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. Where a jurisdiction requires representation or a formal legal opinion, Horiant coordinates with appropriately qualified patent attorneys, trademark attorneys, advocates, agents or local counsel.
