Technics und Patent

„The right wording of a problem is already half the solution!”, Albert Einstein probably said. And if the complete solution is a technically brilliant idea, it again has to be described with the „right” wording to make it understandable for others. Only with such a wording can it be protected for the inventor.

Local and global protection

National patents have existed for a long time. Today, the European Patent Convention and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) have made it possible to protect inventions with one single application over entire Europe, and in all major industrialized countries of the world. For a globally valid application of a patent, you can rely on standard regulations. European patents and PCT applications thus make a significant contribution to the global competitiveness of a patent holder.
