Developing a patenting strategy to protect the commercial embodiments of an invention can be a challenge. The rights afforded by a single patent – to exclude others from making, using, selling, importing or distributing an invention without permission do not extend beyond the borders of the country issuing the patent. As a result, deciding where to patent an invention is very important along with understanding the processes available to secure appropriate protection and how they may align with your commercial activities and future goals.
