What we do / 23

Cross-border protection

A filing and maintenance plan that follows the market, not the map — so that budget goes to the jurisdictions that matter.

International protection is expensive, and the deadlines are unforgiving. Filing everywhere is unaffordable for most innovators; filing in the wrong places leaves the real markets open.

We are not a law firm. We work with your patent attorneys — or help you find suitable ones — to make sure the protection strategy serves the commercial plan rather than the other way round.

What it covers

  • Which jurisdictions to prioritise, based on markets, manufacturers and likely licensees
  • Timing of international and national-phase decisions against commercial milestones
  • Budgeting for filing, prosecution and renewal costs over the life of the asset
  • Coordination between attorneys in different countries
  • Periodic review: what to keep, what to let lapse

What you leave with

  • A jurisdiction plan tied to your commercial pathway
  • A multi-year protection budget with no surprises
  • One point of coordination across your advisers
