What do I need to know about patent application?

It is crucial that you do not disclose your invention publicly before filing a patent application. Any disclosure (conference, exhibition, offer, etc.) can anticipate the novelty of your invention and prevent its patentability. Therefore, always file a patent first and then publicly present your invention.

A patent can protect any new and inventive technical solution to a technical problem.

Both technical documents describing the subject matter to be protected and formal documents must be submitted to the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, and the corresponding official fees must be paid.

The invention must be described in detail in the technical documents so that a person skilled in the art can understand it. Additionally, claims must be formulated. These claims precisely describe the subject matter for which protection is sought in often complex language.

The preparation of technical documents is a complicated task that must be carried out with precision and the necessary knowledge in the field of patents. A poorly drafted application is often irreparable.

Furthermore, the application must be as complete as possible at the time of filing, as it is not possible to add information later.

Typically, it takes three to four years for a patent to be granted. However, from the filing date, you can disclose your invention and are provisionally protected. Additionally, it is possible to expedite the process if necessary.
