Step by step, with method.
Each step documented, with clear deadlines and responsibilities from first contact.
Patentability study
We search prior art to confirm the invention is new, inventive and applicable.
Technical drafting
Descriptive report, strategic claims and drawings. Drafting defines the breadth of protection.
Filing
Submission to INPI or via PCT for simultaneous international protection within 18 months.
Publication after 18 months
The application becomes public. From then on, any third party may submit observations to the examination.
Technical examination
The INPI assesses novelty and inventive step. We respond to office actions and adjust claims.
Grant
Patent granted. Protection valid for 20 years for invention patents and 15 years for utility models, counted from filing.
Every invention has an exact moment to become a right. Before it, it is just an idea.
Common questions in this practice.
No. An Invention Patent requires novelty, inventive step and industrial application, with 20-year protection. A Utility Model is a functional improvement to a known object, with 15-year protection and a swifter examination.
