Imagine this: You've invested months fine-tuning your gizmo, thousands of dollars on patent lawyers, and a gazillion hours crafting the ideal patent application. Then splash  your app is rejected on account of a five-second drawing mistake. I've witnessed it happen far too many times.

The statistic reflects not only lost intellectual property protection but wasted R&D investment, lost market opportunity, and competitive exposure. Overlying these failures is a common denominator—insufficient groundwork in patent searching and application drafting.
