CAPABILITIES
Patent portfolio management
Managing a patent portfolio is more than meeting deadlines and paying fees. With so many administrative tasks and potential risks involved, it’s no wonder why many companies turn to legal experts for support. Our formalities officers become an extension of your own team, safeguarding your invention so you can continue to innovate with confidence. Avoid costly oversights and protect your rights for the long run with well-managed patents.

Behind every successful innovation is a professionally managed patent portfolio: stay focused on innovation while we safeguard your IP.
Your innovation, protected for the long run
No deadlines missed
Leave the management of your intellectual property in the hands of experts. Our portfolio management takes care of administrative patent burdens that keep your innovation shielded for the future. While your team stays focused on developing innovations, we keep track of deadlines, renewal payments and all the details that secure your IP in the long run.
Preventing lapsed patents
If patents aren’t renewed on time, they lapse, allowing anyone to use, produce or sell the invention. Our proactive management provides a safety net to ensure you never lose your rights due to an overlooked deadline or procedure. A well-organised portfolio allows for seamless tracking of each patent so you can preserve the total value of your IP.
Expert legal support
We make navigating the complex legal landscape seamless and stress-free. Legal support prevents costly lapses and protects your intellectual property from imitators. Strategic counsel on compliance, patent enforcement and risk mitigation ensures your portfolio remains aligned with business goals and resilient to legal challenges.
Strategic growth, protected
Your patent portfolio is a living, breathing ecosystem that requires regular audits to assess the strength of your assets. This process includes reviewing the performance of individual patents, evaluating new market trends and adjusting your strategy to align with business objectives.
