PATENT and UTILITY MODEL
Patent and Utility Model searches
Before filing a patent application, Infomarca offers clients the possibility to conduct a patentability search using the INPI database in order to provide them with a meaningful patentability opinion. While this search is not mandatory, we strongly believe in the importance of performing a patentability search before preparation and filing of a patent application in order to reduce the risk of expending unnecessary effort and resources.
Patent and Utility Model Watch Service
At Infomarca, we take care of the entire patent prosecution process. Our aim is to provide a personalized service by keeping our clients informed so that they remain aware of the progress or the obstacles that may come up in the different phases of the process.
Annuities (maintenance fees)
After the grant of a patent, annuities are to be paid to INPI to maintain the exclusive right on the patented invention. Infomarca manages all annuity payments in order to reduce our clients' administrative burden and keeps patent applicants informed of the progress of the patent process.
