- International Patent Filing and Registration
In an increasingly borderless world, safeguarding your invention across jurisdictions is vital. International Patent Filing enables innovators to establish protection beyond their home country via the international patent application filing process. Whether your innovation is in the US, Europe, India or elsewhere, securing international patent protection gives you peace of mind and a competitive edge on a global scale.
Our international patent law firm offers tailored solutions to optimise your filing strategy, support you through complex procedures, and anchor your innovation with legally sound protection.
Our international patent attorneys specialise in crafting effective global patent portfolios. They align your invention disclosure with PCT requirements and navigate varied national laws effortlessly. Competent legal counsel ensures:
Before filing, conduct a thorough patentability search. Your international patent lawyer evaluates novelty, inventive step, and commercial value across relevant jurisdictions.
A single international patent application process under the PCT gives you up to 30/31 months to decide the national phase. We prepare and file it, coordinating with the International Bureau and ensuring formal and technical compliance.
After the PCT phase, we manage international patent registration across selected jurisdictions. This includes responding to office actions, translating claims where needed, and ensuring deadlines are met.
Once patents grant, upkeep via annuity payments and compliance check-ins become crucial. Our team handles global patent maintenance while you focus on innovation.
