Hi dear fastlaners,
I'm an app developer and we have 1 published app that's going thru the normal patent process so i have some experience here. We didn't seek any external funding for this app.
However a second app, that's i've been doing R&D for about over a year and drawing out the functionality and wireframing and is in a state where develoeprs can start creating. We would want to patent this application and it's functionality and uniqueness that seperates it from others in it's niche.
What i'm trying to understand and get my head around is
1) Do we put together a MVP with some graphics designed (some graphics form part of the uniqueness of this app) and file for a patent
2) Conduct out own patent research to see if there's anything like it and work out what is still patentable and push forward with development
3) get a provisional patent on what we have currently (concept art, written out user cases, UX/UI/
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, tips and actions. Also if anyone has dealt with a good IP lawyer that could work with overseas clients (we're in New Zealand) that would be very helpful also.
Thanks,
Art
