Patent prosecution is the long, slow back-and-forth with government offices after you file a patent application. It’s where you convince them to grant your patent. Most founders think of it as a legal headache they’d rather avoid. And when you’re trying to protect your idea in multiple countries, the process gets even messier. Why Global…

Getting a patent should feel like a win. You built something new. You solved a hard problem. You put in the work, and now you want to protect it. But for most founders and engineers, patents feel like a chore. Endless forms. Confusing deadlines. Costly lawyers. You just want to ship your product, not spend…

When you file a patent, you’re not just protecting an idea. You’re locking in your edge. You’re building value in your startup. And most importantly, you’re buying time—time to build, launch, raise, and scale without worrying someone else will copy your work. How Patent Status Tracking Actually Works What Happens After You File Let’s say…

Startups move fast. Founders have to juggle product, hiring, fundraising, and growth—all at once. So when it comes to patents, most founders either push it off or rush it. Both can be dangerous.

You’re moving fast. Building something real. Something that matters. You’ve poured your time, code, and brainpower into solving a hard problem—maybe one nobody’s cracked before. And now, it’s time to protect it. But the last thing you want is to slow down. What are examiner analytics, really? Think of it like reading the playbook before…

You’re moving fast. You’re building. You’re solving big problems. And your startup’s value is tied to what you’ve invented. The tech. The code. The system. The unique way you’re doing things. But here’s the thing. If you don’t protect it, someone else can copy it. That’s where patents come in. But not just any patent…

You’re building fast. You’ve got a big idea, maybe already launched it, maybe still prototyping. Either way, you’re creating something valuable—and others are noticing.
