Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys
We don't just file - we advise
The heart of our business is to file patent, trade mark and design applications around the world. We craft the applications, guide them through to completion, and handle everything that may happen to the resulting rights: oppositions, assignments, renewals, enforcement… everything. We do this exceptionally well, with a success rate that speaks for itself. And we maintain that quality no matter what the volume of work: we handle portfolios of all sizes, including some with thousands of rights to administer.
As filing applications is one of the main things we do, it may seem strange that we don't think of ourselves as a filing agency. The easy-money cycle of receiving instructions, filing, reporting and invoicing is not difficult - but it’s not good enough. We don't sit back and wait for instructions to roll in; we don't just churn cases through our systems. We know that every job is different. Every client is unique.
So, we question, we challenge, and we advise. What really is your trade mark? What are your revenue streams? Do you really want to file in that country? Why not drop that patent and save money? What will your competitors try when they see your new product? Instead of a trade mark registration, have you thought about a registered design? Is outsourcing best for you, or should you have an IP department in-house? Before we can give the right answers, we have to ask all the right questions.
