FAQ
01What is a patent?
A patent is an intellectual property right that protects an invention. It gives the owner exclusive rights to produce, use, sell or distribute the invention for a specific period, typically 20 years, in exchange for public disclosure of the invention.
02What types of inventions can be patented?
You can patent any invention that provides a technical solution to a problem, whether it relates to products, processes, or methods. The invention must be new, involve an inventive step, and be capable of industrial application.
03What are the benefits of your patent registration services?
Our patent registration service offers personalized consultancy, professional drafting, and complete application management, saving you time and resources. We help you obtain national or European protection, ensuring exclusive rights and safeguarding your invention.
04What conditions must an invention meet to be patentable?
To obtain a patent, an invention must meet three key criteria: novelty (it must not have been disclosed to the public before filing), inventive step (it must not be obvious to a person skilled in the field), and industrial applicability (it must be usable or manufacturable in a specific industry).
05How long is an invention protected by a patent?
The standard protection offered by a patent is 20 years from the filing date, provided that annual maintenance fees are paid. After this period, the patent expires and the invention becomes publicly available for unrestricted use.
06What is a provisional patent application?
O cerere provizorie este o opțiune care permite protecția temporară a unei invenții, oferind un termen de 12 luni pentru a depune cererea completă. Aceasta este utilă pentru a-ți rezerva drepturile în timp ce finalizezi detaliile tehnice sau analizezi potențialul comercial al invenției.
07Can I patent an idea?
Ideas alone cannot be patented. To be eligible, an invention must be turned into a specific technical solution, described in sufficient detail, and meet the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability.
08What is the difference between a national patent (OSIM) and a European patent (EPO)?
A national patent provides protection only within the country where it is registered, while a European patent, granted by the European Patent Office (EPO), can cover all member states of the European Patent Convention. A European patent uses a single application procedure, but once granted, it must be validated in the selected countries.
09How long does the patent registration process take?
The patent registration process can take between 2 and 5 years, depending on the complexity of the invention and the workload of the patent office. The duration includes formal verification, technical examination, and any corrections or oppositions.
10What rights does a patent offer?
A patent grants the holder exclusive rights, such as preventing others from producing, selling, or using the invention without permission. These rights can be used to license the invention to third parties, generating additional revenue for the holder.
