Patents help protect your investment in your product or idea. The legal entitlement to a Patent is..." the right to refuse someone else to make, use or sell your product."  Patents give you the legal right to prevent others from using your idea unless they first obtain your permission and either buy the patent from you or pay you an ongoing licensing fee or royalty payment.   

     Maintaining a competitive edge in today’s “idea economy” requires effectively guarding your intellectual property rights through the use of US Patents. The core value of most businesses isn’t in land, equipment, manufacturing facilities, or other physical property. Today, the most valuable assets of many companies are knowledge-based intangible assets such as proprietary know-how and the innovative application of new ideas or methods of doing business.
