Based in Milan but with a global outlook, Brevetti Digiovanni Schmiedt offers comprehensive consultancy to obtain national patents in Italy, ensuring companies exclusive protection of the invention for a maximum period of 20 years.
The granting of a national patent is achieved through the filing of an application with the Italian Patent and Trademark Office (UIBM), followed by a formal examination process and a prior art search conducted by the European Patent Office (EPO). This ensures that the invention meets the requirements of novelty and originality.
Additionally, consultancy is provided for international protection through conventions such as the European Patent Convention (EPC) and the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), which allow extending patent protection to multiple countries with a single application.
