Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary: What It Means for U.S. Patents and Innovation

Patenting inventions can be a valuable way for business owners to control the use of their inventions and make money, but did you know you could lose your patent rights? Complications in the application and use process can create problems that business owners who are not familiar with intellectual property laws struggle to resolve.

How Might You Lose Patent Rights?
