Patent Prosecution: Securing Your Innovations

If you’re an inventor, securing your innovations with patents is paramount. Patent prosecution is the process of obtaining a patent to protect your innovations. It begins with filing an application, which must meet specific legal and technical requirements. The patent then undergoes examination to ensure it complies with patent laws. Finally, to maintain your patent’s exclusivity, you must pay maintenance fees at regular intervals to prevent premature expiration.

 

Trademark Registration: Safeguarding Your Brand Integrity

Trademark registration plays a crucial role in protecting a business’s brand identity in various ways. Firstly, having a registered trademark strongly deters people from copying your brand because it shows you’re serious about protecting it. This can prevent others from using a similar name or logo, reducing the chances of copying.

Secondly, when your trademark is officially recorded, it tells everyone that your brand is protected. It’s like a warning sign to anyone thinking of copying it. This helps you act quickly if someone tries to copy your brand. Our team of experts specializes in national and international trademark registration, providing guidance throughout the process and preserving the integrity of your brand as it continues to expand.
