Consultation on a patent for an invention

Request a consultation on a patent for an invention 

Creating an invention is not only a creative or technical task, but also a complex process that determines whether the author will be able to obtain real legal protection, a monopoly on the use of their solution, and the possibility of commercialisation. In Poland, the patenting system has clear requirements regarding novelty, the level of inventive step, and industrial applicability. Therefore, consultation on a patent for an invention becomes a key stage that allows the author to avoid mistakes, loss of time and unnecessary expenses. An intellectual property lawyer helps to determine patentability, correctly structure the description and build a protection strategy. 

How does patent consultation work? 

Professional consultation includes several clear steps that help the inventor understand their options: 

1. Initial analysis of the technical solution: the lawyer checks the invention's compliance with the criteria of novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability in accordance with the requirements of the Urząd Patentowy RP.
2. Patentability assessment: the specialist analyses existing solutions, searches for analogues and determines whether it makes sense to file an application.
3. Consultation on protection strategy: the specialist explains the difference between a Polish and European patent, as well as international PCT patenting, selecting the optimal path. 
4. Preparation of a technical description together with the applicant: a lawyer helps to formulate the invention formula, a key element that determines the scope of protection. 
5. Calculation of risks and costs: a specialist predicts the complexity of the process, possible objections and determines the total cost of patenting in Poland. 

Such consultation gives the inventor a complete understanding of the prospects for registration and allows them to formulate a competent legal strategy. 

The role of a lawyer in patenting 

A patent is an asset that can generate profits for decades. But only if it is perfectly executed: with a clear formula, proper evidence of novelty, and correct classification. Most patent rejections are not due to bad ideas, but to legal errors: inaccurate descriptions, unclear features, incorrect scope. That is why the work of an intellectual property lawyer is so critical. They act as an intermediary, transforming an idea into a protected object of law. 

How can an intellectual property lawyer help? 

Professional support covers more than just preparing an application — it involves detailed work: 

• Determining the optimal model for protecting an invention: the specialist analyses whether it is worth obtaining a patent in Poland, a European EPO patent, or choosing an international application under the PCT procedure.
• Preparation and correction of technical documentation: the specialist improves the formula of the invention, ensuring the broadest possible and at the same time stable legal protection. 
• Assessment of the commercial value of the invention: a lawyer analyses the market, potential competitors and the prospects for licensing or selling rights. 
• Support during correspondence with the patent office: a specialist responds to objections, prepares arguments and ensures a positive outcome of the proceedings. 
• Advice on transfer of rights, licensing and monetisation: the specialist helps to choose a revenue model, from an exclusive licence to a partial transfer of rights. 

Thanks to such comprehensive support, the applicant receives not just a patent, but a real legal tool for developing their business.
