1. INTRODUCTION

Patent attorneys are worthy partners who help you turn your hard-earned inventions into powerful ownership rights.

Everyday new products are created and find their way into our daily lives. Many of these products are protected with a patent, which outlaws and shuts out unscrupulous imitations. To be precise, a patent means "a patent right", and there are three other similar rights as follows: a utility model right, design right and trademark right.

A patent right, utility model right, design right and trademark right - collectively called industrial property rights - only accrue upon registration with the Patent Office, which follows the filing of an application and is conditional on the outcome of an examination of the application by the Patent Office. (Utility models are only subject to a formality examination.)

This procedure can be undertaken by the inventor, but, in view of its complexity, it is advisable that it be left to a patent attorney. Upon being commissioned, patent attorneys carry out all procedural tasks, from the filing of an application to the acquisition of a right on behalf of their clients.

Even after the acquisition of a right, they can still give advice on matters such as a patenting strategy and research & development.

Patent attorneys are experts in the industrial property system who work in both local and international settings.
