the physical or chemical elements that compose it, the details of its operation and
any specific characteristic that is essential in its creation, development or use.

● All drawings, diagrams and descriptions that may have independently must also
be included.Wait six months until the result of the study carried out by the IMP is
known and know if it grants the license, which will contain all the rights and
obligations that the creator or inventor must cover.
