Do it yourself

Drafting a patent application can be compared to writing a movie script. There are often several people involved and the final result depends on the total contributions.

Some inventors want to do as much of the work themselves as possible on the patent application. In terms of experience, the best result is often achieved when the inventor or contractor is actively involved in the patent work.

How can a patent application be done as cheaply as possible?

A lot of the work involving patenting can be optimized by having a precise idea of ​​both commercial and technical aspects of the invention. Many patent applications are unnecessarily long or, at the time of submission, have unnecessarily broad requirements in relation to the market the patent is intended to cover.

How can a patent application be done fast?

In addition to a clear definition of the potential market of the invention, an understanding of the invention’s technical contribution helps to ensure rapid completion of the patent work. For example, a “Dialogue search” carried out at the Danish Patent and Trademark Office can be a valuable tool for understanding the possibility of patenting an invention.

Drawings

It is highly beneficial to the application that drawings meet the requirements for an international application right from the beginning as there are options to make smaller modifications later. The requirements are found in the “PCT Applicant’s Guide – International Phase”, section 5.128 – 5.160.
