Filing for a patent includes a stringent process in which the inventor would have to provide a detailed description of their idea. This description must explain why the idea is original and innovative – chronicling all the necessary facets of the invention that make it so. This process is called patent drafting.
An inventor in Utah should use the services of a registered patent attorney in Utah to prepare and file the patent application. Although an inventor may file and obtain their own patent, there is no guarantee that the patent would sufficiently protect the invention.
