An innovation patent is generally quicker and less expensive to obtain than a standard patent. It may be the best option in situations where the invention is a simple improvement or modification of an existing product or process, as in the case of the user-friendly whiteboard eraser based on new microfibers. Additionally, the innovation patent has a shorter lifespan (8 years compared to 20 years for a standard patent), which may be sufficient for the inventor in this case.
