Patent applications
You can file patent applications yourself or leave it to a sworn patent attorney. Engaging a sworn patent attorney, such as ir. M.B. Plaggenborg of Octrooibureau Novopatent B.V., offers a significant advantage. You are assisted by someone who has completed the extensive postgraduate training to become a patent attorney. This gives you the assurance that your invention will be described in the best possible manner.

Basic idea of the invention
Our patent attorney will discuss your invention with you in detail and (in close consultation with you!) draft a solid document in which your invention is protected as broadly as possible. Describing the basic idea of your invention is particularly important because it is essential to prevent the protection you obtain from being too limited. A patent attorney has the experience and training that makes him the specialist to protect your invention!
Drafting a patent requires consultation
Patent applications can be drafted in a single day; occasionally, this is necessary. However, it is certainly not preferred. After all, drafting patent applications requires consultation.
Fast procedure
New insights are often gained after reading the description (including by the inventor), requiring significant adjustments to the description. Consequently, the average time to draft new patent applications generally takes at least a week, often even two or three weeks.
Extensive network
Your patent applications are filed by Octrooibureau Novopatent in the Netherlands, Europe, and/or beyond. Dutch, European, and International (PCT) patent applications are filed and handled directly by Octrooibureau Novopatent itself. As a result, the procedure is both effective and fast. We can also handle foreign patent applications for you if you wish to have them filed. To this end, we have an extensive network of foreign agents at our disposal.
