Guarding Your Intellectual Assets

Our expert team can conduct a thorough analysis of your idea to determine whether it qualifies for IP protection. For example, patents require that an invention is novel, non-obvious, and useful. Trademarks must be distinctive, and copyright protection applies to original works.

• Patent: The process includes preparing a detailed patent application, filing it with the relevant patent office, and undergoing an examination process. Once approved, the patent grants exclusive rights for a specific period..
• Trademark: The trademark application involves searching existing trademarks for conflicts, submitting an application to the relevant trademark office, and receiving approval upon examination.

The main types of intellectual property include:

• Patents typically last for 20 years from the filing date (subject to maintenance fees).
• Trademarks can last indefinitely, as long as they are renewed periodically (usually every 10 years).
• Copyrights last for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years in most countries.
• Trade secrets are protected as long as the information remains confidential.

Yes! IP protection can be extended internationally through various treaties and systems, such as the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for patents and the Madrid System for trademarks. We can guide you through the process of protecting your IP worldwide.

If someone infringes on your intellectual property rights, we can help you explore legal options such as cease-and-desist letters, negotiations, or litigation. Our team works to protect your IP and enforce your rights.

You can monetize your IP by licensing it to other businesses, selling it outright, or using it to enhance your brand’s value. We can assist you with drafting licensing agreements and strategies to maximize the commercial potential of your IP.

While it's possible to file for some types of IP protection independently, working with an experienced IP attorney can help ensure that your application is complete, accurate, and has the best chance of success. We offer expert legal guidance throughout the process.

A patent search is conducted to determine whether your invention is novel and hasn’t been patented by someone else. It’s a critical step before filing for a patent, as it helps identify potential conflicts and strengthens your application.

The cost of IP protection can vary depending on the type of protection (patent, trademark, copyright, etc.), the complexity of the case, and the jurisdiction in which you’re seeking protection. We offer transparent pricing and work with you to develop cost-effective strategies.

IP rights require ongoing maintenance. For example, patents may need to be renewed, trademarks need to be monitored for infringements, and trade secrets require consistent confidentiality protocols. Our team offers support to ensure your IP remains protected and up-to-date..
