Patents

WE PROTECT

YOUR IDEAS

Your ideas are a valuable asset and as such should be protected with care.
Filing a patent and its consequent protection is a complex process in which we will guide you, step by step, with the solution most suitable for you. We guide you every step of the way.

01 Before filing

We start with an in-depth consultation in order to find the best solution in terms of costs/benefits, based on your needs and particular situation.

Subsequently, we verify the patentability requirements and then draw up specific documentation and draft a patent text that maximise invention protection effectiveness.

  • Novelty research and interference analysis
  • Innovation patentability analysis.
  • Drafting / Preparation (texts, drawings, forms, translations)

02 Filing and granting phase

Together with you, we analyse the best filing strategy according to the protection objectives sought and, trying to anticipate any future situation, we prepare the answers to the examiners in order to overcome any objections to granting the patent.

  • Filing in Italy of patents for inventions and utility models
  • Filing abroad through foreign national, European patent or international (or PCT) patent applications
  • Review of eventual official actions, preparation and filing of responses
  • Management and monitoring of all deadlines and transmission of related notices

03 After granting

We are also a point of reference in the phase following granting; you can rely on us for all formalities that include maintenance fee management or management of any objections and/or litigation.

  • Oppositions management (active or passive, as well)
  • Technical consultancy in nullification and revocation actions
  • Interference or counterfeiting advice
  • Assistance during negotiations and drafting in the event of contracts and/or agreements (see other services)
  • Administrative management of maintenance fee payments
  • Formalisation for owner changes of name, transfers, mergers and any other amendments (see other services)
