Overview
This skill covers the end-to-end patent process in Israel as administered by the Israeli Patent Office (ILPO, also known as Rashut HaPatenTim - רשות הפטנטים). It is scoped to:
- National patent application filing under the Israeli Patents Law, 5727-1967
- Prior art search using ILPO's public database and international resources
- PCT international filing routed through ILPO as Receiving Office
- Official fee schedule, the 40% reduction for qualifying applicants, and maintenance fee structure
- Patent Term Extension (PTE) for pharmaceutical products under Israeli law
- Key deadlines, the Section 18 Notice prior to Examination, objection windows, and IDS (Information Disclosure Statement) obligations unique to Israeli practice
This skill does NOT cover trademark registration, industrial design registration, copyright, or utility model protection. It does not replace a licensed Israeli patent attorney for prosecution decisions.
