“I turned my hobby of crème/lotion making into reality.

I made a lemon crème/lotion that is showing very good results on the skin. Now that I have the right mixture of ingredients together with the process for how to make it, I would like to request a patent for my crème. What are the requirements?”

Do I need to register?

Not sure if your work can be registered? Not all created work and inventions require formal registrations. Via the self-assessment questionnaire you can easily find out if your work requires registration.

Why register?

Registration can make it easier to prove a claim, speed up decisions and reduce legal costs in future plagiarism or infringement disputes.  Trademark, Patent, i-Envelope, ISBN
