The Patent Registration Process
Patent registration can be a multi-year journey, but Cook Alex simplifies each step:
Evaluate Patentability
We assess your invention to ensure it meets novelty and non-obviousness requirements.
Patent Search
A thorough search of existing patents and publications reduces the risk of conflicts.
Prepare and File Your Application
Our attorneys draft and file a complete patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), including claims and technical drawings.
USPTO Review & Office Actions
An examining attorney reviews your application and may issue office actions requesting clarification or revisions. We handle all responses and negotiations.

Once approved, the patent office grants your patent, and you must maintain it through periodic filings to keep it in force.
