Patent prosecution is the process of drafting, filing, and negotiating a patent application with a patent office, such as the USPTO, to obtain issued patent protection for an invention. Patent attorneys and agents handle this process, responding to examiner objections and rejections to secure the broadest enforceable claims for their clients.
