Patenting products of intellectual activity becomes a truly serious tool for protecting your property and ensuring that the boundaries will not be infringed.
You can obtain a patent (title of protection, certificate of ownership, etc.) for:
Invention
Utility model
Design
Naturally, there are some requirements that an object of intellectual property must meet. You can find these requirements in the relevant sections.
Each object of industrial property can be protected by:
National patent, i.e. a patent that is valid only in one country, or
Regional patent, i.e. a patent valid in several countries of a certain region (for example, a Eurasian patent for an invention, a European patent for a design, etc.).
Why would somebody need a patent?
A patent confirms your rights to industrial property.
A patent allows you to prohibit competitors from using your invention, utility model, or design.
A patent allows you to grant licenses for using your invention, utility model, or design.
