As a lawyer, I can advise you that in order to protect an invention in the United States, you can obtain a patent. A patent is a legal document that gives you the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, or importing your invention into the US for a period of time, typically 20 years from the date of filing.
To obtain a patent, your invention must be novel, non-obvious, and useful. It must also be described in sufficient detail in your patent application to enable someone skilled in your field of invention to recreate it. This requires preparing and filing a patent application with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which is a complex and highly technical process.
It is highly recommended that you engage the services of a patent attorney or patent agent to help you with the preparation, filing, and prosecution of your patent application. This will significantly increase your chances of success and ensure that your patent application meets all the legal requirements.
It is important to note that obtaining a patent does not guarantee that your invention will be successful or profitable, as it is up to you to commercialize and exploit your invention. Additionally, patents are subject to limitations and exceptions, including the possibility of being challenged or invalidated by a third party.
In summary, to protect your new invention in the United States, obtaining a patent is the most effective way to do so. However, this process is highly technical and complex, and it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a patent attorney or agent to ensure that your patent application meets all legal requirements.
