Estimate for a patent application 24/7

A patent protects the invention’s technical implementation.

• A patent can be granted to a product, device, and/or method that is novel, has an inventive step, and solves a technical problem.
• The object of a patent can also be computer software when the software is a part of a technical solution and in addition is novel and has an inventive step.

Patent protection is based on patent claims and the description and drawings provided to interpret them. Therefore, it’s important that the invention has been defined accurately, taking into account the inventive details, the technical environment and other elements that affect the overall implementation of the invention.

A patent application must be filed before publishing the invention.

The costs of drafting and filing a patent application consist of defining the invention, drafting the application, the official fees of the patent office, and our expert’s service.

A good thing to note is that after filing the patent application the patent office examines the invention’s patentability and typically issues office actions. Reporting and filing responses to these office actions will incur additional costs. After the patent has been granted, possible oppositions (attempts of a third party to cancel the patent) may raise the total cost of the patent. Exchange rates and changes in the official fees can also cause additional costs.
