the patent application process does need specifications and dates and details, but once you have an idea start the application process as soon as possible.
if you just have an idea, then your first step is to review the existing patents that are already in the data base at the uspto. The sole reason for this search is to save you time and money if your idea is already legally protected by someone else. One question you need to ask yourself is if your idea has commercial validity and value. If the answer is yes, then proceed.
once you are sure your idea is not yet already covered, you must decide what category your patent should be filed under. The most common is the work and utility patent. This covers inventions, processes, new discoveries, composition of matter, and modifications to existing items. There is also the design patent that covers a new, unique and original article for manufacturing. The third type is the plant patent. This is if you invent or discover a new asexual plant that reproduces and is distinctly a new type of species.
the different parts of the application that will need to be known are the specifications of your idea. You should also have a working prototype to make sure your discovery and invention does what you say it will. The patent examiner will need to read your abstract about your discovery and invention and go over your drawings. All of these things need to be submitted with your application. It’s the dates and details that will decide if your patent is granted or denied. For this reason, never be indefinite and vague about anything when it comes to your discovery and invention.
once the patent application process begins, be ready for communication exchanges with the patent examiner. Most inventors forget something they want, so be ready.
