Securing a patent for cancer-related innovations involves several steps. First, a detailed documentation of the invention must be created, including experimental data and potential applications. Next, a patent search should be conducted to ensure the innovation does not infringe on existing patents. Following this, a patent application is submitted to the relevant patent office, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The application undergoes a rigorous examination process, which may involve back-and-forth communication with patent examiners to address any concerns or objections.
