Frequently Asked Questions
What is patent registration?
Patent registration is a legal process that grants exclusive rights to inventors or assignees over their inventions, preventing others from using or selling the patented invention without permission for a specified period. It encourages innovation, protects intellectual property, and allows inventors to commercialize their inventions.
How much does it cost?
The expenses associated with patent registration fluctuate based on the specific country and the scope of services required. Usually an offer for patent registration is based on number of claims,number of independent claims, number of pages, technology area, scope of work (search, drafting, filing), size of applicant’s entity etc. Our exceptional service ensures utmost transparency, offering you a competitive and predetermined fee for each application within every country.
What countries can I register my patent in?
With an extensive network of experienced attorneys, we offer comprehensive assistance in trademark registration across more than 180 countries globally.
What are the three criteria for registering a patent?
Your patent must: be innovative, have characteristics or functions not known in this field (Novelty); exceed the general technical level of the field, contain solutions that a specialist with average skills cannot come to (High technical level); be suitable for industrial and commercial use (Utility).
What are the main patent registration stages?
There are 5 main stages - drafing the application, filing the application, passing the examination of the application, registering the patent and securing its annual maintenance.
What is a patentability search?
A patentability search is a search through databases of published documents to see if someone else has already described your invention or something similar to it. When you want to file a patent, it’s necessary to conduct a global patentability search and determine the closest technical solutions, find out how the patented technical solution is different from your invention and define the scope of claims to be applied for examination.
What is PCT?
The PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) serves to streamline the patent application process, making it feasible to apply for patent protection for an invention simultaneously in 157 countries. There are 2 main phases: an international phase and a national phase. Despite it being an application that simplifies the procedure, you will have to pay fees in each applied country. You also need to file a PCT application within 12 months from tthe date of filing the first application and then you will have 30 months to file for the national phases.
