Novelty as a determining requirement.
Before proceeding with any executive activity, we recommend proceeding with prior art searches in order to avoid, where possible, the risk that third party rights are not infringed. In fact, the law protects those who produce innovation, that is NEW.
The novelty is therefore the decisive requirement, even if not the only one, to obtain a valid concession as contemplated in the Industrial Property Code:
- Novelty in the Patent: Art. 46 CPI
- Novelty in Design: Art. 32 CPI
- Novelty in the trademark Art. 12 CPI
