Registration of Patents

The new legal framework regarding the Andorran patent is part of the process of Andorra’s economic liberalisation and international harmonisation. This new tool available to innovative companies makes it possible to protect our clients’ inventions within the Principality, whether natural or legal persons, in any field of industry.
To keep a patent in force the holder must pay annuities to the patent office. In the case of the Andorran patent, these annuities entail much lower costs than in most countries, which represents an incentive for innovative companies to protect their inventions.
