What is a patent?

The patent serves to protect technical inventions. The holder of a patent has a limited monopoly of use for the patented invention for the maximum duration of 20 years. Inventions may refer to both products and processes. The prerequisite, however, is always that a "technical problem is solved with technical means".

Protection of objects, such as machines and their parts, arrangements of individual parts, electronic circuits, chemical substances or medicinal products, can be protected by product claims.

There are also process claims. These claims, for example, procedures for the production of a product, working methods, or the use of a product for a specific purpose. No third party may use the protected procedure in relevant country. Without the consent of the patent owner or the patent owner, third parties are prohibited from making, offering, placing on the market or introducing or owning the patented product.

The costs of a patent application are made up of the fees of the patent office and the fees of the lawyer. Our flat fee include the fees of the patent office as well as the attorney fees.
