San Diego Patent Attorneys

Written by:

In an economy that thrives on advances in technology, patents are one of the most valuable assets to a modern business. Far too often an inventor develops an innovative new product, only to lose the rights to it because they failed to secure the protection they need to prevent others from appropriating it. A patent allows you to enjoy a monopoly in the ability to make, use, and sell an innovative product for a period of time.
