Patent your IDEA, don't let anyone copy you

The patent is a title, much like a property deed, that certifies the inventor as the owner of the invention. This ownership prevents other individuals or companies from having the right to commercialize the patented invention. Inventor, it's important for you to know that these rights are limited in time.

While it is true that being the holder of invention patents can leave you somewhat at ease, it is also true that it has some associated risks. If you take a look at the official information, you will be able to identify that in the description of your patented invention, sufficient information must be provided for an expert to execute it. This, of course, reveals relevant secrets about your invention or product.

That's right! When you get the patent for your invention, you will have a period of approximately 3 years to exploit the patent. Of course, it can be marketed by you or through a company or person to whom you give these rights. EYE, that's why it is so important before protecting your invention, have a prototype, otherwise, you will have to manufacture your working prototype and seek financing against the clock.

This is the fundamental point of patents on inventions. The claims are the differential characteristics of your product. When analyzing your competitors' patents, you should pay special attention to these arguments. In Prototecnica, we tabulate these characteristics and thus find "gaps" or opportunities to innovate in the prototype.

Like any administrative procedure, there are very well defined deadlines and steps. The good news is that they are all public, so we will have the opportunity to do it ourselves if we think we are capable. The average time is usually between 12 and 36 months. More than the time that elapses from the time it is filed until the patent is obtained for an invention, I recommend you pay the greatest attention to the process of background study and prototyping. These stages are the key to the process.
