Lloyd & Mousilli is a boutique law firm specializing in intellectual property and technology law. We help protect creative and technical work.
Filing a patent is a race. The U.S. follows a "first-to-file" system, meaning the first person to file a patent application gets the rights—not necessarily the first to invent. If you have a new idea, act fast. #PatentStrategy #Innovation

Startups, take note. A strong patent portfolio can be a game-changer. Securing patent protection early helps prevent competitors from copying your innovation and increases your company’s valuation. Don’t wait until it’s too late. #PatentLaw #Startups #IPProtection

Not all inventions qualify for a patent. To be patentable, an invention must be novel, non-obvious, and useful. If your idea builds on existing technology, a thorough patent search is critical before filing. #PatentEligibility #Inventors

Patents expire, but strategy matters. Utility patents last 20 years, while design patents last 15 years. Knowing when and how to extend protection through improvements or trade secrets can keep your competitive edge. #PatentLifespan #IPManagement

International protection requires strategy. A U.S. patent only protects your invention domestically. If you plan to operate globally, consider filing under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) to secure rights in multiple countries. #GlobalPatents #PatentLaw

The patent process is complex, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. From filing strategy to enforcement, having the right legal team ensures your innovations stay protected. Reach out to discuss how we can help. #PatentExperts #LloydMousilli

Patent enforcement is just as important as filing. A patent is only valuable if you can enforce it. Monitoring the market for infringement and taking legal action when necessary helps protect your rights. #PatentInfringement #LegalEnforcement

Software patents are complex but possible. While abstract ideas cannot be patented, software that demonstrates a concrete technological improvement may qualify. Proper drafting is key to success. #SoftwarePatents #TechLaw

Patents can be a valuable business asset. Many companies leverage their patent portfolios for licensing deals, investment opportunities, or competitive market positioning. Protecting innovation is more than just legal—it’s a business strategy. #PatentMonetization #BusinessGrowth

A provisional patent application buys you time. Filing one secures an early priority date and gives you 12 months to refine your invention before submitting a full utility patent application. This can be a strategic advantage. #ProvisionalPatent #IPStrategy

True or False: Registering a copyright is mandatory for protection. 🤔 Answer: False. Copyright exists automatically upon creation, but registration is essential for enforcement. #CopyrightBasics

I've written a post for Alt Legal on the Trademark Identification Manual, including several tips and tricks on how to best use it. I hope this will help people find IDs for their apps that save them from having to pay $550 a class for non-ID manual IDs!
