Our European Patent Office representation services cover:

  • Drafting, filing and prosecution
  • Grant and validation proceedings
  • Opposition proceedings
  • Regional phases of PCT and EuroPCT applications
  • Appeal proceedings
  • IP portfolio management (including renewals, opinions and search & watch services)

‘I could tell you my adventures–beginning from this morning,’ said Alice a little timidly: ‘but it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.’
