    Filing & prosecution: A minefield of hidden costs

    HIDDEN COSTS CAN REPRESENT UP TO 15% OF YOUR TOTAL PROSECUTION SPEND

    As a major part of your IP budget, filing and prosecution generally must be done under both monetary and human resources constraints. Then there is a myriad of hidden costs (both direct and indirect) you may not think are significant, but can put even more pressure on your organisation.

    WHAT ARE THE HIDDEN COSTS?

    DIRECT HIDDEN COSTS

    Overcharges: the invoice does not match the agreed schedule.

    Duplicate charges: being changed for the same work twice.

    Miscellaneous charges: unexpected charges for expenses, taxi rides, conference calls, postage etc.

    Indirect Hidden Costs

    Invoice processing: invoices quickly pile up, and processing every single one of them costs a lot of time and effort.

    International bank transfers: every international bank transfer will incur additional bank charges.

    Foreign exchange: you will receive invoices in multiple currencies, the best exchange rate is not always guaranteed.

    Payment terms: you will not always have the best payment terms, putting a strain on your working capital.
