Long haul: longest wait for Telford inventors’ patents approved in December

Patent 18

The longest time between a patent being filed and granted in December in Telford was 1,076 days, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The patent application was filed by The Secant Group, LLC for an augmented biocontainment materials and augmented biocontainment enclosures. It was filed on Jan. 17, 2019 before being approved on Dec. 28, 2021.

It was the only patent approved in December from Telford.

Though patents are required for inventions and products, the granting of a patent is not a guarantee for success. Dennis Crouch, co-director of the Center for Intellectual Property & Entrepreneurship, said roughly 50 percent of patents expire prematurely due to costs.
