Patent Compliance
Annuities, working requirements and recordals, so granted patents stay in force.
A granted patent stays valuable only while it is maintained. We manage annuity and renewal deadlines across jurisdictions, record changes of ownership and licences with the Patent Office, and advise on the working requirements and compulsory licensing provisions under Pakistan's Patents Ordinance, 2000.
We also advise on freedom to operate before a product is launched, on patent marking, and on the obligations that come with publicly funded or jointly owned inventions.
