National patents
Professional services in Milan for national patent grants
Brevetti Digiovanni Schmiedt has become a point of reference for those who have an invention and wish to protect it with a patent. Based in Milan, we also operate throughout the world granting national and foreign patents.
With regard to Italy, national patents for industrial inventions valid throughout the peninsula are granted by the Italian Patent and Trademark Office (UIBM). You will gain various benefits by patenting your invention: from enriching the wealth of knowledge to the commercial monopoly of the invention for a maximum of twenty years, so that it can be imported and exported throughout the country with exclusive rights.
The benefits of a national patent
We provide all types of consultation to complete the necessary paperwork to obtain national patents, with which you will be able to take advantage of considerable benefits. In particular, a national patent confers twenty-year monopolistic exploitation of the invention before it is opened to free manufacturing and marketing.
With regard to patent protection abroad, there are two conventions that enable a single patent application valid in multiple countries to be filed: the European patent
(via the European Patent Convention or EPC) and the so-called convention on international patents (i.e. Patent Cooperation Treaty or PCT).
Duration of the patent
After the national patent is granted, you will be able to take advantage of its benefits for 20 years from the application filing date. Starting in the fifth year of the patent, you will also have to pay an annual maintenance fee.
Procedural aspects
As for the procedural aspects relating to the granting of national patents, the application is filed electronically with the Italian Patent and Trademark Office (UIBM). Upon receipt of the patent application, UIBM will perform a formal verification to ascertain the completion of all the documents required for filing and the payment of the fees.
The patent application is then forwarded to the European Patent Office (EPO) to conduct a search for prior art, that is, research to establish whether the invention as claimed claims meets, in particular, the requirements of novelty and originality.
