Episode Synopsis

In business and innovation, timing is everything—especially when it comes to patents. Unlike trademarks, where rights can last indefinitely if maintained properly, or copyrights, where they last for a very long time whether they’re registered or not, patents require registration, operate on a strict timeline, and last for a comparatively limited time.

Let’s break down the key dates you need to know to protect your inventions.
