Paths to protection
Ways to protect your invention
Patents are a way of protecting your inventions. By filing a successful patent you will be awarded a monopoly to exploit your invention for a period of time.
National Patents are the most effective way of defending your invention if you only require protection in a single jurisdiction. If this is not enough for your needs, this country has signed international agreements on patents, which facilitate their internationalization:
EPO (European Patent Organization)
EPO is responsible for granting European Patents.
