Question
We have a working MVP with some early paying customers. Our tech is still being developed further with a full launch expected within two months. So far we considered expanding our distribution/sales channels as the more important objective, and it seems like the work on the patent application and the filing costs would set us way back in other areas. Strategically speaking, should we file for a patent and when? Thanks!

First to answer your question, yes! you should file a patent application, preferably provisional patent application since your product is being developed and come out within a couple of months. In order to save initial filing cost, as I said, you can choose to file the provisional application. Please mind that the provisional specification should also be same care as that of a non-provisional specification. You may also consider outsourcing the patent drafting services to save cost.
you can always seek an experienced patent agent for the subsequent strategy of protecting the patent.
Hope it answers to your query.
Best Regards
Senthil
