Not sure whether your invention is patentable, what type of protection you need, or whether filing makes business sense?
Start with a conversation.
Milano IP can review what you have created, explain your options, and help you determine the right next step.
What’s the difference between a patent, trademark, and copyright?
A patent protects an invention, such as a product, process, or design.
A trademark protects brand identifiers such as business names, product names, logos, and slogans.
A copyright protects original creative works such as writing, software code, designs, photography, and other creative materials.
Many businesses need more than one type of protection.
How much does it cost to work with a patent attorney in Maryland?
Patent costs depend on the complexity of the invention, the type of application being filed, and the amount of work required during prosecution.
During your initial consultation, Milano IP can help identify the likely scope of work and explain the expected fee structure before you decide whether to proceed.
How long does the patent process take?
Patent timelines vary based on the type of application, the technology involved, USPTO review times, and whether the examiner raises objections during prosecution.
Your attorney can explain the likely process and timing based on your specific application.
Do I need a Maryland patent attorney?
Patent law is federal, so patent attorneys can represent clients before the USPTO regardless of where the client is located.
Working with Milano IP gives Maryland businesses local access while also providing the resources of a broader intellectual property practice.
