Confidentiality

An invention can no longer be protected with a patent if it has been made public before the patent application. You must keep your invention confidential until this time. This also applies to discussions with potential investors. All too often have we found out that an inventor had already publicised his idea, as a result of which protection was no longer possible, or was possible to a restricted extent only.

Your Arnold + Siedsma specialist is automatically legally obliged to maintain confidentiality and is therefore one of the few specialists that you can immediately call upon.

Our lawyers and patent attorneys can draw up a confidentiality agreement for you, so that you are nevertheless able to talk to another party without jeopardising the confidentiality.
