Patents protect technical inventions, which are new (do not form part of the state of the art), industrially applicable and involve an inventive step (not obvious to a person skilled in the art). Discoveries, scientific theories and mathematical methods, aesthetic creations, schemes, rules and methods for performing mental acts, playing games or doing business, and programs for computers (as such) and presentations of information are not patentable. For more information regarding patentability, please see Chapter I of the European Patent Convention (EPC). Patents grant their owners a right to prevent third parties from commercially making, using, selling or importing the patented invention without the patentee’s consent.
