For Patent/Utility Model Application Process and Prior Art Search

APPLICATION PROCESS

As part of the requirements of obtaining patent/utility model rights, a detailed description of the patent/utility model should be prepared. The way a description should be drafted is that it should enable a reader to understand what is your patent/utility model, and to teach how the patent/utility model is made or used. However, not every bit of detail that is not relevant should be disclosed as it may be unnecessary and actually damaging to you. Thus, it is better to seek a professional draftsperson to prepare the specification, and especially the claims.

It will also be an advantage to check what prior arts are out there so that you can be informed in deciding if you will pursue the patent application as it is costly and will take time for a certificate to be granted.
