IPO CZ carries out patent granting procedure resulting from patent application that can be filed by the inventor or by a person; this right was transferred to by the inventor. Patent applications ordinarily follow a set form which must also include a description of the invention and optionally (if necessary) related drawings and so called patent claims. The claims precisely define the subject-matter, for which the protection is requested. Application forms are available in the filing room of the IPO CZ and can also be downloaded from the IPO CZ website. Applications can be filed in person, by post or electronically.
The Office web sites http://www.upv.cz/en.html are the rich source of information.
