Frequently Asked Questions

What is intellectual property?

Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, including inventions, brands, product designs, artistic works and proprietary know-how. Intellectual property rights help protect these assets from unauthorised use.

What is a patent?

A patent is a legal right that protects an invention, preventing others from making, using or selling it without permission for a limited period.

Why should I register a trade mark?

A registered trade mark protects your business name, logo or brand identity, helping prevent competitors from using similar branding.

What is a registered design?

A registered design protects the appearance of a product, including its shape, lines, colours and surface decoration.

What is an intellectual property valuation?

An intellectual property valuation determines the commercial value of patents, trade marks, registered designs and other intangible assets for licensing, investment, accounting or business sales.

Do you provide ongoing patent and IP management?

Yes. We help businesses manage their intellectual property portfolios, monitor renewals, review commercial opportunities and develop long-term IP strategies.

PRIVATE INVENTOR SPECIALISTS

ON AVERAGE
THIRTY PERCENT LESS

For many innovators and inventors, registering and utilising intellectual property (IP) can be both a first-time experience and a daunting process. With over thirty years of industry experience, we have a deep understanding of the unique challenges, needs, and financial constraints faced by private inventors.

Exceeding expectations at every stage, we provide tailored, personal and practical solutions that help achieve real-world goals and objectives.

Unlike others in our industry, whose primary client base consists of companies and organisations with substantial budgets, our clients are predominantly private individuals. As a result, our pricing is not influenced by market forces, status, or similar factors, but rather by a commitment to affordability.

 

On average, our fees for drafting and filing a UK patent application are 30% lower than those charged by independent agencies and over 50% lower of large intellectual property groups.
