Keeping costs in check is critical when pursuing patent protection, in particular for small and mid-sized U.S. companies. In this podcast, Procopio Partner Ernest Huang of Silicon Valley and AOMB Partner Ernest Baeten of the Netherlands discuss an innovative way in the Dutch patent system to get a peek at what the prior art is going to look like when you submit a provisional or normal patent application. The two explore how this approach can be cost-effective in the patent prosecution process, and possible implications in litigation.
