Applying for a patent of an idea
Posted by . updated on 7/31/2003
I'm interested in manufacturing a new product for which I would like to apply for a patent. Is it necessary to first produce a prototype or is it possible to first apply for the patent with only a written prospectus of my idea? many thanks,

It is not necessary to have a prototype of your invention in order to apply for a patent. However, a patent application must have enough information in it to be enabling (i.e. to enable someone who is skilled in the relevant field to be able to understand and/or implement the invention after reading the application). So if you have a clear and detailed idea of your invention, you should be able to file a patent application on it. Please contact our office if you would like further advice and/or help with preparing the application. Regards, Deepti Panchawagh-Jain

A written application with drawings and/or description is the usual way to apply for a patent.

It is not necessary to have a prototype or model of your invention. However, you must have a clear description of it, sufficient that one could create a model or prototype. We work with many clients who are in the early development stages and can provide only a basic written description.
