Patent Services

Carson Patents provides patenting services for utility, design, and plant patent applications. Utility applications seek to protect how and what an invention does (its use/function). On the other hand, design applications seek to protect inventive unique design (its look/ornamental appearance). Lastly, plant applications seek to protect a plant that possesses new or unique characteristics (35 U.S.C. 161). We offer affordable expert utility, design, and plant invention services following our 5 steps. Our USPTO Registered Patent Practitioner (patent attorney) is an online services specialist. Contact us for help with any of the 5 steps. The five steps are the same for all three types of patents, however, the details vary slightly between the three.
