (1) a written description of the invention; and (2) claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the invention.
