It is very important to keep information about your invention confidential in the period before a patent application has been filed. However, this is often the time that inventors are most keen to involve third parties in the development of an invention. We can provide non-disclosure agreements, tailored to your needs, which will protect you during this important time.
We can also provide patent licences and assignments to help you generate maximum return from your inventions, and can advise on the validity, revocation and infringement of patents.
