    Comprehensive Overview of Patents and Utility Models

    We protect the value of your creations so you can focus on continuing to innovate

    Identifying the value of an innovation requires much more than simply protecting it. It demands an understanding of the technology, the ability to anticipate risks, and an assessment of its commercial potential. Since 1865, we have partnered with companies and institutions to unlock the value of innovations that have transformed industry and society. That experience enables us to align each technological advancement with the most appropriate strategy.

    We have a team of engineers, chemists, physicists, and biotechnologists who are highly specialized in various technical fields, which enables us to understand the invention and determine the best course of action for protecting it.

    In addition to this hyper-specialization, we offer international operational capabilities, a single point of contact for dealing with any patent office in the world, and proprietary technological tools to manage your inventions in a centralized, coordinated manner with real-time tracking.

    Our capabilities extend beyond mere registration: we provide support throughout the entire innovation lifecycle—from technology watch and patentability or freedom-to-operate reports to technology transfer, licensing, financing, and defense in patent litigation—always within the framework of a comprehensive strategy.
