To find out if your idea is patentable, IpIpIp offers you a quick and free answer to this quizz .
Before filing your patent, it is important to do a prior art search to verify that no one had the idea before you. IpIpIp can take care of the prior art search for you.
The patent is a complex legal document, and its drafting requires the intervention of an expert to ensure that the patent application is accepted. A first one-hour interview will allow you to contact your IPipIP expert and present your invention. He will then take care of drafting the patent that will best protect your invention.
You or your expert collects the various elements of the file (the patent, the request for grant, the designation of the inventor, etc.) and sends them to the INPI.
The INPI will examine the application and draw up a search report to assess its patentability. At the end of this procedure, which takes an average of 12 months, the patent is published and then granted.
Once the patent has been filed, a technological watch must be maintained in order to monitor similar patent applications and be able to challenge them. You can also choose to extend your patent internationally.
To protect your invention you can file a patent application with the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI).

Mais êtes vous sûr qu’elle peut faire l’objet d’un brevet ?
Pour être brevetable une idée doit correspondre à une solution technique, et pas juste à un concept.
Elle doit aussi être nouvelle et inventive, et donc ne correspondre à rien de ce qui a été commercialisé ou même divulgué par le passé.
Vous avez un doute ?
