Secure your technical results
Turn technical moats into enforceable rights against copying and low-cost imitation.
We search global patents and literature for novelty and patentability.
We evaluate novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability.
We choose invention, utility model, or design routes.
We plan filing combinations and jurisdictions around your technology tree.
We identify infringement and freedom-to-operate risks.
We draft the specification, claims, and abstract, and request substantive examination.
We draft and file a preliminary-examination application for faster protection.
We submit product appearance drawings to protect the visual design.
We check technical details and drawings to avoid formal defects.
We secure the application number and follow the examination.
We analyze novelty / inventive-step objections in the examination notice.
We draft responses arguing patentability.
We reasonably narrow or adjust claims in reply.
We monitor response deadlines to avoid deemed withdrawal.
After refusal, we assess whether to file reexamination.
We monitor annual fee deadlines to prevent lapse.
We pay on your behalf and keep receipts.
We check validity, pledges, and licenses.
We apply for restoration within the grace period if overdue.
We advise keep-or-drop based on value.
We record assignment, filing the contract and both parties' documents.
We draft and record license agreements defining scope and consideration.
We connect valuation for transactions and financing.
We assist with patent pledge registration.
We verify title and validity to avoid transaction risk.

We correct or change inventor designation.
We update correspondence to ensure service.
We handle representative or firm replacement.
We archive approved change certificates.
Turn technical moats into enforceable rights against copying and low-cost imitation.
High-tech recognition, grant applications, and financing due diligence all weigh patent reserves as hard currency.
With a valid patent you can claim damages when infringed, gaining leverage in negotiation and litigation.
An invention undergoes substantive examination and is protected for 20 years; a utility model only preliminary examination for 10 years; a design for 15 years (subject to latest policy). Different intensities and timelines suit different technology forms.
Invention about 2–3 years, utility model about 6–12 months, design about 4–8 months. Duration depends on complexity and backlog; filing does not guarantee grant, and the outcome rests on examination.
No. Invention substantive examination may refuse. Utility model and design, though not substantively examined, may still be refused for failing grant criteria. We raise grant odds through search and drafting quality.
Rights must be stable and valid; a utility model, unexamined, faces higher invalidation risk. We recommend a stability assessment for core patents and confirm the patent is valid and unblemished before enforcement.
Determine the type and protection boundary; avoid existing technology and wasted investment or infringement.
Follow invention office actions and utility / design preliminary examination, ensuring document quality.
Assign or license as needed to monetize intangible assets and feed back into R&D.
Weigh examination strictness and timeline against the needed protection strength and time-to-market.
PCT / Paris Convention affect filing route, geographic coverage, and cost.
Multiple patents need a sustained budget; avoid having to abandon them later.
Domestic single-type filing agency, including search, drafting, and filing. Suits those with a clear type and a single patent to protect, proceeding lightly by process.
Portfolio combination plus office-action response plus overseas filing (PCT / Paris Convention), including type combination, responses to substantive examination, and international routing. Suits technology-intensive or export firms building a patent portfolio; an advisor coordinates to lift grant rate and coverage.
No. Invention substantive examination may refuse. Utility model and design, though not substantively examined, can also be refused. We lower risk through professional drafting and search but do not promise a grant.
It undergoes only preliminary examination, weaker than an invention, with relatively higher invalidation risk. For core protection, lead with invention and supplement with utility model for a fast-and-strong mix.
Inventions are inherently long; file utility model + invention together for earlier protection. Used together, they give interim protection before the invention grants. Actual progress follows the examiner's pace.
If not paid within the grace period, the patent right terminates. The technology then enters the public domain and can no longer be asserted. We recommend annuity monitoring to avoid lapses.
