Our Difference
High quality drafting and prosecution:
We use proprietary software to analyse the European Patent Register – in addition to improving the quality of our work we can reduce risk by identifying and avoiding issues that have caused others to lose rights.
Quality control is a key part of our procedures – we monitor our timeliness, and our work is rigorously checked for errors before it is filed.
We are always working to improve the quality of our work – we care about every detail. Quality is a journey not a destination.

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

Fixed, transparent fees:
Everyone hates it, but the cost of getting a European Patent Attorney to do something is usually a mystery. We hate it too – so we will tell you the cost of any work we do before we do it. We don’t invoice by ambush.

No alarms and no surprises

We speak human:
There’s no point to automatic jargon packed advice that can’t be understood, and no Examiner is ever persuaded by a bot. Why try to imitate robots when they lack social skills?
We don’t pretend to be machines – instead we work hard to make our work easy to read and to understand.
Clarity is no accident – it takes time, effort, and sometimes multiple rewrites to compose a good sentence. But the extra effort is worth it. The result is that you get clearer advice, and our work is more effective at shepherding applications to grant.
