Working with Local Associates
Success in foreign IP requires more than paperwork—it demands real insight into each jurisdiction’s legal landscape and examination culture.
Continuation strategies and claim drafting in the U.S. Divisionals and oppositions in Europe. Prosecution realities and enforcement practicalities in China. Regulatory nuances in emerging markets. These are the complexities we navigate every day.
Rather than simply relaying documents, we take the time to understand our clients’ technology and business goals, then craft filing strategies and prosecution approaches tailored to each country’s system.
That’s what foreign IP practice means to us.
