Considerations For Patenting Advances in Quantum Computing
dougfinke2024-12-05T11:22:50-08:00By Michael J. Attisha, Ph.D. Quantum computing companies regularly file patent applications, but will the patents that result expire before they are commercially relevant, or could they skyrocket in value in a few years? As explained below, this is likely an excellent time to pursue patent protection for quantum technologies. Applicants should, however, present their technology carefully to get the most value out of their patent portfolio. Considerations for drafting a strong quantum patent application are described below. Is Now the Right Time to File? A patent attorney will usually tell you to file early and often. This can be good [...]
