In order to provide an appropriate service, we rely on specialized technicians in the electromechanical sector, ensuring smooth communication between inventors and technical experts.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to drafting patent specifications, the preparation of drawings and figures supporting the patent is essential for the development of the invention. These services are included as part of the specification drafting process.<\/p>\n<h2>Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological<\/h2>\n<p> This type of patent, highly specialized, is increasingly relevant, as patents in these sectors are intangible assets that can hold significant value.<\/p>\n<p>Our patent department is composed of specialists in Biotechnology, Chemistry, and Pharmaceuticals, who maintain constant communication with laboratories and companies in these sectors. This enables us to provide added value when implementing research results through patent protection, ensuring that clients can maximize the return on their investment in research.<\/p>\n<h2>Software Patents<\/h2>\n<p> Although Article 52 of the European Patent Convention excludes software from patentability, in practice, since 1986, the European Patent Office (EPO) has granted protection for computer-implemented inventions that meet certain criteria.<\/p>\n<p>However, EPO grant criteria continue to exclude the patentability of mere mathematical formulas (algorithms) of computer programs. Protection is only granted for inventions where software is the main element, performs a technical process, or has specific and defined technical characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>This is commonly referred to as the \u201ctechnical effect requirement.\u201d While it is not explicitly required to describe a technical effect, it implies that the program must perform a function that, through interaction with hardware, produces a tangible and distinguishable result beyond the mere electronic effect of its execution.<\/p>\n<p>Having a specialized software patent expert is essential when drafting a patent, first to assess whether the software is patentable, and, if so, to draft the specification appropriately to address issues related to its technical nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electromechanical This is one of the broadest sectors in the field of patents.
