We obtain early certainty
We apply a first-strike strategy towards the patent office with complete and well-prepared patent applications to obtain an early indication of patentability. Our first-strike strategy reduces the risk of unpleasant surprises later and minimizes total costs. It also provides the option of exploiting the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) for fast and efficient patent grants around the globe.
We align the patent strategy with your business
We could prepare a patent application based on purely technical considerations. However, we are eager to know the business environment for the ensuing patent right. The more we understand of your business, the better we can design the scope of the patent to cover your product or service.
Efficient service
Our firm is large enough to handle complex matters and high-volume assignments and lean enough to avoid bureaucracy and maintain efficiency.
Protect your AI & machine learning inventions with patents
Despite common misconception, inventions relating to machine learning & artificial intelligence can be effectively protected by patents. We have significant experience in preparing and prosecuting patent applications in this field. Neural networks are a key growth area where significant value is created. Secure your AI assets before they become public property. Reach out to us if you want to hear more.
Our preferred strategy is to go for an indication of patentability at the first patent office of the first filing, typically the Danish Patent Office. It takes time to obtain patents globally. However, when you have a high certainty of a patent being granted in the end, you can afford to wait. Our first-strike strategy reduces the risk of unpleasant surprises at a later stage and the granted Danish patent signals a higher value of the invention to interested parties (competitors, partners, investors). We prefer to do a preliminary search ourselves prior to the drafting of a patent application. It gives us confidence in the technology and assures us that pertinent prior art has not been overlooked. A more thorough search is performed by the patent office after the application has been filed. A subsequent application, such as a European or international application, is searched at another patent office (usually the European Patent Office). The provision of searches from two different authorities reduces the risk of unpleasant surprises in the subsequent prosecution of the patent application. Thus, it is more likely that the most relevant prior art is identified at an early stage. Another advantage of using the Early Certainty strategy is easy access to the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) that enables fast and inexpensive patents in many countries.
