For a firm that is outsourcing to the Far East countries such as China, we offer an added layer of patent service. As you may know, patents are country specific in that your patent filed in one country is good for that country alone. For example, a U.S. patent only protects you within the border of the U.S. states and territories. Furthermore, once you filed in one country, you may soon lose your right to file patent applications in other countries. We offer patent filing and prosecution services in the U.S. and the Far East countries. We can apply for patents simultaneously in two or more countries for our clients, thereby extensively protect their inventions. Feel free to check out the rest of this website and contact us.
