I have a patent related question. Our patent was granted for issuance but now my patent attorney is asking if I want to go forward with a second “continuation” patent. I’m curious to hear from anyone with experience and see if it really makes sense to go after a second patent. For background info the patent is utility/technology in eCommerce space. So far Ive put together notes for pros/cons:
Pros:
Thank you.

Pros:
- Added “insurance” that helps me protect my intellectual property
- Can add additional claims if I see something similar in the marketplace
- Even if I see something similar I cant see their code so it is really that useful?
- I have to search for other patents online and its a long/difficult process while I could be out working on my idea
- Expensive – this money could be used to keep our server running.
Thank you.
