Why get a Patent Pending Number for your Food?
The intention is not necessarily to “protect” your food, but rather to give it a sense of intrigue – if customers are intrigued, they will order and try it. Market your “Patent Pending Burger”, or a “Patent Pending Tenderised Steak”. A “Patent Pending Fish Sauce” would certainly find its way into my basket.
Even if your food is not “new”, get a Design Pending Number for the “shape” of your food, and use this creatively – the aim is to “stand out” in a world of “me-too” restaurants and food offerings:
Marking your food “Patent Pending” is easy
Describe its new composition or cooking method, and file a provisional patent application using our provisional patent drafting and filing guide. You can either file through GlobalIPCo for $199 or through Iptica for $99. Both systems will send you a Patent Pending Number within a day, entitling you to stamp your food “Patent Pending” worldwide for 12 months. You will not be the first to do this, the great chefs – Alain Passard, Martin Berasategui, Michel Bras – all patented their legendary creations.
The GlobalIPCo Patent, Design and Trademark filing system is safe and affordable. All applications are filed by S&Z Patent Attorneys, and issuance of Patent or Design Pending Numbers is guaranteed. Use our free Patent Template to describe your food. Within a short time, your food could be “Patent Pending”.
