質問
I am a qualified electrician and have created a new device for energy efficiency in the home. I have not shared the idea with anyone yet but it is working well in our home and I might be interested in starting a company later on. I don't have a lot of money to spend right now on lawyers so is there any value in getting a patent now if my technology is 'secret'? I don't want to spend money on a patent that will be half-expired by the time I get round to sharing the idea.

Hi,
There are cost-effective strategies, including the preparation and filing of a Provisional Patent Application, to preserve your priority date while avoiding or delaying some of the costs of full patent prosecution. You may also have some level of protection under trade secret law, depending upon the specific facts and circumstances of your matter.
I would be happy to assist you further.
Regards,
Jeff Schell, Lead Counsel, Rocky Mountain Patent
