Patent Registration for Your Invention
Protect a genuinely new invention with a patent. Leegal coordinates the patentability search, drafting and filing process with patent professionals.
What Can Be Patented?
A patent protects a new invention that's novel, involves an inventive step, and is capable of industrial application — ranging from mechanical devices to processes and certain software-related inventions.
The process typically involves a patentability search, drafting a detailed specification, filing the application, and responding to examination reports before a patent is granted.
| Provisional Application | Complete Application |
|---|---|
| Filed to secure an early priority date | Filed with the full, detailed specification |
| Useful when the invention is still being refined | Required to proceed to examination and grant |
| Must be followed by a complete application within 12 months | Starts the formal examination timeline |
| Lower upfront documentation burden | Requires complete technical and legal drafting |
Information Required
Keep these ready before your consultation to speed up the process.

- Diagrams, drawings or flowcharts, where relevant
- Details of the inventor(s) and applicant

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a patent granted?
Patent examination and grant can take several years depending on the field and backlog, though early filing secures your priority date regardless.
What's the benefit of filing a provisional application first?
It secures an early priority date while you finalise the complete specification, useful when the invention is still being refined.
Can I patent a software-related invention?
Certain software-related inventions can be patented if they meet the required technical criteria; our team can help assess this for your specific case.
What happens if my invention isn't novel enough?
The patentability search helps identify this early, so you can decide whether to proceed, refine the invention, or consider other IP protection.
Do I need to keep my invention confidential before filing?
Yes, public disclosure before filing can affect novelty in many cases, so it's best to file before discussing details publicly.
