How to register? – Stages of the patent process
PRELIMINARY STAGE – Technical Survey (OPCIONAL)
Before filing your patent application, Ideiativa suggests your clients to carry out a preliminary study of the novelty and inventiveness of the creation that will be presented to INPI. Although this study is not required, nor even required by the INPI, its results may be useful for patent writing to emphasize the really new aspects of creation, in order to obtain adequate protection and minimize the risk of Patentability.
FIRST STEP – Preparation and filing of the patent application before INPI
The preparation of a patent application involves the writing of a descriptive report, claims and summary, as well as the preparation of technical drawings and the preparation of the application and documentation for protocol according to INPI administrative rules. After these preparatory acts, the patent application is deposited with the INPI, initiating the process of patenting the creations.
SECOND STAGE – Publication of the patent application
The patent application is initially kept confidential. After this period the application will be published in the Journal of Industrial Property, INPI’s official publication body. There is also the possibility of requesting the advance publication of the patent application, thus speeding up the processing of the process. With the publication of the application, the opportunity exists for any interested party to offer subsidies to the technical examination (kind of manifestation that can be presented to contest the patent application or to give an opinion on the granting of the privilege).
THIRD STAGE – Technical examination request
The applicant must formally request INPI to examine its patent application (an opportunity to analyze the novelty, inventiveness, possibility of industrial application and the appropriateness of its object to the law).
FOURTH STAGE – Publication of the grant of the patent
After publication and with or without oppositions, INPI examines the application for registration, verifying the availability of the mark required and its adequacy to the law. Concluding for the possibility of granting the registration, INPI publishes the approval of the application in the Revista de Propriedade Industrial. From this moment begins the deadline for the payment of the federal fee corresponding to the validity of the registration for the first 10 (ten) years and the issuance of the certificate of registration.
SIXTH STAGE – Delivery of the patent letter
Once the fees due for the issuance of the certificate have been collected and after proper proof of payment has been obtained, INPI grants the license, closing the administrative process with its delivery.
ANNUITY
The patent holder is subject to payment of an annual fee from the beginning of the third year of the filing date.
