Patent applications
If you have a technical solution, new product, device, production method, or improvement, you can protect it with a patent application. On Tyoon you can find a specialist to assess the idea, prepare documents, and file in Finland, Europe, or internationally.
A patent application is not just an idea write-up. You must define what to protect, how your solution differs from prior art, and which features belong in the claims. Quality of preparation often decides whether you get real protection or only filed papers.
In Finland national applications go to the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH). Before preparing a filing, a patent search is recommended to check for similar solutions in your field.
How a specialist can help
A provider can help you:
- assess whether the idea suits patent protection
- run a preliminary patent search
- check novelty and differences from prior art
- draft the invention description
- draft patent claims
- prepare drawings and technical materials
- choose a filing strategy: Finland, Europe, or international
- file with the right office
- respond to office actions after filing
- explain next steps and likely costs
Note: a specialist helps prepare and file, but the office decides whether a patent is granted after examination.
Who this service suits
It fits if you:
- developed a new technical solution
- are building a startup or tech product
- want to protect a device, mechanism, composition, method, or process
- plan to attract investors
- want protection before market launch
- fear the idea may be copied
- want to know if filing is worthwhile
Patent protection matters most when the invention has commercial value, is used in production, or will be sold, licensed, or shown to investors.
Why not file without preparation
Patent applications need precise wording. Too narrow claims are easy to design around; too broad claims may be refused for lack of novelty or inventive step.
Do not disclose the invention publicly before filing. Website posts, pitches, sales, or open discussion can affect patentability—consult a specialist before going public.
What filing costs
Cost depends on country, application type, and work scope. There are official fees plus the specialist’s fee.
In Finland applications can be filed electronically, by post, or via secure email. PRH’s online service handles Finnish patents, utility models, office-action replies, and related documents.
International filings cost more. For PCT applications from 1 April 2026 the search fee is EUR 1,885 and the international filing fee EUR 1,428.
Sometimes a utility model fits instead of a patent. In Finland online utility model registration is EUR 250 and covers the first four years of protection.
Post a task on Tyoon
Describe your idea in general terms, the field of use, and whether you need advice only, a search, or full application prep. Providers will explain steps and guide on cost.
Do not put technical invention details in the public task text. State field, solution type, and help needed; share details with the chosen specialist separately.
FAQ
What can be patented?
Patents usually protect technical solutions: devices, mechanisms, methods, processes, compositions, materials, or technical improvements. A bare idea without a technical solution is generally not patentable.
Should I do a patent search before filing?
Yes, it is advisable. A search shows whether similar solutions exist, how novel your idea is, and whether a full application is worth the cost.
Can I file a patent application myself?
In theory yes, but in practice claims and descriptions need specialist wording. Errors can weaken protection or lead to refusal.
How does a patent differ from a utility model?
A patent usually gives stronger protection but the procedure can be longer and harder. A utility model often suits simpler technical solutions and can be cheaper to start with.
Can I file in Finland first and expand protection later?
Yes. Many file nationally first, then decide on European or international routes. Priority deadlines must be watched.
Can I disclose the invention before filing?
Better not to publish technical details publicly before filing. Open disclosure can harm patentability.
Does Tyoon file patents itself?
Tyoon helps you find a provider. Filing, document preparation, and advice are done by the specialist or firm you choose.
