What you need to know
IPLatam registers a patent with the INPI – National Institute of Industrial Property. For 18 months, the process runs under secrecy, without any competitor knowing what it is about.
The analysis of the case takes between 8 and 9 years and the validity period is 25 years, counted from the formalization of the patent application. In other words, in practice, the company will have exclusivity over the patent for 16 or 17 years.
The value of a patent is higher than that of a trademark.
However, the revenue potential of being the sole holder and explorer of the technology for nearly two decades is enormous.
After filing in Brazil, the company has another 12 months to apply for an international patent.
The request is made at WIPO – World Intellectual Property Organization, in Switzerland, based on the PCT – Patent Cooperation Treaty.
The IPLatam team has vast experience in the process of registering national and international patents.
YES. This type of patent is called Know-how Protection and guarantees the right to knowledge. Think of the recipe as a secret formula responsible for the success of a restaurant or food industry. If everyone knew how to make Coca-Cola or if all the ingredients that go into a Amor ao Pedaços pie were in the public domain, the owners of these companies would not profit so much.
If you want to patent a recipe, it needs to be something new and useful.
