A utility patent protects the functional aspects of your invention — how it works, how it is used, or how it is made. It is the most common type of patent, covering machines, processes, compositions of matter, and manufactured articles. Protection lasts 20 years from the filing date. At Sanchelima & Associates, P.A., we have been drafting and prosecuting utility patents since 1977.
