Innovate, protect, enhance!
Micromechanics involves cutting-edge innovations, often the result of long and costly research. Patents protect these efforts by preventing copying. Furthermore, a patent stops competitors from replicating a technical solution without bearing the development costs.
In a highly specialized field like micromechanics, where R&D investments are significant and innovations are complex and specific, patents play a key role in protecting, monetizing, and securing technological advances.
Patents do more than just protect your innovations; they also enable their valorization. A patent is a powerful economic lever that attracts and reassures investors, can be monetized through sales or licensing, and increases a company’s value. Moreover, in certain sectors such as medical devices or precision watchmaking, holding a patent facilitates the acceptance of innovations by regulatory bodies.
List of services for the micromechanics sector
Innovation detection: We analyze and identify potentially patentable innovations within your R&D projects.
Prior art search and patentability analysis: We conduct searches in patent databases and analyze documents to determine if your invention is patentable.
Freedom-to-operate study: We perform prior art searches and analyze documents to assess whether you are free to exploit your invention.
Patent application drafting and filing: We draft and file patent applications with the relevant offices (INPI, EPO).
Procedure monitoring: We follow up on the application process and defend the patentability of your inventions until the patent is granted, ensuring the best possible protection.
Competitive intelligence: We conduct targeted quarterly searches to identify relevant innovations by your competitors, ensuring your rights are respected and helping you track trends.
Litigation and disputes: Whether in defense or offense, we ensure your rights are upheld. We defend your rights against infringement, send cease-and-desist letters to potential infringers, initiate infringement actions, and file oppositions against competitors’ patents.
