A great idea isn’t enough—without a patent, your invention is vulnerable. But filing one can be costly, slow, and complex.
We empower inventors with a step-by-step system to prepare a strong patent application before hiring a lawyer.
Get started today and save time, money, and frustration.
Timing is everything. If you wait too long, someone else could disclose or file your idea first. If you file too early, your application may be weak, costing you time and money.
The Right Time to File a Patent is When:
You have a working prototype or detailed design
You're ready to market, fundraise, or protect your idea
You can clearly explain what makes your invention unique
If you’re at this stage, the next step is critical:
filing the strongest possible application.
Every great invention starts with an idea, but without a patent, that idea is a donation to the public domain
A patent gives you the exclusive right to make, use and sell your innovation and allows you stop others from infringing your rights.
But here's the problem: Patent applications are expensive, slow, and complex. Many inventors waste thousands of dollars hiring a lawyer before stopped to evaluate what makes their invention unique.
We believe there’s a better way.
Most patent attorneys charge by the hour—which means the more back-and-forth you have, the more money you spend. By following our step-by-step system, you’ll:
01
Eliminate unnecessary legal fees by preparing
key materials yourself
02
Speed up the patent process by avoiding
common mistakes.
03
Submit a stronger application with clearer
claims and supporting documents.
Why pay an attorney to do what you can do yourself?

A few years ago I foung myself in a legal controvery involving intellectual proerpty and happily found Venjuris. He became my trsuted advisor. Not only did he guide me through the mess successfully he did so without having to go to court. Saved me time, money and a lot of stress. And the issue, once settled, has remained settled.

Awesome patent lawyers! Professional, responsive, creative, honest, smart, helpful, encouraging and integrity are just a few of the words that describe my patent lawyer who I have been fortunate to work with on my very first provisional patent. Without hesitation I will recommend him and his firm and I will continue to engage in his legal services and advise as my project develops.
