A patent is a legal protection that grants the owner the exclusive right to produce, use, and commercially exploit their invention for a certain period. It safeguards your ideas against copying and adds value to your innovations.
Trademark registration protects your brand’s identity and reputation, preventing unauthorized use by others. It also secures the uniqueness and legal rights of your brand.
A utility model is used for less complex applications and can be obtained more quickly than a patent, though its protection scope is narrower. Patents, on the other hand, require a more thorough examination and provide protection for 20 years.
The patent process can take 1 to 3 years depending on the details of the application, technical examination requirements, and the country’s procedures. DurduPatent simplifies and accelerates this process for you.
Patent application and receipt can vary depending on the complexity of the invention, the number of countries in which the invention must be protected, and the services requested during the application process. There are usually additional costs for each country applied for. Professional consulting firms such as DurduPatent can help you determine the costs of this process.
