Advice from the Aquinov expert

« Inventions in the Electronics and IT fields are often at the borderline of the patentability defined by the texts and case law.
These conceptual inventions implemented by IT tools such as computers or simple microprocessors, can and must nevertheless be protected since they are inventions in the same sense as those belonging to traditional sectors such as Chemistry or the automobile sector.

To this effect, only a specialist who masters the specificity of patent law in these fields will be able to identify and present the patentable elements of such inventions. »
