There is also something called a new use patent: you can have the same product but it is used in a new, novel way. For example, Melamine foam existed for decades and was largely used as sound proof insulation. BASF, the manufacturer,…[Read more]

I’m preparing to apply for a patent here in the US and I was wondering how much I should expect to be waiting until everything is done.
