If you have created an innovative product or solution and wish to claim your rights to it as an inventor and protect it from copying, we suggest that you patent your work at the Ukrainian Intellectual Property and Innovation Office (UIPI).
In addition to a patent for a specific device (phone, headphones, computer, etc.), you can obtain a patent for innovative functionalities of your computer programs, mobile applications, and other processes or methods.
As part of this service, we provide:
- Analysis of your work for compliance with the registration criteria.
- Classifying your work for registration purposes and preparing the necessary documentation.
- Filing a patent application.
- Communicate with the relevant office as part of the processing of your application.
- Reporting to you on the status of your application.
- Sending you a patent certifying the registration of your rights to an invention or utility model.
Advantages of registering rights to an invention or utility model:
- Ensuring official recognition of your rights to an invention or utility model, which serves as an effective protection of your idea from copying or illegal use by third parties;
- Obtaining the exclusive right to use, sell or licence an invention or utility model that provides a competitive advantage in the market;
- Turning your invention or utility model into a full-fledged, valuable tangible asset and investment object;

- Increasing the attractiveness of the brand for attracting investment through the legal protection of your developments.
You need this service if:

- You are a company that has unique formulas, innovative solutions, developments and best practices;
- you would like to have a monopoly on the use of your innovative solutions;

The main conditions for obtaining a utility model patent:
- your work must be suitable for use in industry or other activities, and
- innovative, that is, completely new, which has never been presented in the world before.
To obtain a patent for an invention, the same conditions apply, but in addition, your work must also have an inventive step, i.e., be non-obvious to those skilled in the relevant field.
If you believe that your work meets all the necessary criteria, you have a unique opportunity to patent it and obtain the exclusive right to make, sell or otherwise use it and to prohibit others from doing so.
