A patent gives you a temporary monopoly that lasts 20 years over a new invention which involves an inventive step and it is capable of industrial application.
You can file an Italian national application at the UIBM (Ufficio Italiano Brevetti e Marchi), an European Application at the EPO (European Patent Office) or an international application at the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office). This is not all. Thanks to the collaboration with our foreign Agents located all over the globe, we can even file a patent application directly in at the Country you are interested in.
Just like for trademarks, the protection of a patent is territorial, that means that it is limited to the territory in which the patent has been granted.
If you don’t know the subject, it may be difficult to file a patent application or obtain the grant of a patent.
It is necessary to write both the description of the object of the patent and the claims in a professional way so to identify clearly the scope of protection.
We will assist you during the whole procedure, starting from the prior art search and the application phase to the protection of your innovation against infringements.
