4 [Patent] Basics Regarding Patentablity of Inventions Inventions may relate to products, processes or industrial applications. Patents are therefore granted to inventions that: i) Are New or Novel ii) Involve an inventive step iii) Comprise of a process or an Industrial application of the invention. For an Invention to be patentable, it should contain the following: (i) Novelty: An invention is considered new or novel if it is not included in the state of the art. State of the art consists of all the information available and accessible to the public prior to the date of the patent application. (ii) Inventive Step: An invention is said to contain an inventive step if for a man skilled in the art it does not yield results in an obvious way from the state of the art. (iii) Industrial Application: of the invention would be â when the object of the invention may be produced, manufactured or used in any kind of industry including agriculture Patent Requirements: In order to apply and file for a patent in Luxembourg you need to provide Patent Information, and you need to send to the Attorney the Power of Attorney for Mexico and the Assignment Document if required. Direct National Applications 1. Name and address of the applicant 2. Name, address and citizenship of the Inventor(s). 3. Invention Title, Abstract of the Invention. 4. Invention Text Description.

Official certified priority document, including priority number and country of origin. 9. Official search results from the Patent Office where the patent was first filed. Examination Once the application is filed, the application is scrutinised for defence & atomic energy aspects.

The name and address of the applicant and the number and date of publication of the EP application must be submitted with the translation. Conditions for patent validation in Luxembourg Translation In Luxembourg, no translation of the specification of the European patent needs to be supplied (status: 1 May 2008). Under Article 64(1) EPC, the European patent automatically confers on its proprietor from the date the mention of its grant is published in the European Patent Bulletin, the same rights as would be conferred by a national patent granted in that state. For provisional protection: the translation must be filed in French or German. After grant: no translation is required. Payment of patent validation and national registration fees: There is special fee to be paid, in amount of 14 EUR. Due date for the payment is date on which translation is filed. The translation is not published until the fee has been paid. Effect of the European patent as a national Luxembourg patent Under Article 64(1) EPC, a European patent automatically confers on its proprietor from the date on which the mention of the grant is published in the European Patent Bulletin, in each contracting state in respect of which it is granted, the same rights as would be conferred by a national patent granted in that state.

Provided there is no opposition to the trademark application, the mark is registered and a certificate of registration is issued which will be reflected in the trademark register. Granting: A trademark registration in The Benelux is valid for 10 years from application date. Renewal: The registration is renewable for periods of 10 years.
