We work with a network of associates around the world to ensure that our client’s intellectual property is fully protected, in wherever markets they are interested in.
If you’re an attorney working outside the UK with a client who needs to file in the European Patent Office (EPO) or the UK IPO we’re very happy to work with you to provide a fast and reliable service to your clients.
Our extensive experience as European patent attorneys, dealing with applications through the EPO and UK IPO, allows us to file applications quickly and report back to you in the shortest possible time. In turn you can report to your clients within the time scale that they expect. We will also review applications prior to regional phase entry at the EPO to ensure that they are best prepared for the EPO’s examination. As you may know, the EPO has strong preferences as to how the claims should be structured. If they are not met then the filing fees can rise dramatically - and more work will be needed in examination.
And, if you’re able to brief us in advance, we’ll provide a cost for filing, and guarantee that cost, so that you and your client can keep within your budget. We will also review the text and make recommendations as to how the application should be amended for the EPO. All of that is without any obligation.
Contact us via info@downing-ip.com with the PCT number, and we can take it from there.
