Anyone claiming one of the following, may
apply for a patent:
1-
New innovation in a new
industrial product.
2-
Discovery of a new means/method or using an existing
means/method to achieve a new result or product in industry,
agriculture etc.
3- Priority based on a foreign application/patent
The first person applying for the
registration of an invention, in accordance with the law,
shall be considered the inventor of the patent, unless proven
otherwise. Furthermore, the owner of a patent based on a
foreign patent (patent of importation), cannot apply to the
court for an injunction against infringements that had been
initiated prior to their application. Therefore, immediate
application for a patent is of vital importance. However, due
consideration should be paid to non-patentable subject
matters, namely:
1-
Financial schemes.
2-
Any invention or improvement of an
existing invention contrary to public policy, public morals or
public health.
