The chances of a patent being granted are strongly dependent on a thorough knowledge of what is considered “state-of-the-art” or “leading edge” in the technical field concerned. If desired, we will conduct a search to determine the relevant degree of advancement before preparing and filing application documents.
If there is a conflict with the subject-matter of a third-party patent application or a third-party patent, on request we will be glad to monitor the deadline for filing an opposition. Furthermore, we will research to what level of modernity/advancement the intellectual property represents with the goal of achieving a partial or complete revocation of a patent.
We offer the monitoring of patent publications of certain companies and / or technical fields. We also prepare overviews of patent portfolios of competing companies.
