IP Renewal Services

In order for your IP right to continue to be valid, after it has been registered or granted, it is necessary to pay renewal fees at various intervals.

Getting your IP in place is important, but it’s just the start. Managing intellectual property is a vital ongoing task once patent protection, trade mark protection or design registration is in place. And our in-house renewals team can help.

With your IP legally protected, you’ll need to pay periodic renewal (annuity) fees. The frequency depends on the type of IP.

To maintain IP such as trademark protection, you must pay renewals on time. Reinstating lapsed IP rights is difficult at best, if not impossible. Because of this, it’s vital to monitor deadlines and never miss renewal dates. However, doing your own IP renewal (IP annuity) work is time-consuming. And it requires resource that would be better used elsewhere. That’s where our convenient IP management service comes into its own.

Our Approach

Our in-house renewals team actively monitor the status of your IP rights and send reminders prior to the renewal dates. This means you won’t need to worry about monitoring the renewal schedules yourself. You can rely on all relevant reminders coming directly from our team, and avoid the numerous IP renewal scams that operate.

Benefits of using our IP management service

Deciding how to manage your IP is almost as important as your patent protection or trade mark protection.

You could renew your own IP rights. Or, like some clients, you could use a third-party specialist renewal firm to manage your IP renewals, while retaining us to file and prosecute your IP.

That said, if we manage all your renewals and IP you enjoy several benefits:

  • Significantly reduced risk of missed deadlines and lapsed patent, design registration or trademark protection.
  • Reduced requirement to use your own resource for IP management.
  • Easier strategic management of IP with all information easily accessible in one place.

Forget about missing any IP fees

Imagine if you could get on with doing business without worrying about IP renewal, missing payment of a renewal fee, or having to budget time and resource for do-it-yourself IP administration.

Now make this a reality.
