How long did South Holland inventors wait for patents granted in week ending Aug. 7?

The longest time between a patent being filed and granted in the week ending Aug. 7 in South Holland was 1,202 days, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The patent application was filed by Serritta Radney-Gonzalez for a barbeque cleaning brush apparatus. It was filed on April 19, 2018 before being approved on Aug. 3, 2021.

It was the only patent approved in the week ending Aug. 7 from South Holland.

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.
