"Obtaining
a patent isn't cheap, but its protection can be invaluable." Bill
Gates, 1996 |
Software patents are the fastest growing patent sector in the U.S. Over 11,500 US software patents were issued in 1997 alone! Many of these patents may have implications on your capability to make and market your product. A good patent portfolio gives even a small company an excellent bargaining position and allows it to keep operating profitably.
Perhaps the most important aspect to achieving a good patent is employing a patent practitioner who truly understands your invention and its implications. Such understanding can only come from long experience in the field. The staff at Saltamar Innovations understands your technology and can, therefore, help you obtain the patent protection you need for your innovative product.
