Patenting process
Clients
When a technical solution relates to a design or device, it is advisable to patent the object in the form of a utility model. To do this, the developer or author applies for registration at the patent office and submits an application. Then, the documents and the claimed model undergo a two-step expert examination, which results in a decision to grant or refuse to grant a document of protection. The received patent will allow to establish the priority date, confirm the powers of the patentee to use, own and dispose of the rights to the utility model.
