Our team can assist you across all areas of patent management and protection, including:
For many companies, IP management is confusing and time-consuming. Businesses often assume patents are the best form of protection and consequently file and maintain patent applications in lieu of more appropriate and cost-effective forms of protection. We see this often and it can lead to unnecessary expense, weak protection and worthless IP.
Consequently, our first duty to you is to help you assess whether patents are in fact the most suitable protection for your IP – this is part of our IP strategy service. If they are, then we can manage the application and filing process for you via our patent specialists, and/or help you effectively manage your existing patents.
If patents are definitely the right IP protection for your assets, our patent lawyers can help secure the most effective patent protection for your intellectual property portfolio.
We can help you from beginning to end:
Through our intellectual property management and strategy service, we can appraise your existing IP and plan for the most cost effective form of protection for you, whether that’s patents, trade marks, registered designs, copyright or trade secrets.
We consider all forms of IP and can file new applications, maintain existing applications and draft all the necessary documents and agreements for you.
Importantly, we also provide you with regular, clear and simple status updates, as well as a full review of the costs, forecasts and summaries for all your internal and external reporting obligations.
As well as strategy, we also advise on maximising the profitability of your patents.
We work for clients in IT, healthcare, life sciences, engineering, telecommunications, ecommerce, retail and much more.
Businesses of all sizes, from entrepreneurs, start-ups and SMEs to large multinationals, benefit from our unique remote-operating model which in turn enables our transparent low-cost pricing packages.
Our intellectual property team have guided numerous companies from start-up through to exit, as well as experience of taking patent and trade mark cases through to the High Court and Court of Appeal.
We also have a great understanding of the investment and the venture capital sector, so we make sure our advice fits with your long-term strategic objectives.
Our solicitors have all been recruited from top 100 UK law firms or large international businesses, and each have more than 10 years post-qualifying experience. Find out more about our patents team here:
