FAQs

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

These are general guidelines; official rules and case-specific assessments apply.

How to choose: invention, utility model, or design?
Inventions for technical solutions; utility models for structural improvements; designs for product appearance/UI.
Can I apply after product launch?
Public disclosure may destroy novelty—file before launch. Some countries have grace periods, but conditions are strict.
Is PCT an international patent?
No, it’s an international filing procedure preserving entry rights. Final grants require national/regional examination.
Are office actions common?
Yes, they are. The key is claim amendment and defence strategy.
Is search and patentability analysis necessary?
Yes. The results help adjust the scope of the claims and decide which technical points are worth protecting, avoiding wasted costs.
Who handles the patent filing?
Patent filings are handled through an affiliated patent agency. J&C provides online submission and progress tracking; quotes and engagement agreements come from the patent agency handling your matter.
