Considerations of the patent applied for:*

I want to manufacture/market my patent product/process

I want the protection to reach other countries

I don't know how to monetise my intellectual property assets

Probably, you need an assessment of your patent's strength and technological environment.

The most important benefit of a patent is making your economic investment profitable by launching your technology onto the market in the form of a product/process and, in this way, gaining a competitive advantage over other companies in the industry. Let us help you improve your position in a competitive market in the most appropriate way by managing and valuing intangible assets. Fill in your contact information, and we will help you!

A patent is a territorial title that grants its owner the right to prevent others from manufacturing, selling or using the invention in a specific country. However, it does not grant the right to market it, so there may be third party rights that prevent one of the objects protected by your patent from being marketed. Are there third-party patents that may prevent the manufacture/marketing of your product/process?*

Yes

You probably need a Freedom to Operate (FTO) Report to identify third-party intellectual property rights and assess if your product/process may infringe those rights.

This point is very important before the implementation of a manufacturing/marketing process. Would you like us to help you? Fill in your contact information, and we will help you!

More information.

A third-party's patent right is infringed by marketing your product/service only if the patent is granted and in force in the same country where it will be marketed. Are these requirements met?*

Yes

I don't know

If your product/process manufacturing/marketing activity is started, you may infringe a third party's patent, who could prevent you from marketing the product or process as well as ask for compensation for damages due to the patent infringement.

Before starting a marketing process, look for alternative ways or loopholes to avoid infringement of third-party rights. Would you like us to help you? Fill in your contact information, and we will help you!

YES, I ACCEPT that PONS IP can send me commercial communications via email, or equivalent electronic means.

Your product/process may not infringe third-party rights.
