Are you interested in filing a patent application without assistance from a registered patent attorney or agent? If so, join our next Stakeholder Offerings and Resources (SOAR) webinar on Wednesday, October 7, from 1-2 p.m. ET.
Sheree Brown, a patent application expert from our Technology Center 2600, will discuss the three-step approach to filing your application without an attorney or agent (known formally as a pro se application).
Topics we will cover include:
- Understanding the different types of patents
- Filing provisional versus nonprovisional applications
- Researching related, pre-existing inventions
- Registering as an e-filer
- Completing the required forms, including disclosures
SOAR training events are free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. After you register, we will email you instructions to join the webinar.
