Keep ownership, renewals, evidence of use and commercial priorities aligned.
Establish a reliable inventory
Record applications, registrations, owners, countries, expiry dates, licences and security interests. Register entries and commercial ownership may not match, particularly after restructurings or acquisitions.
Manage deadlines and evidence
Renewals, annual fees, office actions and appeal deadlines need clear responsibilities. Preserve trade mark use evidence, design creation and disclosure records, and the relationship between patents and products. Monitoring alerts require legal and commercial assessment before action is taken.
Review the business case
A portfolio review should compare protection with current products, markets and budgets. We help identify gaps, ownership corrections, unnecessary expenditure and licensing opportunities. Bring register lists, renewal records, licence agreements and details of the responsible teams.
