Benefits of a patent
Requirements for obtaining a patent
- Novelty – your invention must not yet be publicly known.
- Inventive step – your idea must not be obvious to someone skilled in the field.
- Industrial applicability – your invention must be technically and practically operable.
National, EU or worldwide protection?
A patent is a territorial right and only offers protection where it has been filed and granted—whether nationally or under a broader (international) system. The optimal filing strategy depends on the technical field of your invention, your long-term ambitions and your budget. Through our extensive global network of agents, DOGIO provides guidance and advice on securing protection both at home and abroad.
