	Did You Know?
	A patent protects your invention. A patent for an invention is a grant of property rights by the U.S. Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention in the United States. The terms "Patent Pending" and "Patent Applied For" are used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed. Patent protection does not start until the actual grant of a patent. Marking of an article as patented, when it is not, is illegal and subject to penalty.

If you've always been the creative type who's been inventing during every spare moment, you may still be able to cash in on all your hard work. By filing a patent request with the US Patent Office, you can secure your right to be the only one to make or sell your product. With the help of a patent lawyer in Mississippi, you can file your patent quickly, and file a lawsuit on anyone who attempts to make money off your hard work.

While most people confuse patents with trademarks and copyrights, patents apply only to ideas. A patent gives you the right to bar others from making, selling, using or importing your product in the United States. Congress writes the laws related to patents. Currently, patents last 20 years from the date on which the patent was filed. Patent laws only work in the United States.

The U.S. awards three types of patents:

• Utility Patents - for discoveries of new, useful machines, composition of matter or any improvements
• Design Patents - for new designs of an article for manufacture
• Plant Patents - for anyone who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces a new species of plant
