Patent Registration comes up with a lot of questions, especially for inventors and businesses wanting to protect a genuinely new technical innovation dealing with it for the first time. Here are clear answers to what we're asked most often.
What qualifies as patentable?
An invention generally needs to be novel, involve an inventive step, and have industrial applicability.
How long does patent protection last?
Typically for a fixed term from the filing date, subject to periodic renewal fees.
Can software be patented?
Software-related inventions face additional scrutiny and are patentable only in specific circumstances.
What's the difference between a patent and a copyright?
A patent protects a technical invention; copyright protects the expression of creative or literary work.
Still Have Questions?
Every business situation is a little different, and Patent Registration is no exception. If your case doesn't fit neatly into the questions above, it's worth getting a second opinion before proceeding.
What You'll Typically Need
- Detailed technical description of the invention
- Novelty search confirming no prior existing similar patent
