Patent services

We add value by using our knowledge of our clients’ businesses to get the focused protection they need, using creative filing strategies to circumnavigate the prior art, rather than treating patent prosecution as an academic exercise. Our clients apply the successful outcomes we deliver in Europe to their global patent portfolios to give a cost-effective, streamlined and consistent approach for getting defensible protection worldwide.

Drafting & Prosecution of a patent

We offer Drafting and Filing of a European Patent application and Prosecution before the European Patent Office (EPO), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or before the Bulgarian Patent Office (BPO). Patent drafting is the core of your patent application. It covers the description of your patent. The quality of drafting your innovations is crucial to how successful your patent will be after it has been granted. Filing your patent/utility model application with the proper international or national authority has to be done with timing and accuracy.

Validation

The validation process makes your European patent valid in the markets you have chosen to be active in. Validation is an administrative but a mandatory step after the grant of your European patent.

Opposition & Appeal proceedings

We offer Patent/non-patent search for an opposition, Drafting and filing of an opposition or an appeal. Opposition proceedings before the European Patent Office (EPO) take place after a European patent has been granted. Defending your own patents or attacking your competitor’s is crucial for your business position. An appeal can be filed against decisions of the departments of first instance (opposition division) of the EPO. Decisions can be a rejection of your application or a revocation of one of your patents following opposition proceedings. These decisions can be challenged.

Euro-PCT

The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) allows you to cover more than 150 countries with a single patent application. The PCT application system make sure that you cover the markets your strategy is directed towards. We offer Drafting and filing of a PCT application and Prosecution of a Euro-PCT application before the European Patent Office (EPO). Filing your patent application with the proper international or national authority has to be done with timing and accuracy.

Unitary Patent

Patent Litigation

Disputes over patents are common in the world of IP. Someone might be infringing one of your patents or you might be threatened with legal action yourself. In either case, you need a strong team of patent attorneys with both technical expertise and legal experience.

Patent litigation includes infringement actions, FTO and validity opinions, pre-court actions, preliminary injunctions and injunctive relief, actions on the merits, enforcement, invalidity actions and counterclaims for revocation as well as oppositions.

FTO

Beware of other patents in your technical field – get freedom to operate. As a part of your risk management the freedom-to-operate analysis is key. It gives you valuable insight about other patents in your technology field and minimises your risk to infringe other patents with your new invention.

Due Diligence

IP rights can be one of the most important assets in a company. The due diligence analysis can be used if a company acquires or merges with another company. Due diligence is also highly relevant when you are looking for partners or if they are looking for you.
