Whether you work for a multinational company, a start-up or a
university, or you are an independent inventor, a knowledge of the
patent system is essential in order to understand how best to
protect your inventions.
If you are new to the patent system it might be hard to
understand what a patent actually is, how you might get one and the
rights that a patent confers.
We have written a handy brochure to provide advice on the key
criteria an invention must satisfy for a patent to be granted and
the roles that Patent Attorneys and Patent Offices play in this
process. Click on the link below for further information and
examples of some simple mechanical and chemical inventions. The
principles of the patent system described here apply to all forms
of invention, whether it is a chemical, mechanical, electrical,
biotech or software invention, or indeed an invention in any
technical field.
