To protect or not?
Do you want to protect your invention with a patent? Think about this question early on. Until you’ve decided, we advise you to keep your idea a secret.
The exact date on which you apply for a patent can be decisive. Some technology sectors are fiercely competitive and new technologies appear on the market with lightning speed. Whoever first applies for a patent for an invention secures the rights to it.
