Our Services

Patent

From novelty search to filing an application and prosecution, we cover all phases of acquiring an European patent with the EPO.

Trademark

The best way to protect your brand in the European market is to file an EU trademark with the EUIPO. We can provide guidance to make this process easy and quick.

Design

Registration of RCDs (Registered Community Designs) is an effective way to ensure protection of the visual appearance of your product. 

IP Strategy

With our experience in the industry as engineers and in-house patent counsels, we are best positioned to advise an efficient IP strategy, including a tailored portfolio management for your company.

FTO

Freedom to Operate investigations assess the risk of possible patent infringements. We also advise on alternative strategies to prevent unnecessary legal conflicts.

If a third party opposes your patent post-grant, we can help you defend your patent rights. We also support appeals to EPO decisions at various stages.
