you held a creation or piece of information at a specific date. It therefore serves as proof of prior existence. A patent, by contrast, is an industrial property right granted by a competent authority, conferring an exclusive right to exploit an invention. Evidence of prior existence may strengthen a legal position in the event of a dispute, but it does not replace a formal intellectual property right such as a patent, which provides enforceable exclusive rights. Prior possession primarily demonstrates that a creation or development existed before a given date, whereas a patent grants the recognised right to protect, exploit or prevent third parties from exploiting the invention.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=\u201dWhy is it important to prove prior existence?\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.27.4\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d title_text_color=\u201d#0c0171\u2033 title_level=\u201dh3\u2033 title_font=\u201dPoppins|300|||||||\u201d title_font_size=\u201d28px\u201d title_line_height=\u201d1.3em\u201d body_font=\u201d||||||||\u201d body_font_size=\u201d18px\u201d body_line_height=\u201d1.4em\u201d background_color=\u201d#FFFFFF\u201d custom_padding=\u201d40px||0px||false|false\u201d title_font_size_tablet=\u201d\u201d title_font_size_phone=\u201d20px\u201d title_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d body_font_size_tablet=\u201d18px\u201d body_font_size_phone=\u201d17px\u201d body_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d border_width_all=\u201d0px\u201d border_width_top=\u201d1px\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]<\/p>\n<p>Proving prior existence helps secure the legal position of your creations, designs or research before they are disclosed or publicly exploited.
