Great breakdown Elias. Question: Can you file a patent directly in another country after your US patent has been granted for over a year already?
@PatentToronto
2 ай бұрын
No. Generally speaking, it’s too late to file by that time. If you filed in another country that late your previous US patent would likely disqualify you from getting a patent. This would be the scenario where filing a PCT application within one year of the US filing would be worth while.

Thank you for such great information. I have one question. What if after the period of international application I only file in one country? Does that mean the other countries will have the rights of the documents which were sent by the IB? Thanks again!

Thank you for your succinct information. QUESTION: when I applied for my patent, my patent attorney said that if my invention already existed in another country that I would not be able to patent it here in the USA. Wouldn't this work inversely and prevent another company in another country from patenting my invention?

Generally yes; however, patent offices might not have knowledge of your prior publication/patent, so they might issue a patent. You could probably challenge the validity of those patents if you need to.

As an idea for a further video, I have a UK application in process and want to make a claim is the US within the 12 month period. I thought there would be plenty of information showing what is different between US and UK applications so I am just adapting my UK format to US but there is not much straightforward A+B comparison. I thought it would be very popular people would want a UK and US patent as they are in the same language therefore a simple run down of how the two are different would be great, so if you claim a US patent what do you need to change to file the UK and visa versa.... Thanks for your video !

Thank you for the suggestion. Basically, for a US patent application you need a written specification (which you can probably get from UK application) an abstract (a one paragraph summary of the invention), the drawings and the claims (the UK application will also have claims). Then you need the various government forms. The specification has to have a title, a brief description of the drawings, and a detailed description of the invention. The specification may have other headings like summary of the invention and background of the invention.

Thank you sir, great advice and perfect timing for me. I'm in South Africa, but want to also send my inventions to the USA and maybe other countries too. I just signed an NDA few days ago, with a manufacturer. Agreements are so complicated for me, even though I tried to read it 3 times. 😏 I want to send it to companies this week in the hope of getting a licensing agreement.

I am just speculating but if would seem that IPA is a plausible pursuit or approach if the given patent in question has the attributes of an industry game changer which not limited in itself to the more developed countries but to the overall collectives already tied by and large in trade or the existing markets of the pioneering innovation,

If you're licensing an idea and the industry it's relevant to has all it's main players located in 1-2 countries then just get patents for those countries is what I figure. If someone somewhere else wants to copy it then fine but if the company you're licensing to is first to market and has a good client base, manufacturing etc.. then the copyer has little chance of much success.

This was very helpful! Thank you. I have a question. If I file a non-PCT Canadian application as well as a non-PCT US provisional application and wait to file in other countries either as a PCT application or country-specific non-PCT application, will this offer any protection in other countries, for example in the UK, during the 12-month period after filing? Asking because I want to market my product in the UK too but am worried about if someone copies the idea if I dont patent it there. I would love your thoughts on this.

The FIRST application allows you 12 months to file corresponding applications in other countries while claiming priority from that FIRST application. You can file a PCT application from the first application and that will give you some additional time.

Thanks for advice. Can you comment on Regional Patents and their advantage or disadvantage. I have a Canadian patent, a successful separate PCT patent based upon additional discovery related to the same invention and then filed regional patent applications with EPO and ARIPO (as well as in Australia and Israel). Am still working out the utility of filing with EPO and ARIPO. Is this simply a means of 'extending time' to find additional resources to carry out the national phase in the individual countries under EPO and ARIPO? Time to mobilize additional resources and additional team is what I need.

Regional applications (like EPO) have the same advantages of a PCT application, with one wrinkle. If you file a PCT application and you want to designate France, Italy (some others), then you have file an EPO designating those countries.

Hi team. I created an invention and I built a company around it. I registered the company with my country's company office, registered with our inland revenue department for taxes, opened a bank account, registered to Trademark my company name and the name of my invention which was accepted, and sent in my application to patent my invention. I have designed my initial product and have developed other designs I'm just trying to get them manufactured. I made contact with two manufacturing companies, one from the US and they said they couldn't help as I am not based in the US, and the other in my own country that they asked to see designs which I showed, as I though I'd be safe as I've trademarked names and have a patent pending. Question: will my Trademark and pending patent protect my invention from being produced by others. Thank you very much for your super informative content, I have subscribed with notification to hear more fantastic info on the matters of protecting intellectual property. Warm regards
