1 Strategy There are several possible strategies when filing patent applications covering more than one country. Although the protection afforded by one or the other option may be comparable or even identical, the choice of strategy may have considerable impact on the costs and notably on their distribution over time. This document explains the differences between five popular strategies. 1 > Swiss Patent Application 2 > Direct European Patent Application 3 > Direct international (PCT) Application 4 > Application without fees 5 > International (PCT) Application claiming priority 6 > PCT Members 7 > EPO Members PATENTS & TECHNOLOGY SURVEYS SA
2 Option 1: Swiss Patent Application PATENTS & TECHNOLOGY SURVEYS SA Consultation Preliminary search Draft application FILE SWISS APPLICATION Search report (optional) APPLICATIONS CLAIMING PRIORITY Suspend Swiss Application EP SEARCH REPORT PUBLICATION EP, US, etc... EP examination request EP designations Examinations EP, US,etc... GRANT PROCEDURES Abandon Swiss Application Translation and validation of EP Patent Annuities EP EP-CH EP-DE EP-etc... US JP Other
3 Swiss Patent Application Recommended if: > The initial costs should be reduced > The invention does not fulfil the more stringent criteria of the European patent > An official EPO search report is desired before deciding on the countries to be protected > The invention could evolve considerably during the first 12 months; a definitive application should include these improvements > An effective protection of 21 years is desired > The text must be filed in Italian > The Swiss market is important and it is essential to obtain the best possible protection in this market To be avoided if: > The total cost for obtaining a European or international patent should be reduced; as the costs of the Swiss application are added to those of the European application, this solution will prove, after only 12 months already, more expensive than a direct European application > It is nearly certain that the invention will no longer evolve after filing; in this case, a direct European or international application is often more cost-effective > Conversely, it is practically certain that the invention will evolve much after filing; in this case, a provisional application is often more appropriate > A European patent is to be obtained quickly > Filing in English is desired
4 Option 2: Direct European Patent Application PATENTS & TECHNOLOGY SURVEYS SA Consultation Preliminary search Draft Application FILE EUROPEAN APPLICATION Search report APPLICATIONS CLAIMING PRIORITY PUBLICATION EP, US, etc... EP Examination request EP designations NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GRANT PROCEDURES Translation and validation of EP Patent Annuities EP 24 EP-CH EP-DE EP-etc... US JP Other
5 Direct European Patent Application Recommended if: > The total costs for obtaining the patent should be reduced as much as possible > The risk of the application being abandoned soon is low > The probability that the invention evolves considerably during the first year is low > It is clear from the beginning that a patent limited to Switzerland is not sufficient > An official search report from the EPO is required at an early stage > An early grant is an advantage To be avoided if: > The initial costs should be reduced > The invention is likely to evolve after initial filing > The invention does not fulfil the rather stringent criteria of the European patent > An effective protection of 21 years rather than 20 is an advantage
6 Option 3: Direct International (PCT) Application PATENTS & TECHNOLOGY SURVEYS SA Consultation preliminary search Draft application FILE INTERNATIONAL APPLICATION Search report Applications in non-pct states claiming priority PUBLICATION PCT Examination request (optional) EXAMINATION REPORT (if requested) ENTRY IN NATIONAL PHASE National examinations GRANT PROCEDURES Translation and validation of EP patent Annuities EP TH EP-CH EP-DE EP-etc... US MY JP Other
7 Direct International (PCT) Application Recommended if: > The main costs should be deferred > Considerable expense is to be avoided during the first 30 months without having to give up the possibility of protecting the invention in a large number of countries > It is difficult to predict the success of the product and the risk of the invention becoming abandoned during the first 30 months is not negligible > The definitive selection of the countries in which the invention is to be protected should be deferred as long as possible > Protection is desired in a large number of countries; upwards of 15 countries, this strategy can prove more cost-effective > It is important to be able to budget the costs accurately during 30 months > A rejection is to be avoided at all costs during the first 30 months To be avoided if: > The initial costs should be reduced > The total costs until grant should be reduced > The countries in which the invention is to be protected can be selected early and are less than 15 > The invention is likely to evolve during the 12 months after filing and it is possible that the text will have to be made more complete > An early grant is an advantage > An effective protection of 21 years is desired
8 Option 4: Application without fees PATENTS & TECHNOLOGY SURVEYS SA Consultation Possibly prelim. search Draft Application FILE PROVISIONAL APPLICATION Application rejected after having generated a priority right APPLICATIONS CLAIMING PRIORITY Translations EP-Search report PUBLICATION EP, US, etc... EP examination request EP designations National examinations GRANT PROCEDURES Translation and validation of EP patent Annuities EP EP-CH EP-DE EP-etc... US JP Other
9 Application without fees (provisional application) Recommended if: > The initial costs should be reduced as much as possible > The time available does not allow for preparation of a definitive application > The invention will probably evolve after filing > The risk of the invention becoming abandoned during the first year is high > The US market is important and it is imperative to obtain the protection in the most efficient possible way (only for US provisional application) > An effective protection of 21 years is desired > The inventor has already disclosed the invention publicly but wishes to retain the possibility of obtaining protection at least for the USA (US provisional application) To be avoided if: > The total costs should be reduced; as the costs of the provisional application are added to those of the subsequent application(s), this solution will prove more expensive after only 12 months already > The invention is already quite advanced and the markets requiring protection are already well known > It is necessary to select the countries in which protection is sought after 12 months already or to file an international application > An official search report is required at an early stage before deciding on the definitive strategy > A flawless provisional protection is required, in particular during the first 12 months > An early grant is desired > Additional steps, notably for drafting the definitive application, after 12 months already should be avoided
10 Option 5: International (PCT) Application claiming priority PATENTS & TECHNOLOGY SURVEYS SA Consultation preliminary search Draft Application FILE PRIORITY APPLICATION (e.g. application without fees) SEARCH REPORT (optional) FILE PCT APPLICATION PCT - Designations Applications in non-pct states claiming priority PCT PUBLICATION Examination request (optional) SEARCH REPORT EXAMINATION REPORT (if requested) ENTRY IN NATIONAL PHASE Translations National examinations GRANT PROCEDURE Translation and validation of EP Patent Annuities EP TW EP-CH EP-DE EP-etc... US TH JP MY Other
11 International PCT Application claiming priority Recommended if: > All the costs must be deferred as long as possible > The initial costs must be reduced, for example by filing an initial application without fees > The costs at 12 months must be reduced > Considerable expense is to be avoided during the first 30 months without having to give up the possibility of protecting the invention in a large number of countries > It is difficult to predict the success of the product and the risk of the invention becoming abandoned during the first 30 months is not negligible > The definitive selection of the countries in which the invention is to be protected must be deferred as long as possible > The invention will certainly evolve further after filing and a definitive application after 12 months will have to include variants and improvements conceived in the meantime > The invention is designed to be sold but it might be difficult to find a buyer before 12 and even 30 months > The Swiss market is important and it is essential to obtain the best possible protection in this market (only for initial applications in Switzerland) > The invention s prospects on the international market are considerable or not yet well known > It is important to be able to budget the costs accurately during 30 months > An effective protection of 21 years is desired > A rejection is to be avoided at all costs during the first 30 months > The application is part of a wider patent portfolio and a considerably flexibility is essential To be avoided if: > The total costs until grant should be reduced > The countries in which the invention is to be protected can be selected early and are less than 15 > An early grant is an advantage
