IPR FOR R&D

Many companies choose to consult a patent agency when applying for a new patent. However, a close cooperation with the company’s R&D department is important. Developers are experts within their own field(s). Our patent attorneys have a strong technical background and are experts in IPR. In order to obtain the best protection of an invention, a thorough exchange of information between the developer(s) and the patent attorney is needed. A patent application is often very long. If you provide us with the necessary information, we prepare an application ensuring that you obtain the broadest protection possible. Patents may be obtained for more inventions than you could imagine...

For example, software patents are intensely discussed in the public debate with participation of both the established software industry, various open source environments, politicians and the patent trade. Patenting of software has almost become a monster which one should preferably  keep away from  for ethical reasons. However, in Patentgruppen, we believe that the discussion has completely derailed and instead try to look practically at the problem in the concrete situations which our customers are facing. We view computer-implemented technological inventions in the same way as all other inventions, and in that sense, and with those limitations, they are patentable just like all other technological inventions if they meet the usual requirements for patenting. Please contact one of our consultants to have a completely practical talk about protection of your software solutions.
