Being good listeners and
strategic doers, we will
ensure that your patent
application is aligned to your
IP protection strategy and
key business objectives.

Filing

Filing patent applications across jurisdictions is a significant administrative burden that requires considerable resources for ongoing management and follow-up, expertise with key technology platforms, sophisticated internal processes and knowledge and experience across each distinct jurisdiction. Small mistakes, lapses in monitoring or misunderstandings of process can have serious lasting consequences.

With Platform IP our ability to manage this process in each necessary jurisdiction, with the highest level of precision is assured. From simply inputting a PCT number, to actioning specific and detailed filing instructions, we utilise the latest technology platforms, together with established networks, exceptional processes, and proven experience, to ensure that your application is filed quickly and efficiently, and with the utmost accuracy. With our precisely implemented follow up processes, in depth communication, and reporting back, we ensure that you are always accurately and completely informed about the status and fulfilment of all your filing tasks.

We will guide you through the examination process and manage your patent application in all countries where protection is sought.

Prosecution

Prosecuting a patent application through to grant can be a minefield, with no two jurisdictions applying the same rules.

At Platform IP, we manage the filing and prosecution of our clients’ patent portfolios in jurisdictions the world over. Our attorneys develop and implement strategies that support and further our clients’ commercial objectives, whether through a single application, or by coordinating a broader scope of protection through a more complex IP portfolio.

Our patent attorneys are registered to act before patent offices in Australia and New Zealand, and are experts in local practice requirements and conditions. They also work across international jurisdictions, assisted by a trusted global network of patent attorneys who are expert in their own local requirements, and ensure that the particular rules, regulations and systems of each jurisdiction are adhered to so that we can achieve the best results for you and your business.

With our trusted, dynamic international network of IP experts, our attorneys can take care of your prosecuting needs in the Asia-Pacific, North America, the United Kingdom, and the European Union and beyond.

Throughout the process of prosecuting the application, we carefully consider the potential consequences of each individual action under each jurisdiction’s particular system, and adapt our strategies and advice accordingly. Our attorneys also undertake ongoing professional education on evolving international case law to further guarantee our ability to fully protect you in jurisdictions the world over.
