FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions, or contact us for more details.
How long does it take to get a patent?
The timeline varies by jurisdiction. Swiss patents typically take 2-3 years, European patents 3-5 years, and PCT applications allow you to delay national phase entry for up to 30 months.
What can be patented?
Patents protect technical inventions that are new, involve an inventive step, and are industrially applicable. This includes devices, processes, compositions of matter, and technical improvements.
How much does a patent cost?
Costs vary significantly depending on complexity and geographic scope. We provide transparent fee estimates upfront and discuss cost-effective strategies tailored to your budget and business needs.
Should I file before or after disclosing my invention?
Always file before any public disclosure. Unlike some countries, Europe has no grace period—any prior disclosure can invalidate your patent. Contact us immediately if you have concerns.
What is a prior art search?
A prior art search identifies existing patents, publications, and products similar to your invention. This helps assess patentability and shapes an effective claim strategy.
