Patent prosecution and maintenance

Filing is the start, not the end. Patent offices raise objections that need a considered reply, and granted patents lapse if renewal fees are missed. We manage the process: a qualified patent attorney prepares and files the responses to office actions, and we track maintenance and annuities so your protection stays in place.

Who it’s for

  • You have received an office action and need a response before the deadline.
  • Your application is pending and you want it handled through to grant.
  • You hold patents in several countries and want one party tracking the renewals.

What you get

  • Responses to office actions, prepared and filed by a qualified patent attorney and managed by us.
  • Management of maintenance and annuity payments.

Not included

  • Patent attorney fees and official fees, quoted separately.
  • Other third-party costs (for example annuities and local attorney fees).

Third-party costs, taxes and expenses are billed separately unless your proposal states otherwise.
