Patent Questionnaire - What type of Patent do I need?

Use the following questions to help determine which patent is best for you.

A provisional application would be best for you if you answer "yes" to the following questions:
  • Do I need to file an application urgently?
  • In the short term, do I need to spend money elsewhere rather than patenting?
  • Do I need more time to finalise the development of my invention?
  • Am I likely to make any modifications to my invention in the near future?
  • Do I need more time to assess the commercial viability of my invention?

A complete standard application would best suit your needs if you answer "yes" to the following questions:
  • Have I finalised development of my invention?
  • Am I certain I want a patent?
  • Do I wish to obtain the maximum term of patent protection available?
  • Do I wish to fully protect my invention in the most risk-averse way?

An innovation patent application would best suit your needs if you answer "yes" to the following questions:
  • Have I finalised development of my invention?
  • Does my invention have a limited commercial life?
  • Is my invention relatively simple with a limited range of aspects and applications?
  • Do I wish to obtain a patent quickly with minimal financial outlay?

An international PCT application would best suit your needs if you answer "yes" to the following questions:
  • Have I finalised development of my invention?
  • Do I want to obtain patent protection in a large number of foreign countries? 
  • Do I need more time to finalise my foreign patent strategy?
  • Am I still uncertain of the commercial viability of my invention and intended markets?
  • Do I want to delay foreign filing costs for as long as possible?
