Patents are essential for protecting your inventions and preventing others from using your technology. We provide all services for a patent application, starting from novelty search and drafting of the application to the grant of a patent.
The products that have gained a certain reputation depending on their quality, raw materials obtained from the region and local qualities should be protected. Registration of geographical indications is the most effective way for protecting the local producers and products originating from specific regions.
The opportunity of protecting your brand with a trademark for an unlimited time complements the rights obtained by a patent. Our services include the design of your logo and filing/prosecuting your trademark application in your markets.
Domain names are an essential part of the internet infrastructure and may be crucial for every business. They provide a human-readable address for any web server available on the internet. In other word for any business, domain name is the address in the virtual world. Our services include obtaining the right domain name for our clients.
Most effective way to protect the shape of your products is through a design application. The originality of your aesthetic creations should be recognized. We provide all necessary actions for your design application, including the preparation of images.
Copyright is the exclusive and assignable legal right, given to the originator for a fixed number of years, to print, publish, perform, film or record literary, artistic or musical material. It is not necessary to file an application to obtain this legal right, however in certain cases a prior registration may be necessary for proof of ownership.
Patent, trademark and design searches are important starting from the beginning of a project till the commercialization of a product. The first thing should be a patent search so that valuable R&D time is not wasted for inventing already existing technologies. The search should continue taking into account also other kinds of intellectual property in order to make sure that third party rights are not being infringed. We are experienced in freedom to operate, prior art, patentability, validity and trademark searches in national and international databases.
The rights for patents, trademarks and designs are secured by registering in countries of interest and the first step for this is the filing of a patent, trademark or a design application. We have an experience in 44 countries in filing of IP rights. This experience enables us to guide you in your countries of interest. Filing is the first step but is not enough to secure your IP rights. The tracking of filed applications in each country and answering communications, in case of objections from the Office, addressing these in a response to the Office are as much important as the filings. Our experience in more than 40 countries enables us to finalize the application procedure as soon as possible with the grant having the best scope of protection.
The patent, trademark and design rights can be commercialized by giving licences or selling to interested parties. The determination of value of these rights is essential for these kind of transactions. Patents are for novel inventions so by definition they don’t have a similar counterpart which makes them the most challenging IP rights for valuation. We are experienced in valuation of all IP rights, which enables our clients to make the best decisions in IP transfers or licence agreements.
The granted IP rights may be the subject of Litigation or Opposition in different countries. Oppositions are generally dealt in the Office of Filing after the grant of the IP right, but in some jurisdictions before grant. Litigations are the court proceedings in which infringement or validity of patents, trademarks and designs are challenged. Our legal and technical skills together with our experience in different countries, extend to all actions whether it is before the Office, before the National Courts or the newly- established Unified Patent Court.
