Applications for IP Protection | Drafting and Submitting
What does the preparation of applications for IP protection consist of?
In order to obtain protection on an invention, distinctive sign, or industrial design, it is necessary to file applications for IP protection (patent, utility model, trademark, or industrial design) before the relevant authority for industrial property protection. We at BV&Ko have prepared detailed information on the different types of applications for the protection of industrial property. In the first place in the process of protection of intellectual or industrial property remains the question of choosing an object, which is not always an easy task. In addition, the preparation and filing of each type of application take time, and the preparation has its own specific features that must be taken into account.
