We are a top-tier firm of patent, trademark and design attorneys, providing a robust and broad intellectual property registration service in Europe and the US.
A second-to-none specialist firm.
What I have most enjoyed about working with EIP has been the level of technical excellence and broad knowledge.
EIP is a specialist IP firm with practising offices in the US and Europe, capable of filing and prosecuting patent, trademark and design applications.
Our EIP Square filing system enables coordinated filing in these jurisdictions, improving quality and efficiency.
The client provides an instruction to file in both Europe and the US with an English specification. We docket this instruction on our fully integrated records system, which allows our attorneys worldwide to act as one office.
Our international department processes the application documents, including a review by an attorney with an appropriate technical background. Special reporting instructions are docketed. We inform clients of any changes, recommendations, or requests.
After ensuring compliance with the different US and EP requirements, applications are filed in each jurisdiction and reports sent to the client.
US and EP attorneys work together on the same management system, for consistent, coordinated, and efficient prosecution. Typically, they report separately to the client. However, reporting for both jurisdictions via a single attorney is also possible, where required.
After applications are granted, we can handle ongoing maintenance if the client wishes, or transfer to the client’s chosen annuity service provider.
