San Diego County Patent Service
Patent Process and litigation–What is a patent?
Karl Neidert & Associates offers patent services in San Diego County to inventors who wish to obtain patents.
The USPTO defines a patent as a property right granted by the U.S. government to an inventor “to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States.” A patent offers protection for 20 years from the date of application filing. The inventor must disclose the patent publicly after the patent is granted.

The importance of a thorough approach to patentability
A thorough approach to devising a patent is crucial for business success. Because you are investing considerable effort and a patent often involves a long-term commitment, you need an attorney who is up to the task. Our firm’s San Diego County patent lawyers take the time to:
- Understand your marketing and business goals
- Seek complete disclosure about the invention—existing patents or similar inventions, the purpose of the invention, how the invention solves problems that other inventions failed to solve, and technical obstacles you resolved to make the invention function
- Analyze the competition and rival products in-depth—understanding how competitors may infringe on your product is fundamental to crafting a patent that safeguards you from infringement or future disputes.
