Patent Disclosure Meeting The preparation of a patent application begins with a good disclosure by the inventor(s). Usually, an inventor writes a document explaining his or her invention. The level of detail may vary, but usually it should be enough detail so that someone having ordinary skill in the particular technology can understand the details. If the inventor works for a company with an established patent program, the disclosure may be well developed. If the inventor is not assisted by a patent professional, the disclosure may require more information.

The application preparation process will generally include a meeting with the inventor(s). It is our goal to conduct the most comprehensive and complete first disclosure meeting possible. A good first disclosure is key to an efficient preparation process that will reduce the burden on the inventor. If possible, we prefer in-person disclosure meetings, but we also routinely conduct teleconference disclosure meetings and web-based conferences.

The 3 phases of patent preparation. Inventors, don't let the process overwhelm you. Your goal should be to focus on your invention and let your patent pro guide you through the process! Contact us for details. www.penillaip.com
