FAQ
Frequently asked questions
These are general answers. Advice may differ after the facts and applicable law are reviewed.
Can we file after launch?
Exceptions depend on the timing and form of disclosure, and overseas rules differ. Filing before disclosure is generally safer.
Can a UI be protected?
Graphic images and screen interfaces may qualify when statutory requirements are met.
Can patents and designs be filed together?
A combined strategy may be appropriate when technical concepts and visual appearance each meet their requirements.
