“Once your invention has been published, you can no longer obtain a valid patent for the invention” Marco Coolen European patent attorney

Competitors may not use, manufacture or sell your invention. And that gives you a big head start.

After 20 years, anyone can freely use your technology. You are eligible for a patent if this patent application meets certain requirements. To be able to apply for a patent, your invention must be new, inventive and industrially applicable. Keep your invention a secret until you apply for a patent. When it has been in the publicity, you can no longer obtain a valid patent on the invention.
