An IP Scan is a half\u2011day session in which we help your company to identify its intellectual property. By talking directly to your innovation teams, researchers, inventors, designers and marketing specialists, we assess which inventions, trademarks and designs can be protected. At the same time, we discuss the possibilities for targeted innovation and development. Our experienced team guides you through the process and provides\u00a0<\/span>strategic advice<\/a>\u00a0to maximise the value of your intellectual property.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Prior Art or a Novelty Search” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n When a client comes to Oryon with a new innovation, it can be useful to carry out a preliminary search. A preliminary search looks for existing prior art. This relates to publicly available (patent) documents that may call into question the novelty or inventive step of the invention.<\/p>\n A patent can only be granted if the innovation is both new and inventive. A preliminary search maps the relevant prior art. We clearly define the novel and inventive aspects of the innovation. This helps us draw up a \u2018stronger\u2019\u00a0<\/span>patent<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>with a higher likelihood of being granted.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Invalidity search” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n This is a variant of a Novelty Search. We look for prior art relating to a specific patent you wish to have declared invalid. This is often necessary when a patent gets \u201cin the way\u201d for a client, for example when an FTO search has found a patent that poses a problem.<\/p>\n Prior art consists of relevant publicly available (patent) documents that may call into question the novelty or inventive step of the invention and can therefore invalidate a patent. This requires searching patent databases for published patent documents relating to the patent in question with a publication date before the patent\u2019s filing date. Using patent classifications and search terms, we draw up search queries to compile a list of potentially relevant patent documents. Based on the results, an invalidity claim may be brought before the court or\u00a0<\/span>opposition<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>proceedings may be instituted before the European Patent Office.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Freedom-To-Operate (FTO)” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n This is a search to determine whether your company risks infringing on patent claims of third parties and whether you are allowed to commercialise a product or method. An FTO search is always conducted for a specific country or group of countries, more specifically the countries where the commercialisation will take place. An FTO search helps to prevent legal disputes and guarantees a successful market introduction and operation of innovations.

By talking directly to your innovation teams, researchers, inventors, designers and marketing specialists, we assess which inventions, trademarks and designs can be protected. At the same time, we discuss the possibilities for targeted innovation and development. Our experienced team guides you through the process and provides strategic advice to maximise the value of your intellectual property.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is a novelty search?” toggle_icon=”"||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”19px” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” text_orientation=”left” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”3px” border_color_bottom=”#004F37″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_align=”left” toggle_font_size=”20px” toggle_line_height=”1em” background__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” background_color__hover=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color__hover=”on” open=”off”]<\/p>\n This is a variant of a Novelty Search. We look for prior art relating to a specific patent you wish to have declared invalid.<\/p>\n This is often necessary when a patent gets \u201cin the way\u201d for a client, for example when an FTO search has found a patent that poses a problem.<\/p>\n Prior art consists of relevant publicly available (patent) documents that may call into question the novelty or inventive step of the invention and can therefore invalidate a patent. This requires searching patent databases for published patent documents relating to the patent in question with a publication date before the patent\u2019s filing date. Using patent classifications and search terms, we draw up search queries to compile a list of potentially relevant patent documents. Based on the results, an invalidity claim may be brought before the court or opposition<\/a> proceedings may be instituted before the European Patent Office.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is a Freedom-To-Operate search?” toggle_icon=”"||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”19px” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” text_orientation=”left” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”3px” border_color_bottom=”#004F37″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_align=”left” toggle_font_size=”20px” toggle_line_height=”1em” background__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” background_color__hover=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color__hover=”on” open=”off”]<\/p>\n This is a search to determine whether your company risks infringing on patent claims of third parties and whether you are allowed to commercialise a product or method. An FTO search is always conducted for a specific country or group of countries, more specifically the countries where the commercialisation will take place. An FTO search helps to prevent legal disputes and guarantees a successful market introduction and operation of innovations. You can count on our experts to anticipate potential infringements.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I need to pay annual renewal fees for a patent?” toggle_icon=”"||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”19px” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” text_orientation=”left” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”3px” border_color_bottom=”#004F37″ global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_text_align=”left” toggle_font_size=”20px” toggle_line_height=”1em” background__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” background_color__hover=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color__hover=”on” open=”off”]<\/p>\n In Belgium, you pay annual renewal fees to keep a patent in force, starting from the third year up to a maximum of 20 years after filing. For an EU patent, fees are payable to the European Patent Office which increase over time.<\/p>\n
A Belgian\u00a0<\/span>patent<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>remains valid for 20 years, provided the annual renewal fees are paid on time. These fees must be paid annually to the Belgian Office for Intellectual Property (via the FPS Economy).<\/p>\n
For European \u201cunitary patents\u201d, you pay a single uniform fee to the European Patent Office, with the amount rising over time.<\/p>\n
Depending on the countries where your patent is in force, you may also need to pay local renewal fees to maintain the protection.<\/p>\nDiscuss your innovations with a patent attorney<\/h2>\n
