IP Services for International Associates
At Tomkins and Co. we provide proactive, commercially aware advice to aid you in advising your clients on the best way to proceed with protecting their intellectual property in Europe. More than that, we provide that advice in a manner sensitive to your clients’ portfolio in the broader world.
As a leading firm of European patent and trade mark attorneys, we have many years experience of representing the clients of overseas attorneys in Europe, through the application stage to grant; and post-grant at oral hearings and in litigation support. We also advise on the commercialisation of intellectual property through mergers and acquisitions and licensing transactions.
We employ an advanced computerised docketing system to provide efficient and thorough docketing of cases to monitor your clients’ cases in our care.
We realise that predictability, both in terms of cost and timely delivery of services, is essential to your relationship with your clients. To that end, we aim to deliver pro-active advice to smooth the passage of your clients’ cases through prosecution, and subsequently in dealing with post-grant and commercial issues. Also, we aim to avoid unexpected bills, which can cause friction between you and your clients.
