Unrivalled European reach
Irrespective of your portfolio size, location or industry, our network of qualified European patent attorneys will tailor our extensive range of patent services to enable you to implement your business strategy efficiently and achieve your market goals.
Our attorneys specialise in helping clients to align and deliver filing and prosecution strategies in line with their business objectives, while our dedicated back-office IP support teams take the pressure and risk out of recordals, renewals and other highly administrative tasks.
From competitor intelligence to patent docketing support, our comprehensive approach to patent strategy and management delves into revenue targets, budget considerations, staffing needs and market expansion to ensure your patent portfolio becomes a strategic asset tailored to achieve your business goals.
From prior art and freedom-to-operate searches to patent landscape analysis, we help clients gain a clearer picture of innovation potential in a specific technology space so that they can focus their R&D efforts for maximum return. Our invalidity searching with opinion service adds value to companies by identifying prior art that can be used to invalidate a third-party patent, or prior art that may be used to attack a client's patent rights in the case of infringement actions.
From national applications to international rights, our network of patent attorneys specialises in negotiating the grant of a patent with the relevant patent offices to remove the burden from in-house teams while ensuring that the strength of the resulting patent is maintained. Our presence throughout Europe ensures we can file national and European patents, including unitary patent and EP validations, strictly adhering to set timeframes and formalities, including translations and priority claims to an earlier filed foreign or PCT application.
The annual renewal of patent rights requires both sophisticated technology and a global network of reliable agents. Novagraaf’s patent renewal services give customers peace of mind that their patent portfolios are being safely and cost-effectively maintained. Our experience and global agent network enable us to provide a competitive fixed fee structure for all patent renewals based on the number of cases managed and the level of service you choose.
Updating patent records as a result of IP changes, transfers or transactions can be a time-consuming and costly process, particularly for owners of global IP portfolios. Novagraaf's patent recordals service takes the pressure off in-house teams, while ensuring efficient management of essential deadlines and formalities.
