Publishing before filing
A conference paper, thesis submission or journal article is a public disclosure. Once it is out without a priority date, patentability is usually lost.
Turn academic work into a protected, citable, commercialisable asset. Individual and institutional government-fee rates, guided drafting, and support that continues after the filing receipt.
Tell us what you have built. We will tell you honestly what it needs — and what it costs.
A conference paper, thesis submission or journal article is a public disclosure. Once it is out without a priority date, patentability is usually lost.
Who owns a student project, a funded output or a joint result? Left undocumented, it surfaces as a dispute at the point of commercialisation.
A patent specification is not a research paper. Claims drafted in academic language rarely survive examination intact.
An application number is not a granted patent. Examination reports must be answered on time or the application lapses.
Natural persons, institutions and small entities pay lower government fees. We claim the correct category and show both figures separately.
We work around your submission dates so protection is in place before anything becomes public.
Registered patent agents draft the claims, working from your data — you stay the inventor, not the paperwork.
We have established 70+ institutional IP cells with policy, workflow and training, not just a nameplate.
IPR awareness programmes for your department, delivered on campus.
