Handling of office actions that meets your needs
Let us handle all bothersome communications with local agents. Our special staff will flexibly support a process until acquisition of a right.
For example, as for analysis (review) of office actions, you can choose any of the following four choices for each case according to your policy and budget.
01
Analysis by local agents and FIPAS
We ask a local agent who is well versed in the local patent law to perform basic analysis and to prepare proposed response, and FIPAS also reviews it based on the analysis so as to provide a second opinion.
This is a high-quality service used most frequently by clients.
02
Analysis only by FIPAS
Since our excellent engineers perform analysis and prepare proposed review, we ask a local agent only to prepare written response, which reduces cost.
03
Analysis only by local agent
A local agent with a wealth of experience performs analysis and prepares written response in accordance with the latest patent examination system and practice.
If you ensure that you can leave it to the local agent without any anxiety in the policy 01, you can further reduce cost.
04
Analysis and preparation of proposed response by yourself
If you handle office actions by yourself, we submit proposed response that you have prepared to a local agent, and the local agent prepares written response based on the proposed response.
This is the most effective way to reduce cost.
Furthermore, we also prepare translations of office actions in a foreign language as necessary.
