As we know, intellectual property protection takes place through registration. This can only be done if the application is submitted. An application for a patent is accepted or considered invalid after the discussion stages.
Here we will talk about the steps to be taken to consider an application.
Stages of consideration of the application
Preliminary Examination
This is the first phase of the examination, during which the compliance of the application to all requirements (documents, payment receipt, etc.) is checked. In case of finding inaccuracies or defective documents, the applicant is notified about that. In case of failure to resubmit these documents, the application will be deemed invalid.
Expertise essentially
At this stage, it is determined that the invention or utility model meets the patentability requirements.
Publication
If the State Authorized Body clarifies that the application meets all the requirements, they decide to publish the application in the Official Journal and issue a license.
Providing patent
After the publication of an invention in the Official Journal, the next step is to grant a patent. The date of granting the application will be the date of publication of the application.
Denial
If it turns out that the invention does not comply with the requirements, the application will be rejected.
While the licensing department’s examination stages are somewhat different, but they have a general procedure with which we have already been acquainted.
