International Patent
Get a patent for your brand or product anywhere in the world.
Do you have an earth-shattering idea or product? Taking it global is your next big move. But before you do, securing patent protection in the countries where you plan to operate is really important, as there is no such thing as a worldwide or global patent. This step can seem overwhelming but don’t worry. We’re here to help you navigate the complexities of international patent systems. Our patent attorneys are experienced in international Intellectual Property law and are here to walk you through the process.
Protecting your IP with a patent is just good business. Statistics suggest that companies who protect their IP see better resilience and success.
What are patents, and doI need one?
A patent is a government-granted monopoly right for new ideas that can be legally enforced for a device, method, substance or process. Patent protection grants inventors and patentees exclusive rights, ensuring others cannot use, make, or sell their inventions without permission.
Patent attorneys navigate the international patent system to secure intellectual property, enabling inventors to benefit from their ideas and maintain a competitive advantage. If you’ve created a unique product, process, or innovation, seeking patent protection as soon as possible is essential to prevent unauthorised use and ensure proper credit. For those looking to use or sell their invention overseas, we assist with filing international patent applications to extend your protection globally.
To obtain a patent for your invention, it must meet the following criteria:
- New: It cannot be the same as something already in existence; it must have new or novel features, even if only minor.
- Inventive: The differences your invention has should be meaningful and provide some benefit over what has gone before.
- Useful: It must serve a specific purpose or be applicable in a particular industry.
The following items and concepts cannot be patented:
- Humans or the biological processes involved in their creation
- Artistic works
- Mathematical formulas or theories, unless applied in practice
- Plans, strategies, or other purely intellectual processes
