The role of patents in business has exploded in recent years, becoming more and more important and subsequently a lot more complicated. Basic maintenance of existing portfolios, highly detailed applications for new patents and the rise of patent litigation all combine to eat into some of your most valuable commodities – time and money.
CPA can reduce your administrative burden by handling your patent renewals, freeing you up to focus on higher value activity. We can manage the renewal of patents and designs in all countries where fees are payable and our service is fully supported by a dedicated formalities team, Client Service Department and data migration team.
In addition to our standard features, CPA offers a number of optional services to meet specific client needs. These include: alternative renewal or payment and accounting schemes, electronic interfaces, restoration of lost cases, and handling exceptions. We are always delighted to discuss specific client needs. However, our standard service options are as follows:
All patent and design cases are renewed automatically unless we are instructed otherwise.
Patent and design cases are only paid if you instruct us to do so, otherwise the cases are allowed to lapse.
Manage your patent and design cases at your convenience using our online portfolio management tool CPA Direct.
