Frequently asked questions
Our accounts describe a pending application as a granted patent. What should I do?
Check the actual rights status and review the accounting inconsistency with your accountant. The patent file and financial records are checked to ensure that they concern the same transaction and right. The tax treatment must be assessed with an accountant using current rules and the actual records.
I want my product trademark in the patent title. Is a technical title more appropriate?
A technical title describing the invention’s subject is more informative for examination. The technical disclosure and the application documents should be consistent. Decisions about the file are made by examining the original submission and the features actually disclosed in the invention.
Part names changed in the patent translation. How should we assess the country files?
Compare the translation with the original technical disclosure and the relevant country document. The country file, application sample and relevant register information are checked together. An action in one country should not be assumed to have the same result elsewhere; local requirements are assessed separately.
