Patent prosecution is the process of drafting, filing, and negotiating with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in order to obtain patent protection and rights for an invention.
The primary difference lies in the legal implications of each stage. An issued patent grants the holder enforceable rights, allowing them to protect their invention from unauthorized use. Conversely, a published patent application does not provide any enforceable rights.
Patent attorneys are experts in preparing and filing patent applications and representing clients in court for patent-related matters such as infringement, licensing, and re-examination.
