Patent Application & Filing Services

Filing a patent application is a technical and procedural exercise that demands careful drafting, strategic decision-making, and strict compliance with formal requirements—particularly where protection is sought across multiple jurisdictions. Our patent filing service provides end-to-end support, from shaping a filing strategy and managing priority deadlines to preparing specifications and coordinating filings in the UK, Europe and internationally. We will guide you through the practical realities of each route, including timescales, official fees, translation requirements, and the steps needed to keep your options open as your commercial plans evolve.

At the outset, we will work with you to assess patentability and to identify the aspects of your invention that are most likely to deliver meaningful protection. This includes considering novelty, inventive step (non-obviousness) and industrial applicability, informed by a review of relevant prior art and the competitive landscape in your target markets. We will then translate the technical detail into a clear, robust patent specification—aligned with your business objectives and designed to support prosecution and enforcement. That is where the skill of a patent application lawyer (or patent attorney) is invaluable.

Our fees are highly competitive. The cost of preparing and filing a UK patent application may range from £2,500 – £7,500 plus VAT. If you just require us to review a specification and file an application, our fees are very reasonable and start from £750 plus VAT + official fees. Costs for other jurisdictions can be provided on request.

FAQs

What is patent pending?

The term “patent pending” is a legal designation used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed with a government patent office, such as the UKIPO in the United Kingdom or the USPTO in the United States, but the patent has not yet been officially granted. It serves as a warning to competitors and the public that a legal protection process is underway, and if the patent is eventually issued, the owner may have the right to sue for infringement from the date the patent is granted. While other terms such as “protected by patent” are often used, the correct legal term is patent pending.
