Things to consider
Scope and jurisdiction
Intellectual property rights are territorial, and procedures vary by jurisdiction. Assessments and recommendations inform a decision. They do not determine how an office, a court or a counterparty will decide. Drafting, filing and prosecution support prepare and pursue an application. Grant or registration depends on examination and is never assured. Representation, hearings and other regulated work vary by jurisdiction and are assessed under the applicable law. Where a jurisdiction requires representation or a formal legal opinion, Horiant coordinates with appropriately qualified patent attorneys, trademark attorneys, advocates, agents or local counsel.
