A patent gives the Patentee the right to exclude others from exploiting an invention.
 
Monitoring of competitors’ patent activity

It is as important to get sole rights as it is to constantly check that you do not infringe others’ rights. We assist you in designing a monitoring profile, for monitoring competitor´s relevant technical fields. By doing so, you can also get a reasonable idea of current development trends and build up your own library of documents.

Prior search before patent applications

Especially if you do not have up to date knowledge of relevant technology, through constant monitoring, it is a good idea to do a novelty search for a project which you want to protect with one or several patent applications. This means that you can generally avoid unpleasant surprises, the patent application can be better formulated and the chance of arriving at a patent without complications increases. A prior search is a good investment.

Patent applications

One of our important tasks is to draft specifications for patent applications. If you do it right the first time with well-balanced patent claims and a well-formulated description further work can be made more cost-effective. For this reason, we put a lot of effort into drafting patent specifications to facilitate subsequent patenting in other countries. We do this in close consultation with the client and the inventors.

Patenting abroad

Many companies have international markets these days. We assist with:
International patent applications, i.e. PCT applications, European patent applications which we handle directly before the European Patent Office (EPO), and National patent applications in other countries through our global network of associates.
 

Further processing

Patent applications generally take a long time to process by the public authorities. We track the application from start to finish, advise, remind, revise, send instructions to associates abroad, monitor time limits and give advice in the meantime.
 

Patent infringement

If our client discovers that a competitor makes use of the claimed invention, we can analyse the situation and warn for infringement or initiate a law suit.
