FAQ

Got questions?

Why should I hire a Patent Attorney?

A Patent Attorney combines knowledge and experience in intellectual property protection, helps select the appropriate protection and procedure, monitors deadlines and represents clients before state authorities. Non-residents may also be required to appoint a representative where they have no legal address or business unit.

How much does it cost?

Fees depend on the jurisdiction and the IP object involved. Request a schedule of charges and specify the country and whether the matter concerns patents, trademarks, designs or another right.

What is IP valuation?

IP valuation determines the monetary value of intellectual property for purposes such as licensing, accounting, transfer or contribution to equity capital.

What is an EU Trademark?

An EU trade mark provides unitary trademark protection across the European Union. EUIPO examines applications, publishes accepted applications and handles registration after the opposition period.

What is European patent validation?

After a European patent is granted, validation may be required in selected EPC states. National requirements can include translations and fees; in Latvia, translation of claims into Latvian and the relevant publication fee may be required.
