Patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets are among the main types of intellectual property that can be protected internationally. Each type requires specific processes and filings based on jurisdictions.
Protecting these assets internationally helps prevent unauthorized use and secures your competitive position in global markets.
The duration varies depending on the type of intellectual property and the country’s laws. For example, patents generally last 20 years from the filing date, while copyrights can last much longer.
Maintaining your protection may require periodic renewals and monitoring to ensure continued enforcement.
Costs depend on the number of jurisdictions and types of protections you seek. While protecting IP internationally can involve significant investment, the value of securing your assets globally often outweighs the costs.
Our firm helps create cost-effective strategies tailored to your budget and business goals.
Enforcement is possible but can be complex due to varying legal systems. Having proper international registration facilitates enforcement through local legal mechanisms.
We assist clients by coordinating with foreign counsel and advising on enforcement strategies to protect your rights.
Treaties like the Patent Cooperation Treaty and the Madrid Protocol simplify the process of obtaining IP rights in multiple countries through unified filings.
Understanding these treaties enables us to efficiently secure your IP rights internationally and reduce administrative burdens.
