Presentation Transcript

  1. PRV • 200 examiners • 4 800 national patent applications • Search report within 8 months • Average pendancy 2½ years • 4 700 PCT applications (Chapter I) • A2: < 10% • 3 800 PCT applications (Chapter II)

  2. Production problems • Increasing demand • Staff turnover

  3. Strategy • Productivity • Decentralised management • Focus on the individual • Competence matching • Intensified recruiting • Non-bureaucratic • Special unit • Universities • www.prv.se

  4. Trends • IPR more and more in focus • PCT quality appreciated broadly • Increasing applicant orientation • Thus, applying for patents gaining in popularity, which leads to • increasing work loads • increasing costs

  5. What will reduce back-logs and pendancy times? • Increased production • More resources • More efficient methods • Decreased demand • i.e. fewer applications

  6. It is the object of the patent system to protect the intellectual capital of innovative companies • The future of the industrialised countries depends on these companies • Therefore, all valuable inventions should be protected

  7. The situation in SME:s A high number of existing patents create high costs for SME:s in their role as third parties

  8. The apparent conflict can be solved by raising the required level of inventive step Every second application (on average) should be rejected
