Non-Provisional patent application
Many inventors aren’t aware that a US non-provisional patent application is the only way to potentially obtain a US patent. Filing a non-provisional patent application establishes your “priority date”, after which your application is examined and when you can potentially receive a US patent. Establishing your priority date (such as by filing a non-provisional patent application) starts a 12-month period, during which you can file one or more patent applications outside of the US to proceed to obtain a patent there, as well.

Provisional patent application (PPA)
A fast and relatively inexpensive way to obtain “patent pending” status to help protect your IP rights is a provisional patent application (PPA). While the only way to eventually receive a patent is by writing and filing a non-provisional patent application, a PPA is attractive in that it may be written and filed quickly and inexpensively. In this way, you can rapidly secure a priority date for your invention. We have nearly 2 decades’ experience in drafting and filing patent applications to protect your rights. Read more…
Even experienced inventors may not be aware of dramatic changes in US Patent Law in the past 5+ years. Traditionally, filing and prosecuting a patent application can take 1-3 years and cost thousands of dollars from first filing through patent allowance. Changes to US patent laws now allow you to accelerate this process to under 12 months. This can allow you to improve your chances of receiving a patent and to save fees. We know, because we’ve been helping our clients obtain patents using accelerated prosecution for the last 5 years. Read more….
A
design is the shape and/or appearance of an entire article, or an ornamentation applied to an article. A “design patent” (called a “design” throughout the world) is another important way to protect your intellectual property (IP) rights. Quality drawings and special knowledge of design requirements are necessary to obtain a US design patent. We can help you obtain design patent protection for your product or family of products.

In the last 17 years I have registered 5 patents related to civil engineering with various patent offices. My last 2 patents have been with Mr. Haim Factor’s office, 1st-Tech-Ideas. Today, in looking back and comparing offices, I have no doubt that the only one I’ll turn to in the future is Mr. Factor. He is the one who with simplicity, clarity, and modesty interacted fantastically with examiners in various patent offices and who succeeded in quickly obtaining our patents.
Patent Agent Haim Factor, of 1st-Tech-Ideas, helped us obtain a patent for our thermoelectric home and car product. His knowledge of patent law and of expedited processing allowed us to efficiently secure a patent in less than 8 months—start to finish. We not only got a patent quickly, but we saved fees in the process!
We worked with 1st-tech-ideas to successfully write, file, and develop a portfolio of 5 US patents for our advanced video technology. Haim Factor was a skillful prosecutor, writing and speaking with USPTO Examiners to secure each of our 5 patents. His knowledge of patent law and his ability to work efficiently, even with serious objections, made all the difference for us
We needed to quickly obtain patent protection in the US, China, and in Europe for our software/hardware invention. 1st-tech-ideas worked rapidly in the US and in close cooperation with their Chinese and European associates—and succeeded to obtain patents for us in all 3 jurisdictions! Thanks for a job well-done.
