The results are consulted with the applicant or inventor, respectively. We then draft and file the basic patent application for a single country, usually at SK IPO or CZ IPO.<\/p>\n<p>We then have 12 months from the priority date of basic application to file European patent application for 38 countries (directly at EPO, Munich) or international PCT application for 153 countries (directly at WIPO, Geneva) \u2013 the priority date of such applications is the same as that of the basic application. If lesser territorial scope is desired, we can only file national applications in those 12 months \u2013 for example, only in Czech Republic or USA.<\/p>\n<p>Claiming priority means that that, legally, the date of filing of the subsequent application is the same as that of the basic application.

The basic international act is Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property from 1883, where the signatories sign up for patent protection. The patent law has subsequently developed into current complex and complicated form with tens of variously set deadlines, complex case-law and various approaches to assessment of inventive step. The language of patent claims, where a sentence can run for a whole page, may appear weird to a layman.\n\nAlmost everywhere, the applicant needs not to be represented before the national office in the country of his seat or address. Therefore, the applicant can draft and file the application himself or herself. Such do-it-yourself applications usually contain mistakes which cannot be subsequently remedied by the professional representatives. In case the applicant intends to obtain patent protection abroad, we strongly recommend that the basic national application is already drafted by the patent attorney, since the costs of subsequent \u201cimprovement\u201d of application abroad, if it is even possible, are much higher than the costs saved on the representation on the national level.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- cell_inner --><\/div><!-- cell --><\/div><!-- port --><\/section><section id=\"bt_bb_section6a28f32dbfe73\" class=\"bt_bb_section bt_bb_layout_boxed_1200 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_top_spacing_medium bt_bb_bottom_spacing_normal\"  data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_port\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell_inner\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row\"  data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row_holder\" ><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xl-12 bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal\"  data-width=\"12\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_color_scheme_\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content_inner\"><header class=\"bt_bb_headline bt_bb_color_scheme_14 bt_bb_dash_none bt_bb_size_medium bt_bb_align_inherit\" style=\"; --primary-color:#1a243f; --secondary-color:#B07C4B;\" data-bt-override-class=\"{&quot;bt_bb_align_&quot;:{&quot;current_class&quot;:&quot;bt_bb_align_inherit&quot;,&quot;def&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;xl&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;}}\"><h3 class=\"bt_bb_headline_tag\"><span class=\"bt_bb_headline_content\"><span>FAQ<\/span><\/span><\/h3><\/header><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_medium\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion bt_bb_color_scheme_14 bt_bb_style_filled bt_bb_shape_square\" style=\"; --accordion-primary-color:#1a243f; --accordion-secondary-color:#B07C4B;\" data-closed=\"closed\"><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion_item\"><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion_item_title\">Our device is sold in Slovakia for two years and we are starting the sales abroad, too.

Before making public \u2013 that is, before the first publication or first sale \u2013 it is necessary to file at least one priority patent application or utility model application. The publication of the invention, even when done by the inventor himself or herself, is an obstacle to novelty and without novelty the patent cannot be obtained. It may happen that the particular patent office will overlook the information about previous publication or sale, and the patent will thus be erroneously granted, but later \u2013 especially in case of litigation for patent infringement \u2013 the patent can be cancelled if it is proven that it has been part of the prior state of the art at the time of application.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_small\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion_item\"><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion_item_title\">My patent is granted at SK IPO. I have paid the registration fee and the annuity fee for third to seventh year. I have now found out that my patent is invalid due to non-payment of annuity fees, but SK IPO did not send me another invoice or notice to pay the annuities. What should I do?<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion_item_content\"><div  class=\"bt_bb_text\" ><\/p>\n<p>SK IPO has not erred by not sending the invoice or notice, it is not obliged to do so. The patent owner or his or her representative must keep an eye on the deadlines. If you missed the deadline for payment of annuities, you can still pay them in 6 month grace period with 100% surcharge. This holds for Czech Republic, too. 6 month grace period follows from Paris Convention and therefore holds in almost all countries in the world; however, the surcharges differ. For example, in Germany it is fixed fee of 50,- \u20ac. Most patents are expired due to non-payment of fees before reaching maturity of 20 years. In most countries, annuity fees are paid each year. In USA, they are paid after 3,5 years, 7,5 years and 11,5 years.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_bottom_spacing_small\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion_item\"><div class=\"bt_bb_accordion_item_title\">I have found a product in Australia which is not sold in Europe by anyone.
