Patenting

 

The technical industries we all depend on – from medicines to microelectronics – have as their foundation a rigorous framework for patent protection.

As a signatory of the European Patent Convention as of March 2007, all patents registered with the European Patent Office may be protected in Malta, subject to validation by the Maltese Industrial Property Registrations Directorate.  In about 99% of cases, this is how patent protection in Malta is achieved.

Patents come in many shapes and sizes.  Highly technical patent applications can read much like a doctoral thesis, and can cost a heap of money to prepare and file and heaps more to prosecute and defend. Whatever your aspirations, we will help you identify your patenting requirements and devise and deploy a cost-effective patent strategy that will ensure maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
