You want to protect your unique vision. In the perfect world, this vision flows from plan to patent effortlessly, creating barriers to market entry, and protecting competitive advantages over all other companies with similar ideas.

In the real world, it isn't that simple. If your patent isn't filed properly, on time and on budget, and carefully shepherded through the patent process, another company can infringe on your idea and you may have no recourse. A competitor might even copy it, add to it, or ultimately claim credit for your idea.

It's clear why today's successful companies focus on protecting their IP.
