Mistake 1: Failing to Conduct a Patent Search Skipping the patent search can result in applying for an invention that isn’t novel, leading to rejection.
Mistake 2: Missing Deadlines Missing deadlines for filing the complete application or responding to requests from IP Australia can lead to the abandonment of your application.
Mistake 3: Incorrect Claims Vague or overly broad claims can make your patent vulnerable to challenges. Work with a patent attorney to draft precise claims.
