How to Patent an Invention

Patents are a legal matter, and the right path depends on your situation. Vespucci Global is not a law firm — but we can help you get your product ready while you work with a qualified patent attorney.

This page is general information, not legal advice. For any decision about patents, consult a qualified patent attorney.

General Steps People Take

Every situation is different, but the process often looks something like this:

1Document your invention and how it works
2Consult a qualified patent attorney about patentability and strategy
3Consider a prior-art search
4Decide on the type of protection with your attorney
5Prepare drawings and a working prototype to support the process

Where We Can Help

Patents themselves are handled by your attorney. On the product side, Vespucci Global can help with prototypes, drawings, and getting your design ready — the tangible pieces that often support a patent application and move your product toward production.

Please keep your question general and non-confidential during the introductory consultation. If confidential review is needed, an NDA can be arranged before a longer engagement.
