Start protecting your invention. Tell us what you have built and our patent attorneys will come back with the right route and a full cost breakdown.
Let our expert review your file and get back to you the same day.
Share the title and field of your invention. Nothing you send is disclosed to third parties.
Our patent attorneys review novelty and inventive step, then tell you whether a patent or a utility model fits.
We draft the specification and claims, file the application and track every deadline for you.
The invention must not have been disclosed anywhere in the world before the filing date.
It has to go beyond what a person skilled in the field would arrive at obviously.
It must be capable of being produced or used in industry.
A substantive-examination patent typically runs three to four years to grant. A utility model is much faster, usually within a year. Protection starts from the filing date in both cases.
A patent requires novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability, and is examined substantively. A utility model does not require inventive step and is granted faster, with a shorter term of protection.
It is strongly advised. A prior-art search shows whether your invention is already published, which saves the filing cost of an application that could not succeed.
No. Patent rights are territorial. For protection in other countries you file through the PCT or the EPO, or directly with each national office, within the priority period.
Send us the invention and we will tell you which route protects it best. The first assessment is free.
