Writing patent as a project report or a technical thesis (on your own ) and submitting it to patent office <strong>would be a mistake<\/strong> which can cause loss of opportunity to patent your invention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a quick understanding, you may quickly read some granted patents from your field (domain) and realize that it is a complex document and it completely defers from a thesis or a project report written with ordinary skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>A good patent application should <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Writing a good patent application<\/strong> is one of the most important step in life cycle of a patent and a good patent application written by an experienced patent agent \/ attorney should survive&nbsp;not only through the<a href=\"https:\/\/patentattorneyworldwide.com\/eu\/step-6-examination-of-patent-application\/\"> examination phase<\/a> till the grant of patent but also it should survive the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/patentattorneyworldwide.com\/eu\/how-to-sell-or-license-patent-patent-commercialization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">commercialization phase&nbsp;<\/a>where actual money is made by licensing or selling patent rights, where competitors should not be able to work around your patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing such patent application is a skill and it is explained in detail in our section on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/patentattorneyworldwide.com\/eu\/step-3-patent-drafting-writing\/\">writing  patent application (patent drafting)<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost of patent drafting in Europe<\/strong>&nbsp;: The cost for drafting a patent application in Europe varies in a great deal as it is dependent on multiple factors like field of invention and complexity and the cost can range from EUR 1500 to EUR 6000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time required to draft a patent application in Europe&nbsp;<\/strong>: it takes about 1 to 2 weeks time for a patent attorney to draft an application for an invention.
