Patents

In order to achieve a successful patenting process, we familiarize ourselves with the innovations you create, we conduct an international search for information about already existing technical solutions and based on this information, we offer patenting strategy solutions. We consult on fundamental issues of protection of innovations – on protection options, protection object, protection method, limitations, choice of territory. We also carry out a feasibility assessment, during which we check whether other persons in the countries of interest do not have exclusive rights that could limit your development or investment plans.
