E1 - Intro

This episode is the second part on the unitary patent. In the first part I explained the theory (episode 3). This episode builds on it and is the more practical side. - What does the introduction of the new system mean for you and your patents? - What questions can you ask yourself now? - What do you even have to do to get a unitary patent? - Is the unitary patent worth the cost for you? - What impact will the new system have on your existing European patents and what can you do now if you want to minimize the impact? As is so often the case, it is also here a matter of looking at each individual case. For each constellation of patents/patent strategies, how to deal with the new system may be completely different. This episode is intended to help you find your own way of dealing with it. NEWS: In the meantime it was announced that the Unitary Patent System will start in April 2023. This means that the sunrise period will be from the beginning of January until the end of March 2023. I hope you enjoyed this episode!   

Invention disclosures are the documentation of your idea which you're normally creating for the company you're working in. On the basis of your invention disclosure it will be decided, if it should be turned into a patent application and if yes, then it will be handed to the patent attorney. With your invention disclosure you have a direct influence on the success of your invention. With my tips, you can improve the quality of your invention disclosures.   This episode is the audio track of a YouTube video, enhanced with some more information.
