Advice from the Aquinov expert

« Always include the patent issue in your industrial strategy and ask yourself the right questions :

- How advisable is it to protect this invention?

- Am I sure I am not a counterfeiter of a patent which already exists?

- If this invention is free to be used, what is the interest in having it protected by a patent and do I have the right to do so?

- If I have the right, do I protect it with a patent or do I prefer not to communicate about it and keep the skill within the company?

Aquinov will help you to answer all these questions and will advise you on how to adapt your choices to your company’s global strategy (and not necessarily just your technical one). »
