About the service
Patent drafting stands as the initial and, arguably, the most pivotal step in the entire patent lifecycle. Regardless of the innovation's brilliance, a poorly drafted patent can jeopardize the rightful return on investment. Such deficiencies may open doors for potential infringers to exploit loopholes, or worse, result in the loss of patent rights due to issues like improper enablement or inadequate explanation of the invention.
A well-crafted patent draft not only ensures proper enablement of the invention but also encompasses all conceivable embodiments of the innovation. Often, inventors may not foresee every potential variation of their creation. A skilled patent drafter collaborates closely with inventors to safeguard the broadest scope of the invention through meticulously crafted claims.
