FAQ
Patents are country-specific and are rights limited to the borders of the issuing country.
Is a patent valid in every country? Patents are territorial rights. In general, the exclusive rights are only applicable in the country or region in which a patent has been filed and granted, in ance with the law of that country or region.
Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in other countries must apply for a patent in each of the other countries or in regional patent offices.
A Patent is a grant given by the government to inventors/applicants in return for disclosing an Invention. It is a legal right to exclusively exploit the invention for the life of the patent. The term of protection for a Patent is (20) years from the date of filing in the Philippines, with no possibility of renewal.
Novelty: One of the essential requirements for filing a patent in another country is that the invention must be novel, meaning it must be new and not previously disclosed. This requirement is necessary to prevent someone from filing a patent for something that already exists.
A U.S. patent holder can block importation and sale of an infringing machine, manufacture or composition of matter in the U.S. and can sue for damages. Suit can be brought against foreign companies in U.S. federal court, so long as the patent holder can serve the infringer.
A civil action for patent infringement may be field to recover damages sustained by the patent owner. If the damages sustained cannot be ascertained with reasonable certainty, the court may award by way of damages a sum equivalent to reasonable royalty.
Getting Started in Litigation Your attorney will file a formal complaint in federal court, explaining how the defendant has infringed on your patent. Together with your attorney, you will need to compile evidence of your ownership of the patent and the infringement.
