FAQs about Patents

The patent owner has the exclusive right to prevent or stop others from commercially exploiting the patented invention. Patient protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, imported or sold by others without the patent owner’s consent.

The protection is granted for a limited period, generally 20 years from the filing date of the application.

Patent rights are usually enforced in a court on the initiative of the right owner. However, the main responsibility for monitoring, identifying and acting against infringers of a patent lies with the patent owner.

Patent information commonly refers to the information found in patent applications and granted patents. This information may include bibliographic data about the inventor and patent applicant or patent holder, a description of the claimed invention and related developments in the field of technology, and a list of claims indicating the scope of patent protection sought by the applicant.

Patent documents contain technological information that is often not divulged in any other form of publication, covering practically every field of technology. They have a relatively standardized format and are classified according to technical fields to make identifying relevant documents even easier. 
The information contained in patent documents can be very useful to researchers, entrepreneurs, and many others, helping them:
• avoid duplication of research and development work.
• build on and improve existing products or processes.
• assess the state-of-the-art in a specific technological field, e.g., to get an idea of the latest developments in this field.
• evaluate the patentability of inventions, in particular the novelty and inventiveness of inventions.
• identify inventions protected by patents, to avoid infringement and seek opportunities for licensing.
• monitor activities of potential partners and competitors both within the country and abroad.
• identify market niches or discover new trends in technology or product development at an early stage. 

Patent applications and related documents are published by national and regional patent offices.
