Patent Annuities
Handling patent annuities can be a time consuming process and as your portfolio increases in size it also increases in complexity. We offer a simple solution, managing all necessary payments on your behalf as well as keeping track of upcoming deadlines. Different countries have different lifecycle requirements for patent annuity fees and many jurisdictions have their own individual rules to ensure full uninterrupted protection of IP rights. For those with an IP Portfolio that has more complex requirements, our experts can assist you throughout the renewals process with detailed insight into all local and international legislation, procedures and obligations. Our state of the art online platform is designed for the management of IP Rights and we offer security, confidentiality and cost effectiveness as well as fully customisable solutions dependent on your needs and portfolio size.
Full transparency and quality assurance across the entire IP lifecycle
Much of the process can be automated for improved efficiency but you can rest assured because we offer full process liability and our skilled in-house personnel will approve all changes under the ‘four –eyes’ principle , ensuring errors are caught before they present any problems. We can offer guidance on the relevance of your portfolio, identifying patents and other IP rights that may no longer be suitable or fit for purpose, reducing official renewal fees and management costs in the process. We can also advise on renewals strategy, helping you to identify the most efficient approach to managing your IP requirements.
