How long did Rowland Heights inventors wait for patents granted in December?

Patent 5

The longest time between a patent being filed and granted in December in Rowland Heights was 1,545 days, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The patent application was filed by Vaccitech, Inc. for compositions and methods for vaccination against influenza. It was filed on Sept. 14, 2017 before being approved on Dec. 7, 2021.

It was the only patent approved in December from Rowland Heights.

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.
