What I do
Conscious Filing
When preparing a national patent application in Russia, I not only handle all the necessary formalities but also ensure accurate translation and propose claim adjustments. This reduces the risk of receiving an Office Action, expedites the examination process, and lowers patent acquisition costs.
Patenting is complex and costly, especially when seeking national patents in multiple countries. Properly formulating the invention’s features, particularly the claims defining protection scope, is vital for a successful examination and future patent defense.
Obtaining patents in foreign countries adds extra expenses, including translation costs for non-native language applications, which can range from 40 to 80% of total expenses, such as translating into Russian, estimated between USD 3,000 and USD 6,500. To translate your application into Russian, you can choose from various translation agencies, including those specializing in patent translation. But the translation cost in Russia will be several times less. However, the lowest cost might not be the deciding factor.
A poorly translated application can jeopardize your investment of time and money. It’s crucial that the translator understands your invention, comply with Russian patent laws, and meets formal criteria.
With my technical and intellectual property expertise, I can review translations, preventing errors that may trigger examiner actions or harm patent enforcement. I offer experience in application preparation, examiner communication, annulment, patent defense, infringement detection, and court proceedings, ensuring a problem-free application stage and future patent protection.
Actions With Filed Application
If you have a Russian national patent application and received an Office Action, don’t despair. Often, rejections occur due to issues with claims, descriptions, or translation errors. Sometimes, overcoming objections is as simple as providing additional materials to demonstrate the invention’s technical feasibility. However, navigating the complexities of Russian patent law can be daunting. It’s prudent to entrust this task to an expert who can comprehend your invention’s essence, address examiner concerns, and provide accurate responses in Russian.
There are other actions you can take with your patent application. For instance, you can transfer your application, update inventor or applicant information, switch application types, or request deadline extensions. Just let me know your requirements, and I’ll do my best to assist you.
Have A Patent? Let It Work!
Even if you’ve already secured a patent in Russia, you may still require the assistance of a patent attorney. Whether it’s maintaining an active patent, reinstating one, registering a patent assignment, modifying the patent owner’s registry, canceling competitors’ or infringers’ patents, or safeguarding your patent in the Chamber of Patent Disputes during cancellation attempts, I can assist with these and other tasks.
I also bring expertise in defending the rights of patented inventions. Filing a patent infringement claim without valid justification not only risks loss but also potential reimbursement of legal costs. To gauge your chances of success, thorough advanced analysis, strategic planning, position formulation, infringement examination, and evidence collection are essential.
