No matter if you are a large international company or just an individual entrepreneur, protecting your patentable inventions and proprietary technology should be a top priority. Without proper patent protection, technology improvements may be compromised, resulting in lost revenue and opportunities.<\/p>\n
We have a specialist team of patent agents who advise on, search and prepare applications in Israel, USA, and internationally. They can handle all of\u00a0 the various matters that can arise in the development and ownership of a patent portfolio, including searches, application preparation, litigation and licensing. Filing patent applications in several countries broadens your market control, but may be expensive. You can preserve your right to file foreign patent applications for a period of time if you do not publicly disclose, publish, or sell your invention before filing a U.S. or Israeli patent application. International patent applications may be filed within 1 year after your first application on the invention, if desired. Some countries do not allow the 1-year delay, and you must file in those countries before any public disclosure if you need patent protection in these countries. Many countries have signed the PCT, which allows up to 30 months from the priority date to file applications in signatory countries. It is advisable to consult with PatNetPro-fessionals to discuss your geographic filing needs as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
At PatNetPro, we do not any charge service fees for:<\/p>\n

Granting<\/strong> : When a patent application meets all the requirements, the Patent\u00a0 Office registers it. Opposition<\/strong>: If the application complies with all formal requirements, the Patent Office makes it public. This gives an opportunity to anyone who believes that the new patent violates any of their rights to file an opposition. The applicant must respond showing that the opposition has no basis, and the registration process must continue.<\/p>\n Refusal<\/strong>: The Patent Office issues a resolution explaining the legal reasons why the application was denied.<\/p>\n Reconsideration and appeal<\/strong>: The Patent Office may grant or deny registration of a new patent. In either case, the dissatisfied party can file a reconsideration or an appeal in order to change the decision. There will be no certainty of patent applications if unresolved resources are pending.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How do I ensure Confidentiality? ” icon_color=”#0c71c3″ _builder_version=”3.0.106″ open=”off” body_font=”|300|||||||”]<\/p>\n Awareness of Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n Companies should establish procedures to ensure that all product development is referred to a senior official within the company. A useful way of doing so is to make an invention disclosure form available to employees and to ensure that any potential inventions within an offering are considered for patentability prior to release.<\/p>\n Innovation and Confidentiality<\/strong><\/p>\n Controls must be in place to ensure that any innovation is maintained confidential until an application has been filed. Employees should be made aware not to disclose or misuse innovation. There should be a sense of awareness among employees, and innovation should be restricted on a \u201cneed to know\u201d basis. Companies should take care in releasing details<\/p>\n of innovation outside of the company. The company should keep detailed records of the development of new products or technology.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Do you need Resources?” icon_color=”#0c71c3″ _builder_version=”3.0.106″ open=”off” body_font=”|300|||||||”]<\/p>\n Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nOffice action<\/strong>: If the Patent Office does not have the correct information or lacks documents in the application to proceed with the process, it makes a request for information. The applicant needs to respond to this request.<\/p>\n\n
