There are multiple benefits of protecting your inventions. One of them and among the most important is the fact that no one else can commercialize the sale of your invention without your consent. You can also publish your invention safely and without the risk that third parties may illegally replicate it and profit from it.
Registering your patent is essential because it protects the invention for a period of 10 to 20 years depending on the type of invention and its registration. During this time, you have complete control over your inventions and the rights attached to them.
By having your registration certificate, you have control over all of your patent rights. When you want to commercialize the sale of your invention, you can negotiate the terms with any company or person without affecting your rights.
This process has several steps that can be summarized as:
- Presentation
- Examination of form and substance
- Request for a report on the state of the art
- Publication
- Issuance of the registration certificate
