Welcome to Dewipat, where we transform good ideas into intellectual assets.

Newbies
If you are new to acquiring intellectual assets, please get acquainted with the different forms of intellectual property by reading General Information Concerning Patents at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website.

Pre-application search
Perhaps you’ve decided that the best form of protection for your invention is a patent.  Before you engage a patent agent or attorney to write a patent application for your invention, we’d like to urge you to perform a pre-application search.  A pre-application search consists of searching for printed publications, public knowledge, and patents related to an invention.  You may use a professional searcher for your pre-application search.  However, performing the search yourself, at least initially, would be very beneficial for you.  By performing the search yourself, you’ll see firsthand how others have approached the problem you’re solving.  You may start your search with fee-based or free patent databases.
