related patent applications are those filed after an initial application is filed but before it is issued as a patent and that involve similar or related technologies. for example , an inventor may come up with an improvement to technology disclosed in an earlier filed application. instead of filing a new patent applications for the improvement, the patent laws allow the the inventor to supplement the earlier application by filing a continuation in part cip. a cip is just one of the several types of related applications.
