The patentability assessment begins with the technical teaching and the question of what specific subject matter is to be protected. To obtain a patent in Georgia, an invention must generally be new, involve an inventive step, and be industrially applicable. The known state of the art and any earlier disclosures must be examined together. A patent search identifies published technical teachings that may be relevant to novelty and inventive step. It should include Sakpatenti’s patent collections as well as worldwide patent and technical publications. The search results help define the protectable core of the invention and its patent claims more precisely. The application requires a complete technical disclosure and clearly worded claims. The inventors and applicant must also be correctly identified, and their rights in the subject matter of the application must be clarified. The filing strategy must determine the priority, target markets, and appropriate route through Sakpatenti, an international procedure, or a European application. Technical documents, search results, ownership of rights, and market planning should therefore be consistent before filing.
Deciding How to Protect an Invention Before Starting a Business in Georgia
Before starting a technology-related business in Georgia, it should be assessed whether the invention concerns patentable technical subject matter and is new, inventive, and industrially applicable. Patent searches, ownership of rights, technical disclosure, and the choice of national or international filing route must be coordinated before filing.
