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, so that others can understand it also. Only with such a wording it can be protected for the inventor.

Local and global protection

National patents are known for a long time. Today the European Patent Convention and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) allow to protect ideas with one single application over entire Europe or in all important industrialized states of the world.   For a global effective application of a patent you can rely on standard regulations. European patents and PCT-applications are an important contribution for the competitiveness of the proprietor of a patent.
