A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem.
To give yourself the best opportunity for securing the protection you require, the technical and legal content of the patent drafting must be carefully prepared, in order to optimise the scope of protection provided by the claims. We can guide and assist you through every stage in any country or territory.
Inventorship determination is also vitally important for the validity of the rights and Sterling IP can assist you with determining who the inventors are.

Building portfolios and strategies that will assist the right owner is essential in realising the value of an intellectual property right. This includes assisting in optimising the term of patent protection around the technology.
We use relatively inexpensive and creative strategies to deal with problematic freedom to operate issues using the ability to file prior art as anonymous third-party observations. We have found third party observations to be a very useful tool in minimising and clarifying potential freedom to operate issues.
