Patenting and IPR

 

Patentability opinions

In view of the prior art already known by the client or retrieved in a search, econsultants can provide an opinion regarding the patentability of the invention and the scope of protection that can be expected.

 

Drafting of patent applications

A patent application is drafted on the base of the information on the invention supplied by the client —in writing or in a personal interview—, and prior art documents already known by the client or retrieved in a search.
Preferably, a patent application is drafted following the conclusions of a patentability opinion.

 

Patent prosecution

econsultants take care of your applications worldwide, through our associates.
Throughout the proceedings, we provide technical assistance whenever necessary, in order to ensure that our client obtains the best possible protection.
Deadlines, payments and other formal issues are securely monitored by our computerized IP case management system (Patricia, from PatrixAB), which also provides clear and tailored reports of any client's patents.

 

Freedom of operation opinions, infringement and validity reports

econsultants evaluate the validity of patent claims, as well as the risk of infringement of third party rights by a particular product or activity, prior to the launch of a new product on the market, or in case of a suspected copy by a competitor.
We provide reports both for our client's information and for court actions.

 

Oppositions and appeals

econsultants deliver technical and formal assistance to our clients in opposition or appeal proceedings. 
We file notices of opposition and appeal and draft the corresponding grounds and arguments. Xx also draft and file third-party observations on behalf of our clients.
