Patent Prosecution
Patent Prosecution is not merely a process of interaction between an Applicant and/or his Legal Representative and a Patent Office with respect to patentability of a patent, but, for the Applicant, is also a test
of legal and technical competence that it believes the Legal Representative posseses. Patent prosecution is highly individualized and reflects the underlying skill set of each Attorney
as the prosecution process itself involves high level of technical negotiation and interpretation of specific terminologies with the patent office, which in the end has high-impact value for the client.
IIPRD truly understands the inherent value of a patent and the role played, in the complete patent grant process, by the prosecution step.
IIPRD therefore undertakes preparation and analysis of responses for patent applications and does so keeping in mind the best practices for each Patent Office it prepares responses for.
The preparation of responses during the prosecution phase requires an in-depth analysis of the invention along with the prior arts taking into consideration the patentability criterions.
