Patent rights are only applicable to the territory in which it is registered. If you take your product or invention into another territory, it will not be protected, unless you apply for a patent in this territory as well. Pretoria lawyers Smit & Van Wyk Incorporated deal exclusively with intellectual property, including all legal matters relating to patent registration and management. They have the necessary expertise to assist you in registering your patent not only locally, but also in territories abroad if so required.

There is no such thing as a “worldwide” patent – you have to file a patent application in each country in which you wish to protect your invention. You may file foreign patent applications based on your South African provisional patent application within 12 months of filing the latter. You also have options which allow you to keep your rights open in most foreign countries before finally deciding on such countries. Contact Smit & Van Wyk Incorporated, the Pretoria lawyers with the international connections, with any queries regarding intellectual property.
