Stages of registering a patent in Israel

a. The process starts with filing of a patent application with the Israel Patent Office in Jerusalem. The filing fee includes the search and examination fees.

A patent application includes a text describing the invention, drawings, claims and a receipt of filing fee payment; all according to Patents Law 5727-1967 and Patent Regulations.

b. Filed patent application await their turn at examination, about 2 years, unless accelerated examination was approved. When examination starts, the patents examiner performs a patents search and verifies whether the patent application complies with all the requirements for patentability per the Patents Law and Regulations.

c. An Examination Report is accordingly sent to the applicant (the owner of the rights in the patent application). The Report indicates issues which prevent a patent grant, or announces that the patent application meets all the requirements, so it's possible to proceed towards a patent grant.

d. Upon detection of faults in the application, a dialog begins between the examiner and the applicant, in order to correct the faults and/ or to persuade the examiner to allow the application. The applicant can communicate himself with the examiner, or via a patent attorney.

e. At the end of the dialog, if the examiner isn't persuaded, the patent application becomes abandoned.

f. If the examiner is persuaded to allow the application, an announcement re the allowance is published in the PATENTS JOURNAL, the official publication of the Patents Office.

g. During a period of 3 months, anyone can oppose to grant of patent, by written notice to the Registrar.

h. If no opposition is filed, a patent is granted. If an opposition is filed, the issues raised are considered at the Patents Office; at the end of the process, either a patent is granted- or not.

i. The patent granted may remain in force up to 20 years from the date of filing, provided all the renewal fees are timely paid.

Timely answering to Office Actions and performing all the payments per Patents Law and Regulations are mandatory in order to get a patent and maintain it in force.

Benefits of a patent in Israel

A patent can improve your chances of success in business and your profits, if the business is in Israel. The patent gives you the right to prevent others from manufacturing, selling or importing the product protected by your patent.

If others have patents that may interfere with your business, your patent may be used to achieve freedom to operate, using for example Cross-Licensing agreements.

If your application is allowed for patent in Israel, you can accordingly ask for an accelerated examination in other countries, based on treaties to which Israel is party,
PPH - Patent Prosecution Highway, and
GPPH - Global PPH

The PPH/GPPH venue allows you to achieve patent grants in other countries, easier and in a shorter time period.
This venue can be used without a PCT patent application.
