At IPR Counsels, we understand that securing a patent is just the first step in protecting your intellectual property. To ensure that your patents remain enforceable and provide long-term value, we offer comprehensive patent validation and maintenance services across European jurisdictions.
Our experienced team assists with the validation of granted European patents (EP) in countries such as Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, and Bulgaria. We handle the entire process, ensuring compliance with national regulations, including translations, fee payments, and filings with local patent offices.
Our patent validation services include:
Translation and filing: Preparation of necessary translations in accordance with the requirements of each jurisdiction and filing the necessary documents with the relevant patent offices.
Fee management: Timely payment of official fees to national patent offices to ensure that your patents remain in force.
Document preparation and submission: Handling all administrative procedures related to patent validation, including formalities and deadlines.
Once a patent is validated, it is essential to maintain its protection by regularly paying maintenance (annuity) fees in each jurisdiction where the patent is in force. Our team monitors all deadlines and ensures timely payments to prevent lapses in protection.
Our patent maintenance services include:
Monitoring annuity deadlines: Keeping track of all maintenance deadlines across jurisdictions to ensure continuous protection of your patents.
Timely fee payments: Managing annuity payments for each patent in every relevant country, avoiding costly errors or unintentional lapses.
Status updates and reporting: Providing regular updates on the status of your patents and informing you of any changes in the legal requirements for maintenance in various countries.
With years of experience in patent validation and maintenance, we ensure that your patents remain enforceable and continue to protect your innovations. By entrusting IPR Counsels with your patent portfolio, you can be confident that your intellectual property is in safe hands.
