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.
Before filing
We start with an in-depth consultation to find the best solution in terms of cost/benefit based on your needs and your particular situation. We then verify the patentability requirements, and draft the specific documentation and develop a patent text that maximises the effectiveness of the protection of the invention.
- Novelty searches and interference analysis
- Patentability analysis of findings
- Drafting / Preparation (texts, drawings, forms, translations)
Filing and grant phase
We analyse together with you the best filing strategy based on the protection objectives sought and, trying to anticipate any future situation, we prepare the responses to the examiners to overcome any objections to the grant of the patent.
- Filing in Italy of invention patents and utility models
- Extension abroad through national foreign filings, European Patent applications or international patent applications (or PCT applications)
- Examination of any official actions, preparation and filing of replies
- Administrative management of all deadlines connected to the right and sending of the relevant notices
After the grant
We are a point of reference also in the post-grant phase; you can rely on us for all the practices that include the management of maintenance fees or the management of any oppositions and/or disputes.
- Management of both active and passive oppositions
- Technical consulting in nullity and revocation actions
- Interference or infringement assessment
- Assistance in the negotiation phase and drafting in the case of contracts and/or agreements
