Our patent department offers clients a superior service across a diverse range of technologies, including Chemistry/Pharmaceuticals, Life Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, and Electronics/Telecommunications. We understand the value that patents give to a company, and are always aiming not only to protect the time and money invested in Research and Development and provide a genuine business asset but also to create a perfect IPR strategy for our client, expanding the value of his innovative ideas.
We believe that a well-developed, comprehensive IPR strategy including timely registration of IPR and monitoring it, not only raises the competitiveness of a company in the market, but also avoids many possible complications connected with enforcement of the IPR in the market.
Our firm acts before both the ROSPATENT (Federal Agency for Intellectual Property, Patents and Trade Marks) and the Eurasian Patent Office (EAPO). We also file a considerable number of International (PCT) patent applications, which are a popular option for our clients to initially pursue patent protection in a large number of countries worldwide through a single application.
We deal with drafting, filing and prosecuting patent applications, as well as preparing and registering assignments and licenses, filing and defending oppositions, and attending to the renewal of patents. The practitioners in our patents group also have significant experience of attending patent disputes at the Chamber of Patent Disputes of the Russian Patent Office, and also court cases. Additionally, we offer a range of advice-based services, such as freedom-to-operate searches, patentability searches, due diligence exercises, and watching services.
