Patent Agency
Drafting determines the scope you get
Two applications for the same invention can produce very different protection depending on how the claims are written. Our work begins with the technical disclosure, not with the form.
Patent types we handle
- Invention patent — 20 years, for new technical solutions, methods and compositions
- Utility model — 10 years, for structural improvements to a product
- Design patent — 15 years, for the appearance of a product
Scope of work:
- Technical disclosure review and prior-art search
- Claim drafting and specification preparation
- Filing, publication and substantive examination requests
- Office action responses and claim amendments
- Annual fee monitoring and reinstatement where a deadline was missed
Disclosure discipline
Public disclosure before filing destroys novelty in most cases. If you have already exhibited or published, tell us immediately — there are limited grace periods and they must be argued, not assumed.
Invention or utility model
Utility models are granted faster and with lower examination cost, but cover structure only. The choice should follow the invention, not the budget.
Employee inventions
Ownership follows the employment relationship. We advise on the agreements and reward policies that keep that chain intact.
What we need from you
A description of the problem the invention solves, the structure or steps that produce the effect, and any drawings or test data you already have. We will ask specific questions rather than send a generic form.
