Outsourcing
Services
We provide a range of services to complement the in-house capabilities of our clients, including:
- On-site consultancy
- Drafting
- Reviewing search reports
- Prosecution
- Amendments
- Oppositions
- Novelty searches
We specialise in the outsourcing of patent drafting and prosecution work. We provide a flexible service to handle overflow work from in-house legal departments and private practice. By providing this additional capacity, our clients can quickly and reliably respond to workflow demands.
We have considerable experience in providing an outsourcing capacity to clients based throughout the UK and Europe. This service is also increasingly attractive for companies based outside of Europe requiring assistance with the filing and prosecution of patent applications in Europe. Our attorneys keep current with developments in European practice and cover a broad range of technical areas.
The service provided can be tailored to match a particular client’s requirements. We can work on-site on a particular project, for example where interaction with the inventors is required or is considered advantageous, or we can operate remotely from our offices. A combination of these approaches often proves very effective.
