On the modern stage of economic development the patents are the key tool and the main weapon of any technological business.

We also are convinced that the Internet is one of the greatest inventions of our time which opens vast opportunities for us. In this regard, the task to obtain state protection for the developed Internet-based technologies as well as software products becomes the agenda.

Depending on how the developed software will be used in conjunction with implementing its equipment, the most effective system of state protection (patent or copyright) may vary.

Invention (utility model) - is the result of human intellectual activity in any field of technology. Invention (utility model) can be: device, method, material, biological material (e.g., microorganism, cell culture, plants and animals) as well as the new use of a known product or process.

The device as an object of the invention is characterized by design (layout) features - the location of elements, their relationship, the forms of elements (components, assemblies), the ratio of the elements size, the material from which the item is made.

Substance as an object of the invention is characterized by either components or chemical structure. Here are distinguished, first, substances obtained by non-chemical means and, secondly, the chemical compounds.

Process or method is a set of actions performed over material objects and to achieve a technical result.

Invention "in the use of a known product or process" is characterized by finding a new relationship of a known object to other objects, so that it can be used on a new, non-traditional purpose of the subject.

When receiving the patent protection, the bulk of inventions related to the software, can mainly refer to the following elements: the device (hardware) system, algorithm, numerical method, network, data processing method or the software itself. In this case it is possible to obtain a protection of either the method (mode) or the device.

The main legislative act in Ukraine for inventions and utility models is the Law of Ukraine "On Protection of Rights to Inventions and Utility Models". In exchange for the disclosure of the essence of the invention by the author, the state on behalf of the Company shall issue a patent for the invention.

A patent is granted for an invention that meets the criteria of patentability: novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability.

A patent is granted for a utility model if it is new and industrially applicable. In this case, the registration (secret address) the patent system, it is done only formal examination and to the examination on the merits.

A patent is only valid in the country where it was issued.

To ensure protection of your economic interests, not only in Ukraine, but also abroad, it is recommended to obtain a patent in your favorite country or group of countries. A patent gives you the opportunity to use exclusively, to authorize the use or prohibit the use of your invention by third parties in the territory.

Term of the patent for invention - 20 years from the date of submission of application for the invention. Term of the patent for utility model - 10 years.

In order to obtain intellectual property rights to an invention or utility model must be submitted to expert institution (SE "UIIP") a request of the prescribed form and in the prescribed manner. During the examination a decision to grant a patent or to refuse to extradite him will be made.

The owner of the intellectual property rights can be an inventor, the inventor of the employer if the invention has been made in the line of duty or contract, the inventor or the successor employer.

An important condition for successful promotion abroad and for improvement of innovative research-and-development competitiveness, including start-ups, as well as finished products which can be protected under patents, is the implementation of a foreign patent on PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) procedure.

Patenting on PCT procedure assists applicants in seeking patent protection internationally for their inventions, helps patent Offices with their patent granting decisions, and facilitates public access to a wealth of technical information relating to those inventions. By filing one international patent application under the PCT, applicants can simultaneously seek protection for an invention in 148 countries throughout the world.

The above-mentioned patent is carried out on the basis of national (Ukrainian) application within 12 months from the date of its priority.

The procedure for foreign patent under the PCT procerure is divided into two stages – an international phase, which takes up to 30-31 months, and a national phase.

The international phase of the PCT provides, inter alia, an international search and an international preliminary examination.

After analyzing the results of international search and international preliminary examination, inventor has access to a more realistic approach to the subsequent transition to the stage of obtaining national patents.

This contributes to the ultimate reduction of unnecessary foreign patenting costs for applicant.

Thus, the result of ‘foreign patenting’ under the PCT procedure is not an issue of an ‘international patent’, but obtaining a more accurate estimates of the chances of the applicant to receive a patent later in selected by an applicant national and regional patent offices on the basis of a filed international application.

Patent Attorney will prepare and realize the proposals for complex patenting of the developed products, including so-called “by-pass” patents (in case competitors already have similar products) or blocking (so-called “umbrella”) patents.
