word, name, signature, scent or shape.

Whether you are an inventor, engineer, scientist, or
just someone with a great idea, having a patent will
help protect your invention and provide you with
a competitive edge in the marketplace. Effective
patent protection also enhances your commercial
opportunities, making it easier to seek investment
from prospective partners or licensees.
