Inventions & Ideas Welcome

Private Inventors. Start-Ups. Enterprise Clients. Small Businesses. Entrepreneurs. We provide online utility, plant, and design invention patenting services using our 5 steps to patent. Carson Patents’ five steps to patenting starts with the prior art search. If the invention is patentable, we then write and file the patent application. Once the application is properly filed, the invention is patent pending. The last step is to prosecute the application. Prosecution for patent applications is communicating with the USPTO to advance an application through examination. We provide patenting services for utility and design inventions. We also offer pro se help patenting services for inventors who want to represent their own inventions.

About Us – We are a Team with a Speciality

Carson Patentsʼ team of experts has the common goal of bringing your inventions to life. We work to ensure that everyone can be included in global innovation and the sharing of new ideas. Moreover, we work to make sure those new ideas are protected. Carson Patents offers intellectual property legal services for patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Our leadership team, however, is focused on patent applications for new inventions and ideas.

We Stay in Our Lane

The Carson Patents Leadership Team specializes in writing and prosecuting patent applications. We write new patent applications for inventions and prosecute them to allowance or final rejection. Our leadership team is focused on representing new inventions in patent applications. We specialize in working with inventors to seek patent protection for their inventions. Seeking patent protection starts with a prior art search and a patentability study. This research and evaluation is done to provide us with a reasonable good faith based belief that the claims of the new invention are allowable in a patent. There are no guarantees, but we only write patent applications that we believe are patentable.

We Write and Prosecute Patent Applications

We work directly with inventors to search for prior art and determine if we can write a set of allowable claims to protect the invention with a patent. If the invention is patentable, we write the claims, create the drawings, write the specification, write the abstract, complete all necessary/proper forms, and submit the patent application. When the patent prosecution begins, we monitor and receive communications from the USPTO and work with you to respond to office actions (letters).

Inventor Tip: We can write and file accelerated examination patent applications under the USPTO’s Accelerated Examination Program for both utility and design patent applications. This USPTO program is meant to get to a final decision regarding allowance and issue, or rejection, within 12 months by adding a pre-examination search, an accelerated examination support document (AESD), and an examiner interview with the patent examiner.
