Patent protection for IT solutions

What brought you here?

This site is organised by situation, not by a list of services. Pick yours and we will show the route: what happens at each step and what you end up holding.

Filing

From architecture to application

There is a working solution, but it is unclear what in it can be protected at all.

FTO

Clearance before market entry

We need to know whether we will infringe someone else's patents on the market.

Defence

Answering a demand

A demand letter or a claim has arrived over a patent, trademark or program.

IP audit

Preparing for due diligence

A buyer or investor is asking who owns the code and the rights to it.

Expert work

Forensic expert work

A forensic opinion or a review of the other side's opinion is required.

PCT / EAPO

Protection abroad

We need to decide where to file and how to align it with the product launch.

What we do

Four stages in the life of an IP asset. Every situation is an entry point into one of them.

Identify

Take the product apart and find where a protectable technical solution actually sits.

Protect

A patent, software or database registration, an industrial design, a trademark, or a combination.

Exploit

Deals, licences, investment, due diligence and entry into new markets.

Defend

Demands, disputes, invalidation, forensic examination and evidence of use.

Foreign patent attorneysby jurisdictionNational phases and direct filings: adapting the materials to local practice and corresponding with the office.

Litigation counselby proceedingProcedural conduct of a dispute, when what is needed is representation in the hearing rather than an expert opinion.

Sector technical specialistsby subject areaVerification in narrow fields — from biosignals to marine geophysics — where the findings need sector review.

Patent translatorsby filing languageTranslating applications and case materials while preserving the terminology of the claims.

What this changes for you. The matter is run by a specialist in information technology who understands the substance, not the form.

Sectors

Eight areas where the claim elements have to be pulled out of the product architecture rather than the marketing copy.
