Lower the cost of patent annuities and patent renewals
IP Pragmatics has teamed up with Swiss-based IPRIS (Intellectual Property Rights Integrated Services) to provide UK and non-UK clients with an alternative patent annuity payment service.
IPRIS offers considerable advantages over existing annuity payment services and has the skills, systems and experience to handle the payment of patent annuities worldwide.
The payment of patent annuities is an important and necessary part of maintaining an intellectual property portfolio. It demands particular expertise and creates considerable work and added expense if carried out directly with national patent offices around the world. Many patent holders therefore, elect to use intermediaries to handle their patent renewals for which that are charged a service fee in addition to the respective official fees.
Make your patent renewal process more flexible
These costs can represent a significant part of the overall patent expenditure. Additionally, most businesses holding patents require flexibility when it comes to deciding on patent renewals and the timing for initiating this process. Such flexibility is not always possible with existing annuity payment services.
