Innovations make life easier
and more enjoyable
and make the world a better place.
To get a new idea out into the world, it typically takes a business to champion it. That business might be a start-up fighting for capital to get a first invention off the ground, a company having the courage to do something differently, or a multi-national exploring a new avenue of development. Intellectual Property (IP) provides protection for inventive individuals and companies to build and develop their dreams.
We relish working with creative individuals and companies who are working to make their ideas a tangible reality. We have the technical backgrounds to understand your ideas, and the experience to help you secure protection for your intellectual property. We will put you first. We will listen to your needs and work with you to develop a strategy to set you up for success.
Whatever stage you are at with your ideas, contact us to see how we can help you.
PATENTS:
If you think you have an invention
that may be worth patenting,
please get in touch to see how
we can help you make it happen.
Patents protect inventions. An invention is a useful apparatus or method which is new and non-obvious.
A patent is also a legal and technical document which is used to bolster commercial objectives. Our goal is to make sure that the patent application puts you in the best position to support your business. This involves us working closely with you to fully understand your inventions. We will ask lots of questions to explore how you will actually use the invention in practice, how someone else might use the technology in different ways to get similar results, and how the technology fits in with your business objectives. We believe that a thorough starting of the patent process will set you up for success later.
After filing a patent application, we will continue to work with you as we prosecute the application before the various patent offices around the world where you decide to pursue patent protection.
DESIGNS:
We can work with you to ensure that
the design application filed works
to support your business goals.
Industrial Designs, also called Design Patents, protect the appearance of an object. A design typically protects the aspects which are not solely dictated by technical function, although features which are simultaneously useful and visually appealing can be protected.
Designs can be used in a wide range of fields, from purely aesthetic features of clothes, through functional household items such as clocks and kettles, to industrial equipment such as truck grills and fluid funnels.
TRADEMARKS:
If you have a distinctive brand, a name or logo, we can work with you to protect it.
Trademarks protect brands. A trademark is a combination of letters, words, sounds or designs that distinguishes one company’s goods or services from those of others in the marketplace. They can include brand names and logos.
Trademarks can help customers identify the source of a product or service so that they can buy with confidence. Over time, a trademark often gains value as people associate the trademark with the reputation of your company, as well as with the goods and services themselves.
