Patent Searching and Landscaping
These services provide you with crucial insights into your competitors’ technology and patent activities. By analysing their patents, we help you understand the landscape in which your research and development (R&D) efforts operate. This analysis helps you understand your own R&D output and pipelines, allowing you to make informed decisions on which areas are worth filing patent applications for.

Patent Watching and Observing
We offer alert services for patent applications that may affect your products or services. We can help you submit observations to the Patent Office before the patent application is granted. Additionally, we provide assistance with European Patent Oppositions through our network of European Patent Attorney associate firms.

Patent Strategy Advice
We can provide advice on how to monetise your Intellectual Property, identify possible partners and identify why, on what subject matter, when and where you should file patent applications. We can also facilitate ideation workshops and help you capture more of the inventions your staff are generating.

Patent Drafting and Filing
Maximum possible commercial protection is achieved by registering your IP. We can either prepare patent specifications to be filed by our Patent Attorney partners or prepare full Invention Disclosures for your own Patent Attorney to finalise and file at a Patent Office. Both options have the potential to save considerable Patent Attorney time and costs.
