FAQs Patent Questions

Question:Can I print a single page from the Electronic Official Gazette - Patents?

Answer:
Yes. The way that it is done depends on which browser you use.

Question:If two or more persons work together to make an invention, to whom will the patent be granted?

Answer:
If each had a share in the ideas forming the invention as defined in the claims – even if only as to one claim, they are joint inventors and a patent will be issued to them jointly on the basis of a proper patent application. If, on the other hand, one of these persons has provided all of the ideas of the invention, and the other has only followed instructions in making it, the person who contributed the ideas is the sole inventor and the patent application and patent shall be in his/her name alone.
