We can provide patent searching and landscaping of your competitors, this can help contextualise your own technology roadmap, providing insight into what may be appropriate to investigate patent applications on and focus patented technologies into products against industry lifecycles.
We can set up alerts for patent applications that can indicate competitive moves in your market for your products or services. We work with Patent Attorneys that can raise objections with the Patent Office should it appear that one of your patents may be being infringed. If your patent is registered within the Patent Box the UK government will assist in patent infringement costs. We can help with European Patent Oppositions too, working with our European Patent Attorney associate firms.
An IP audit is a tool for identifying your potential IP assets. We can provide an expert review of your IP, including know how, Trade Secrets, Patent estate, Trademarks and Designs.
We can advise on how to maximise your IP investments, for protection as well as innovation funding and tax savings, identifying technologies being developed in your R&D activity that may be suitable for patent applications. We can also facilitate ideation workshops helping you review R&D investments from a post-tax perspective as well as highlighting developments that can lead to other innovation funding opportunities.
Registering your IP when done well, provides the best possible commercial protection. We can suggest likely technologies for consideration for patenting as well as providing comprehensive invention disclosure forms and agree deeds of assignments for your own Patent Attorney to finalise and file a patent application at the Patent Office.
We assign you an account manager, who will project manage the whole process and coordinate the relevant departments. For companies with multi-country claims, we can manage the process at an individual country level or route all dialogue through your company’s headquarters. We’ll also help with the mapping of international funding opportunities and implementing them in your organisation.
