Question
Hi everybody!
We are a Californian startup company in the Healthcare/IT sector. How long does it usually take from hiring a patent attorney to a patent being granted? Is there a way to speed up the procedure?
Thanks!

The time to obtain a U.S. patent using the normal procedures averages around 3 years or so. You can speed this up a lot by using the USPTO prioritization program. This costs an extra $2000 for a small company, but brings the time down to under a year. I have obtained patents within 4 months of filing a patent application using this program. If you'd like to discuss this with me at no charge, feel free to call or email.
