My experience with Albright IP has been flawless from start to finish. I... have never filed a patent before so I was learning everything as I went along. They have been helpful in every way possible and gone the extra mile to ensure I was kept in the loop and happy as everything was going through each step of the way. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with their service. I had the pleasure of working with Will, Abigail, and Adrian. I would recommend Albright IP to anyone looking to file a patent application.read more

Was a pleasure to work with Will and Melissa on a patent draft and filing.... Will took the time to understand both my software product and the commercial motivations behind the patent filing. They were extremely responsive to questions and clarifications throughout the process (availability isn't everything, but it certainly helps!).They were also very clear regarding fees, and set out a very helpful visual timeline and cost breakdown on the whole patent application process at the pre-sales stage. This emphasis on making sure I understood all aspects of the work, and having documentation to help with that, is something I didn't see with any of the other patent services I was talking to at the time. This clear communication continued throughout our interactions.Would recommend Albright IP to anyone looking to patent an invention. The patent they filed for me was for a software invention.read more

Helpful Tips

Do I have to identify the designer?
It is possible to waive the name of the designer when filing a European Community Design, but you should be sure that you have the rights to the design

GLOSSARY (F)

FAILURE

A patent application for an invention will fail to be granted if the application fails to comply with the Patents Act for any reason.

FIGURATIVE MARK

A Figurative Mark is a Trade Mark, which is composed of figures which can take the form of non-standard characters or a graphic feature in any colour, layout or style. Figurative Marks can include a combination of text and figurative elements.

FILING

The process of submitting your patent, design or trade mark application to the patent office.

FURTHER PROCESSING

Certain deadlines relating to a European patent application, in particular deadlines which have been set by the European Patent Office, may be extendible by two months as of right.

Further processing is available to the applicant only and can be used where there is a partial or total loss of rights. Further processing can be used, for example, to extend the time in which to pay the search fee or filing a response to an examination report. However, depending on what the deadline is, a fee may be payable. The fee payable may relate only to the further processing fee. However, where the request for further processing concerns the late payment of official fees, then 50% of the official fee is payable in addition to the original fee.
