Reality without ptntpwr

Patents wait for no one

Most founders find out too late. The patent system has no sympathy for good timing, good ideas, or good intentions. It only recognises one thing. Who filed first.

Don’t make the same mistake.

Claim your idea
Patent rights go to the first to file. File your idea now, and nobody else can touch it.
Patents are an investor’s soft spot
Patent status signals defensibility to VCs and acquirers, assisting the fundraising discussion.
Grant providers love IP
Innovate UK, Horizon Europe, and EIC grants reward applicants with active IP. Some require it.

Your priority date is the official date your invention enters the patent system. From that moment, no one else can file the same idea and claim priority over you. For fundraising, it changes one conversation: instead of "we're planning to file," you can say "we filed in March." That is a different answer to a different question.

Time is critical in this case. In most jurisdictions, a public disclosure before filing can jeopardize your patent rights. Contact us as soon as possible. We may still be able to help, depending on the circumstances and timing.

You can file yourself. But a patent is only as strong as its claims, and claims are where most self-filed applications fail. A poorly drafted patent can be designed around or invalidated entirely. ptntpwr gives you a qualified European patent attorney reviewing every filing, without the hourly rate.

Prio secures your priority date and gets you an EPO search report: feedback of the European patent administration on your invention’s patentability, within your budget. World includes everything in Prio, plus a PCT filing at month 12 that keeps protection open in 150+ countries for up to 18 months. Both are flat-fee, no surprises.

Three criteria matter: your invention must be new, it must not be obvious to someone working in the same field, and it must have a practical use. If you can say yes to all three, it is worth a conversation. ptntpwr includes a free patentability check before you commit to anything.
