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

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 (H)

HAGUE SYSTEM FOR INTERNATIONAL DESIGNS

This is the system governing the registration of international designs. The international design registration system is administered by the World Intellectual Property Organisation in Geneva. As of 9th October 2017, there were 66 Contracting States party to the system, though the UK is not yet one of them (although it is envisaged that the UK will join in the near future). The advantage of the system is that an applicant can apply for design registration in a large number of countries in a single application, in one language and with one set of fees to pay.

Whilst the UK remains part of the EU, UK residents and businesses are still entitled to apply for design registration via the Hague System by virtue of the EU being party to the system.

HOLOGRAM MARK

A Hologram Mark is a non-conventional Trade Mark, which is formed of holographic elements and characteristics.
