Core IP activities: Patents
The patent teams at Haseltine Lake are grouped into 3 broad sectors:
- Electronics and Communications
- Chemistry and Life Sciences
- Energy, Environmental and Engineering Technologies
We have around 30 patent attorneys backed up by a team of trainee attorneys and
qualified patent administrators supporting an incredible array of innovation and
technological progress for clients all over the world.
Our core patent services include:
- Advice on patentability - whether an idea meets the technical requirements for
patenting and, if not, what else can be done to protect it.
- Searching - investigating the novelty of an invention to determine whether related
patents or know-how already exist at home or abroad.
- Prosecution of patents - drafting and filing domestic and international patent
applications and answering objections raised by examiners in the international
registries to secure the grant of commercially effective patents.
- Watching and pre-grant challenges - monitoring competitors' patent applications
and providing evidence of invalidity to the official examiners to block their
applications.
- Post-grant challenges - technical advice and assistance on how to challenge a
competitor's granted patents and how to defend challenges to your own granted
patents.
- Patent portfolio strategies - review of portfolios and advice on international
protection options and opportunities aligned to markets, competitor activity,
commercial IP objectives and budgets.
