We can represent you directly at the UK Intellectual Property Office and the European Patent Office.  We can file and prosecute “International” Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patent applications for you. And, through our network of overseas patent attorneys, we can obtain patent protection for you around the world.

• Preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications throughout the world.

• Defending patents from opposition and revocation attacks.
• Conducting and advising on novelty and infringement clearance searches.
