Obtaining a patent in France: the patent application

After checking the patentability of your invention and ensuring its confidentiality, you have decided to apply for a patent at the INPI. Careful drafting of this application is essential, as it sets the framework for the protection you are seeking, and hence the analysis of its validity.

While some elements can be modified during the examination procedure, others are immutable and, if badly drafted, can lead to the reduction or even loss of the protection envisaged.

This guide will help you prepare your patent application to INPI.
