FAQ

In filing a patent application and paying required fees, the USPTO provides forms and an electronic filing tool. You may also wish to find a patent attorney or agent to help draft the required description of the invention and claims, and any required drawings.

The poor man's patent has become outdated as a result of the change from the “first-to-invent” to the “first-to-file” system. It's not enough to have a good idea. The key is the date of filing, which must be recorded in a patent at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Utility patent application: may be filed by anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof.

The five primary requirements for patentability are: (1) patentable subject matter; (2) utility; (3) novelty; (4) non-obviousness; and (5) enablement. Like trademarks, patents are territorial, meaning they are enforceable in a specific geographic area.

Utility patent application: may be filed by anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof.

Under the “first to file” system, there exists no value in obtaining a Poor Man's Patent since it now only matters who filed for the patent first and not who came up with the idea first. Essentially, a Poor Man's Patent has about as much value today as the postage affixed to the envelope.

Patent application forms can be found on the USPTO website. All of the forms related to patent applications can be found on the link here, or by navigating to the USPTO website and clicking on the “Forms” link under the “Apply for a Patent” section on the “Patents” page.
