The road to a patent

This scenario is about the considerations that you are faced with when you seek to obtain protection for an invention or technology.

You have put a lot of time and energy into developing a water jug. The special feature of your water jug is that it can detect the water level in a way than other products on the market can't. Today you have decided that it is time to obtain a patent for the water jug. However, you know nothing about patent protection and have therefore spent some time researching what a patent is and what the proceedings looks like for a patent application.

You have found that you have the following options. What do you choose?

I write the patent application myself

I contact the Danish Patent and Trademark Office, which is the Danish patent office

I am seeking advice from a patent attorney
