Patent

A patent is a form of intellectual property protection granted to inventors for new and useful inventions, processes, or products. It gives the patent holder the exclusive right to make, use, and sell the invention for a limited period, usually 20 years from the filing date. Patents are granted by government patent offices and encourage inventors to disclose their inventions to the public in exchange for protection.

Our patent services include providing a patent search, patent application draft, patent prosecution support, portfolio management, and post-issuance maintenance. Timing is of utmost importance in patent law. Let us help you find the right way through this process.

Trademark

Trademarks are distinctive signs (e.g., logos, words, phrases, symbols) used to identify and distinguish products or services of one company from those of others. They serve to protect the brand identity and reputation of a business. Trademark rights are acquired through registration with the relevant authority and can be renewed indefinitely, as long as the mark is being actively used in commerce.

Our trademark services often involve searching for any existing and conflicting marks and applying for a registration under the correct filing basis and class.

Copyright

Copyright is a type of intellectual property protection granted to authors, artists, and creators of original literary, artistic, musical, or other creative works, whether published or unpublished. It grants the owner exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, and create derivative works based on the original creation. In many countries, copyright protection is automatically granted to the creator upon the creation of the work and typically lasts for the creator's lifetime plus a certain number of years. However, timely registration provides additional statutory protections.

Our copyright services usually include registration and monitoring of potential infringement.
