Renewals
Patent Renewals & Trademark Renewals
Renewals are an administrative task required to keep your patent and trademark protection in force. Our approach is to get this done reliably and as efficiently as possible so you can spend your IP budget on new registrations, additional protection, and more robust enforcement.
Renewals are made up of 3 key components:
- Official office fees (PTO fees).
- Foreign counsel fees (Agent fees).
- Service provider fees / Local counsel fees for managing the process if you're not doing so yourself, in-house.
It is critical to ensure that you are being charged the correct official fees, without mark-ups, have transparency in foreign exchange policy and ensure that all foreign counsel and provider fees are disclosed up-front. By doing this you avoid overpaying and unwanted surprises. You can budget effectively and when your invoice arrives, it matches what you expected to pay.
