Complete assistance for patent registration and renewal

At Brevetti Digiovanni Schmiedt, we offer professional consultation in Milan and throughout Italy for the protection of industrial inventions. What does this entail? An invention is the realization of an idea expressed as a device (machine, plant, system) or method (process and use). An invention is considered thus only when it is not previously known or obvious in light previous knowledge (i.e. the so-called 'prior art') in the sector of the technique considered or in related sectors.
