How long patents actually take — from provisional filing to non-provisional and issuance timelines (hint: it’s slower than you think)

💼 The importance of talking with a patent attorney early — especially before going public or seeking licensing deals

💸 Costs associated with patents — including initial filing, examination, and attorney fees

📜 What “patent pending” really means — and how long you can use it

🤖 AI-generated inventions — can AI be listed as an inventor? What the USPTO and courts say

🧑‍⚖️ Court cases around AI inventorship — discussion of the DABUS case and its global implications

📝 How provisional patents are often misused — and why a weak provisional can sabotage future patent rights
