December: longest patent process for Agoura Hills inventors

Patent 17

The longest time between a patent being filed and granted in December in Agoura Hills was 456 days, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The patent application was filed by Chatsworth Products, Inc. for a vertical exhaust duct for electronic equipment enclosure. It was filed on Sept. 28, 2020 before being approved on Dec. 28, 2021.

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.

There were two patents granted for Agoura Hills inventors in December.
