We plan to rent a research lab in foreign countries that has the resources we need. There, we plan to create and test our potentially new prototype and patent the invention. Will we not have a problem later if the patent is not created at our LAB? How to protect against potential risks and what you need to know?
An answer:
In a particular case, the territory in which the patent is registered and the protection afforded should be taken into account. Please note that a patent is valid only in the territory where it is granted. Accordingly, if the invention were patented in the Republic of Lithuania, protection would apply only in the territory of this country. However, in view of the use of a laboratory in another country and the fact that your invention has not been patented in that country, this protection would not apply in that particular country. Therefore, in order to provide wider protection for one's invention, it would be appropriate to protect the invention in other countries as well. It should be noted that an invention may be patented either individually in each country in accordance with the national law of that country or simultaneously in several countries, using the possibility provided by international agreements.
Please note that this is a general consultation, we suggest you consult a lawyer for more detailed information.
