How Aquinov can help you in the Mechanics sector?
- In each of these sectors of activity, Aquinov can manage all IP rights: studies on freedom of use, writing up of documents, filing and acquisition of a patent in France and abroad, studies on the availability of trademarks, writing the wording of the trademark according to the sector of activity, etc.
- Aquinov will give you the benefit of its long experience of examination procedures in France and abroad, as well as of the inspectors’ practices: procedures (deadlines and costs) and protection are optimized.
- Aquinov manages all aspects of the service provided with no sub-contracting. Thanks to its in-house drafter who is a specialist in 3D software, the drawings included in the patent application file are in the perfect form to both cover the invention and not disclose all the building details.
Examples of patents filed in the Mechanics sector
- In the packaging field: a cooking and packaging device for corn grains used to make popcorn.
- In the heating field: a combined air conditioning device
- In the snow field: a device to produce artificial snow
- In the automobile field: a device to make a roughly cylindrical orifice tight
Advice from the Aquinov expert
« It is important to monitor the patent situation so as not to develop an innovation which goes against the rights of a third party and not « reinvent the wheel ».
Also ensure that you are indeed the real holder of the rights, especially when you are developing in partnership with a third party or through a third party or for a third party. »

Le Conseil
Chemistry and Life Sciences
« Inventions in the Life Sciences and Chemistry field are difficult to protect. They require both that the technical aspects are well understood by the Consultant and that the specificities of the patent law in these technical fields are mastered: it is a question of meeting the particular demands in terms of substance and form which do not exist in other fields.
Moreover, certain inventions cannot be patented, notably for bioethical reasons, whilst others need particular arrangements to meet the demand for sufficient description (the filing of biological material, nucleotide sequences in a certain format etc.) »
