So if you develop a product then someone steals the idea and goes into competition with you, you have the right to sue and defend your patent rights. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,
I don't want to spend the money on a patent attorney at this time, but I also do not want to give up my patent rights. I've decided to file a Provisional Patent Application (PPA) instead. I have less than a year to file the PPA just like a Real Patent Application (RPA), but I can file the PPA myself, and then when the time comes to file the RPA I shall retain a patent attorney.
