After Grant of Patent: Right of the patentee<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Right of patentee after grant of patent:<\/strong> After the grant of a patent, the patentee is granted exclusive rights to the invention which includes the right to prevent others from making, using, selling, or importing the patented invention without the patentee’s permission, for a specified period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grant of patent confers \u201cthe right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the designated country in which the patent is granted\u201d the term of the patent shall be generally 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was first filed (priority date).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your patent application is to be granted by EPO, the grant procedure has 2 steps <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. EPO should grant the patent and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The patent should be validated in countries of your interest.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"countries<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Communication under Rule 71(3)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is a letter from the EPO which indicates that the application is allowable. A copy of the text for the patent proposed by the EPO is attached to the communication, often including amendments proposed by the Examiner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Decision to Grant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After a response to the communication under Rule 71(3) approving the text is filed, the EPO will issue another communication, the \u201cDecision to Grant\u201d. This letter informs us that the EPO will now issue the \u201cCertificate of Grant\u201d and publish details of the grant of the patent in the European Bulletin. The Decision to Grant informs about effective date of grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Issue of the grant certificate and opposition period<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When the certificate of grant of the patent has been issued, it will be sent on to you. There is also an opposition period of nine months from the date of grant<\/strong> in which third parties may file an opposition to your patent. If this were to happen we would inform you immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Validation of the patent in selected designated countries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Within 3 months<\/strong> of the date of the grant, all necessary action must be taken in selected designated countries in order to give effect to your patent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Translations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Almost all EPC\u2008countries require full translations of the specifications to be filed at their Patent Office in one of their national languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The European patent is published at grant. Countries will also publish the translations in their national language. When validation is complete, the patent will be in force in each of your selected countries. <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"after<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    It is important to note that, it is the \u201cright to exclude\u201d. <\/strong>The patent does not grant the right to make, use, offer for sale or sell or import the invention but only grants the exclusive nature of the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since the patent does not<\/strong> grant the right to make, use, offer for sale, or sell, or import the invention, hence if you want to practice your own invention, you need to check if by practicing your invention are you breaking the rights (IPRs) of others ? or are you breaking any other relevant law?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is important to consider this question and then only proceed with practicing the invention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    that’s what it means by “right to exclude” and it does not automatically mean as a patentee you have the right to practice your invention. (especially if it is infringing on other patents in that field)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
