Overview
The service of registering inventions and utility models in Ukraine involves protecting your innovative products or processes from being copied by others. This can be done by filing an application with the Ukrainian Patent Office (UKRNOIVI), which will review the application and grant a patent if it meets the legal requirements.
Entry to the national phase (PCT procedure)
If you have filed a PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) application and wish to enter the national phase in Ukraine, you will need to file a request for entry into the national phase with the Ukrainian Patent Office within the specified timeframe (31 months). Our law firm can assist non-resident applicants with this process, including translation of the application into Ukrainian.
Examination of application
Once your application has been submitted, it will be examined by UKRNOIVI to ensure it meets the legal requirements for patentability. This examination process typically includes a search for prior art, an evaluation of the patentability of the invention or utility model, and a review of the formal requirements for the application. If the application is approved, a patent will be issued, providing you with the exclusive right to use your invention or utility model in Ukraine.
Conclusion
Our law firm can guide you through the entire process of registering your invention or utility model in Ukraine, from preparing and submitting the application to responding to office actions and securing the patent certificate.
