Patent research

Patent examinations with a patent attorney

Before starting the production of a given product, device or instrument, make sure that it does not violate foreign exclusive rights. Therefore, we propose 3 types of tests that you can perform through our office, which will allow you to fully visualize the legal and patent situation for your product (see the video created by our patent attorney):

Patent purity tests for a given technical solution

Aim to determine whether this research solution will not infringe on foreign exclusive rights in the territory of Poland (or a selected territory). including:

  • inventions and utility models protected by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, and inventions submitted under the international PCT procedure, under the European patent procedure, which are at the stage of consideration,
  • rights from registration of industrial designs protected in Poland.

When conducting such research, a specific solution with specific features is examined – it does not have to exist, but you must provide us with specific information.

Such research will allow you to answer the question „Can I produce my solution without any problems?„.

Testing the patentability of a given technical solution

consists in a preliminary determination based on patent databases whether your technical solution will meet the patentability conditions, including:

  • having novelties on a global scale on the day before the patent application. This novelty is harmed by all information related to the tested solution made publicly available in the world, including: published patents and patent applications, technical and scientific literature, online advertisements, fairs, exhibitions, etc.
  • inventive level, i.e. determining whether a given technical solution does not clearly result from previously known solutions for a specialist in a given field of technology,
  • industrial applicability (repeatable achievement of the same effects on an industrial scale).

During research, a specific solution is examined, it must have technical documentation with specific data and information.

Such research will allow you to answer the question „Can I easily protect my solution as an invention or utility model?„.

Research on the state of the art of a given technical solution

They constitute the basis for developing your own new technical solutions, which will later be subject to patent protection. To conduct such research, we only need a diagram or outline of a given solution, and based on the results obtained, you can develop your own solution, which will be significantly different from the provided solutions. You can protect your new, developed solution as an invention or utility model.

During the research, we only examine the design assumptions, you do not have to provide specific information.

Such a study will allow you to answer the question „What solutions are protected in a selected field of technology?”

If you need the results of professional research conducted by patent attorneys, please contact our office. Our patent attorneys are here to help you with any issue related toconducting patent research, from advice on selecting the type of research to suit your needs to providing guidance on your new solution. Our advocates will support you in the process of protecting your product.

Conducting patent research in our patent office

Remember that even though we come from Rzeszów, we operate globally. We cooperate with clients from all over Poland and also serve foreign clients. Work mainly takes place online.

  1. Patent examination inquiry

When sending us an inquiry regarding patent research, we will provide all information regarding research costs, determining the research territory, as well as the form of the research report.

  1. Patent research

After concluding the contract, we start carrying out the research. Depending on the scope and type of research, the work lasts up to 30 days.

  1. Research results

After completing the research, we will provide you with a report in the form you choose.

Patent examinations for trademarks and industrial designs

Remember that you can also conduct broadly understood patent research for other forms of intellectual property protection. For trademarks and industrial designs, our patent attorneys carry out the so-called registrability test, which will determine the possibility of registering your trademarks and industrial designs!

Częste pytania dot. badań patentowych

Do przeprowadzenia badań potrzebujemy: - abyś określił rodzaj i zakres badań; - W zależności od rodzaju badań dokumentację Twojego rozwiązania; - W przypadku badan czystości patentowej: terytorium; Na podstawie w/w informacji przekażemy: - Umowę i zlecenie; - Wyniki badań w wybranej formie;
Tak, podczas zapytania wskaż nazwę firmy, a my przekażemy wszystkie rozwiązania jakie dana firma zgłosiła do ochrony.
Niestety nie, publikacja zgłoszenia wynalazku i wzoru użytkowego następuje po 18 miesiącach od daty zgłoszenia i w tym okresie zgłoszone rozwiązanie nie jest ujawnione do wiadomości publicznej /chyba, że Zgłaszający opublikuje taka informacje np. na swojej stronie www/. Jeżeli rozwiązanie jest już opublikowane masz 100% gwarancji w przypadku ustalenia jego statusu.
Tak, badania pozwolą ustalić na jakim etapie rozpatrywania jest dane rozwiązanie, datę wygaśnięcia, a w większości przypadków datę wniesienia opłaty /czy wynalazek jest utrzymywany w mocy przez właściciela/.
