From giant squid on Saturday intellectual property is protected from the moment you file a patent, ie, you don't have to wait until it's granted to benefit from protection against IP infringement. Upon filing, the status of your patent application is known as "patent pending" and your product is protected. Once patent pending expires, assuming a full patent hasn't been granted yet, you either have to renew the application, or you lose patent pending status along with the protection that goes with it.
