Keeping your IP protected, year after year

Intellectual property renewal Services

A global service, built around your needs

We manage patent, registered design and trade mark renewals around the world, supporting businesses and attorneys with a flexible, transparent and responsive service. Whether you need day-to-day renewals management, better reporting, or clearer visibility of future costs, we’ll tailor our support to fit the way you work.

Our service includes:

  • Supporting our clients to manage their IP portfolios
  • Payment of patent, registered design and trade mark renewal fees

Reminder

We’ll send you a renewal reminder 28 days in advance, including your reference and a clear cost estimate fixed for that period.

Login

Log in to our online renewals portal at any time to view the renewals in your portfolio that need action.

Instruct

Tell us what you’d like to do – either renew, abandon, or let us continue on an auto-renewals basis.

Confirmation

Once we’ve received your instruction, we’ll confirm the next steps so you know everything is in hand.

Pay

We’ll arrange payment of the renewal fee on your behalf, helping you avoid missed deadlines and unnecessary risk.

Set up next year

Once the renewal is complete, we’ll automatically set up the next one, ready for the following cycle.

Clear, transparent fees

We keep our pricing simple, transparent and competitive. That means no hidden charges, early notice of fee increases where possible, and options such as automatic payment orders and intellectual property renewal decisions made up to a year in advance. The aim is simply to give you greater cost certainty and make renewals easier to plan and manage.

Better visibility and control

Good intellectual property renewals management is about more than paying fees on time. We provide clear, timely information to support better portfolio management and decision-making, including annual statements, tailored portfolio reports and cost forecasts to help with budgeting and control.

A dedicated relationship manager

You’ll have a dedicated client relationship manager who knows your portfolio and understands your requirements. That means responsive communication, practical support and a more personal service from someone who can help you stay on top of your renewals activity.
