Patent Questions & Checklist

Our worksheet helps you identify key issues before talking to a lawyer

Patents protect original inventions, including new designs, engineering, software, biomedical innovations, and business methods. A lawyer can answer your legal questions about patents, help you apply for a new patent -- whether provisional or not, help you overcome issues regarding prior art or indefiniteness, or help you handle an infringement issue. You can learn more about all your legal questions about patents here.

Prepare for your first meeting or call with a patent lawyer using Priori’s patent resources, including our patent worksheet. Using our patent checklist, you’ll be able to think through your legal questions about patents in advance of your meeting with your lawyer. You can even send your patent worksheet directly to your lawyer, so your lawyer can prepare ahead of time and make your interaction as productive and cost-effective as possible. If needed, Priori can also connect you with a patent lawyer in our vetted network who can assist you with your legal questions about patents and your other intellectual property related questions.
