Protect your valuable idea to secure your business.
Your intellectual property is what makes your product unique. By lodging a patent application, your patent pending status will establish your claim on your new idea, provide investors with confidence and help deter competitors from copying.
A granted patent provides ownership of an invention for up to 20 years in the countries you choose and provides both monopoly and licensing rights.
