It follows that a granted UK patent can be an extremely valuable asset to any company as it can provide the patent owner with a monopoly in the UK market.<\/h6>\n<p>If you wish to protect your invention in only a few countries in Europe then a National UK Patent Application offers an inexpensive alternative to a European Patent Application designating the UK. Furthermore, since most of the major countries in the world (e.g. USA) accept patent applications in the English language, the text of a UK application can be easily used to file many other applications outside of the UK without any translation costs.<\/p>\n<h6>P&amp;TS can represent you before the UK Intellectual Property Office: Ronan Guirey, is the Director of the P&amp;TS Z\u00fcrich Office, based in Nordstrasse 9, 8006 Z\u00fcrich, and is a qualified UK Patent Attorney. Ronan has worked for many years in the UK representing clients before the UK Intellectual Property Office; in addition to successfully prosecuting many patent applications before the UK Intellectual Property Office to obtain granted UK patents for clients, Ronan also has a wealth of experience in enforcing UK patents against infringers in the UK.<\/h6>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_tabs interval=&#8221;0&#8243; el_class=&#8221;couleurs-cat&#8221;][vc_tab title=&#8221;PATENTABILITY SEARCH&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;c9c08126-3851-8&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;]<div class=\"single_image wpb_content_element align-center  animate  \" data-animation=\"fade-in-from-left\" data-delay=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patentattorneys.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/PTS_tubes_1.png\" class=\"attachment-full\" alt=\"European Patent Application - Brevets Europ\u00e9ens - Europ\u00e4isches Patent\" title=\"symbole_\u00e9tude-de-brevetabilit\u00e9\" \/><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Patentability search<\/h4>\n<p>When an invention is submitted to us, we first start by checking the novelty criterion by means of a patentability search. The aim of this search is to determine precisely the prior art that is closest to the invention. To complete the search, a report is established that contains a list of patents and possible articles published by third parties that raise concerns as to the patentability of the invention, as well as our advice for protection.<\/p>\n<h6>The costs of the patentability search are invoiced according to a flat fee agreed in advance, often around CHF 3\u2019500 + VAT for an invention of average complexity.<\/h6>\n<p>Nearly half of the inventions that are submitted to us are abandoned in the light of the patentability search report, when the inventors become aware that the prospects of obtaining protection do not justify the costs or efforts. In this case, the patentability search that was carried out enables the applicant to achieve considerable cost savings by avoiding the filing of a useless application.<\/p>\n<h6>Should the procedure on the other hand continue with the drafting of a patent application, the patentability search makes it possible to ascertain which characteristics \u2013 in a project that contains several innovations \u2013 can be effectively protected and to optimize the drafting of an application to highlight clearly the differences between the new invention and the documents uncovered by the search.<\/h6>\n<p>The patentability search report is also accompanied by one or several suggestions as to the strategy for protecting the invention, taking into account the commercial prospects of the invention, the uncovered prior art and the applicant\u2019s budget.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;FILING&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1454113135745-1-2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;]<div class=\"single_image wpb_content_element align-center  animate  \" data-animation=\"fade-in-from-left\" data-delay=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patentattorneys.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/PTS_tubes_2.png\" class=\"attachment-full\" alt=\"D\u00e9p\u00f4t d&#039;une demande de brevet\" title=\"PTS_tubes_2\" \/><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Filing<\/h4>\n<p>An application for a UK patent must be made at the UK Intellectual Property Office.

Your patent will remain in force for 20 years from its filing date; however you will need to pay renewal fees every year to the UK Intellectual Property Office to keep the patent in force. The amount of the renewal fees increases every year your patent is \u2018live\u2019. The first renewal fee is due 4 years from the filing date of your application.<\/h6>\n<p>The process for obtaining a UK granted patent usually takes about four years from the date of filing the application. However, if you pay some fees early and reply promptly to letters from the UK Intellectual Property Office, it may be possible to reduce this time to as little as 18 months, if your invention is not a complex one.<\/p>\n<h6>It is possible to apply for a patent without using a professional representative, but it is not recommended.
