• Announcing that a product is patented forces the competition to investigate the patent that
protects it, and well, to look for an alternative, or to opt for another line of business. This
phenomenon is especially effective during international filing periods in which it is not known
with certainty whether the patent will be granted, and the conditions and countries where it will
be granted.
The advantages of patenting: aspects to consider
As you have seen, KHolder patenting has numerous advantages for every entrepreneur who
wants to take advantage of their products and technological developments.
Of course, patenting is not the exclusive prerogative of large firms and multinationals (as is often
mistakenly thought). For a SME, when it comes to growing and internationalizing, going to the
market without adequate protection of its assets could be fatal, not to mention the fact that in the
face of potential investors the exclusivity of the business needs to be guaranteed.
Finally, we remember that filing a patent application is something that requires technical
knowledge and experience.
These documents generally indicate the name and address of the applicant, owner and inventor.
This last advantage is of greater interest if it is considered from a commercial point of view, that
is, if what you want is to locate possible technological sources, know the competitive
environment of a market or follows the activities of a certain company or, perhaps, most
importantly, accesses a license.
