Patent
I need a patent application draft for a new agricultural technology that improves crop yield efficiency, with detailed descriptions of the invention, claims defining the scope of protection, and diagrams illustrating the technology. The document should comply with Indonesian patent law and include a summary in both English and Bahasa Indonesia.
What is a Patent?
A Patent gives inventors exclusive rights to their new technological innovations in Indonesia. This legal protection, granted under Law No. 13 of 2016, stops others from making, selling, or using the invention without permission for up to 20 years.
Patents cover many types of innovations - from new industrial machines to groundbreaking medical treatments. To get one, inventors must share detailed technical information about their creation with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property. This helps spread knowledge while rewarding innovation, making patents vital tools for technological progress and business growth.
When should you use a Patent?
Consider pursuing a Patent when you've created a new technological solution that could bring value to your business in Indonesia. This protection becomes crucial if your invention has commercial potential, especially in competitive industries like manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or software development.
Timing matters - file for patent protection before publicly revealing your invention at trade shows, in publications, or to potential investors. Getting your application to the Directorate General of Intellectual Property early helps prevent others from claiming your innovation first. This is particularly important since Indonesia follows a first-to-file system, meaning earlier applications take priority.
What are the different types of Patent?
- Indonesia recognizes three main Patent types: Standard Patents protect major technological innovations for 20 years; Simple Patents cover incremental improvements for 10 years; and Process Patents safeguard new manufacturing or production methods. Each type varies in protection length, examination complexity, and filing requirements through the Directorate General of Intellectual Property.
Who should typically use a Patent?
- Inventors: Individual creators, research teams, or companies who develop new technical solutions and seek exclusive rights to their innovations through the patent system.
- Patent Attorneys: Legal specialists who help draft detailed technical descriptions, handle applications, and navigate Indonesia's intellectual property laws.
- DGIP Officials: Government examiners at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property who review applications and grant patents.
- Competitors: Other businesses in the same industry who must respect patent rights or negotiate licenses to use protected technologies.
How do you write a Patent?
- Technical Documentation: Prepare detailed descriptions, drawings, and diagrams explaining how your invention works and what makes it unique.
- Prior Art Search: Research existing patents and publications to confirm your invention's novelty in Indonesia and globally.
- Invention Details: Document when and how you created the invention, including test results and prototypes.
- Legal Requirements: Verify your invention meets Indonesia's patentability criteria - it must be new, involve an inventive step, and have industrial application.
- Application Forms: Complete all required DGIP forms, including technical specifications and claims that define your patent's scope.
What should be included in a Patent?
- Title: Clear, specific name describing the invention in Indonesian and English.
- Abstract: Brief summary of the technical innovation and its practical applications.
- Technical Description: Detailed explanation enabling skilled professionals to understand and reproduce the invention.
- Claims Section: Precise legal statements defining the scope of patent protection sought.
- Drawings: Technical diagrams or illustrations explaining the invention's components and operation.
- Priority Claims: Details of any related foreign patent applications filed within 12 months.
What's the difference between a Patent and a Patent Assignment Agreement?
Patents are often confused with Patent Assignment Agreements in Indonesia's intellectual property landscape. While both relate to patent rights, they serve fundamentally different purposes.
- Legal Protection vs. Transfer: Patents grant exclusive rights to an invention, while Assignment Agreements transfer ownership of those patent rights from one party to another.
- Duration: Patents last up to 20 years from filing date, but Assignment Agreements typically execute a permanent, one-time transfer.
- Government Role: Patents require examination and approval by Indonesia's DGIP, while Assignments are private contracts between parties.
- Documentation: Patents need detailed technical descriptions and claims, whereas Assignments focus on transfer terms, compensation, and parties' rights.
