APPEALS AND OPPOSITION
Our priority when engaged to either defend or oppose a patent or trade mark right, is to acquire a detailed understanding of the facts and the entity's commercial value. Patent Outsourcing Limited attorneys come from many technical backgrounds, and share great knowledge of the opposition system, allowing us to provide well-informed interventions reinforced by sound objective judgement. Prior to launching an appeal we evaluate your position, discuss your objectives and attitude to risk, agree on the strategic direction the case should take, and establish a budget. To develop strong opposition and appeals cases we use a combination of: experience, patent knowledge, commercial acumen, and understanding of the product and market you are working in.
