Reference: What Is a Child Patent?

Reference information:
Child patents are found in industries ranging from fashion to technology to weaponry.
Applying for a patent is an important mechanism for protecting your original intellectual property. Child patents offer an extension on the first patent application, hopefully providing more thorough controls over development and the responses of your closest competitors.
1. Identification
o Child patents can be seen, somewhat logically, as following what are known as parent patents. They refer primarily to different steps in the patent application process. While the parent patent may be considered the initial patent application, the child patent might be called the continuation or divisional application which follows.
Significance
o The most fundamental concern the child patent addresses is competitor adjustment. When you patent a new product, technology etc., your competitors watch closely and may try to pattern their new developments after your own. The child patent, if done in a timely way, can protect not only the parent patent, but any other improvements or adjustments you need to make to secure that intellectual property and its future forms.
