What happens if my invention is not patentable?

It's often difficult to provide a detailed patentability assessment without incurring significant time and expense, which is why we've created this two-step system. During the initial consultation, your patent professional will provide you with options for how to proceed with protecting your invention. However, if the patent professional believes that your invention is obviously not patentable, you are not obligated to purchase the Patent Filing Package. You can revise your invention or even take your LegalZoom materials to another patent attorney for a second opinion.
