Service description

This service supports clients in identifying the most innovative and protectable aspects of their products and processes, ensuring that their investments are safeguarded and positioned for long­ term success. We work with trusted international partners to secure patent rights worldwide. Our patent services cover the full innovation lifecycle, from early-stage analysis to post-grant management. We perform landscape and freedom-to-operate searches to assess the global state of the art, monitor competitor activity, and avoid third-party infringement. We also conduct priority searches to ensure safe and effective use of IP rights. We handle the drafting and filing of patent applications before national offices (e.g., ltalian Patent and Trademark Office), the European Patent Office, and under the PCT system. Our support includes filing for plant varieties and pursuing protection in other jurisdictions via foreign associates. THINX provides ongoing support throughout the prosecution process-addressing officiai communications, managing oppositions, filing appeals, and handling validations and national phase entries. We ensure deadline compliance through a robust digitai system. Additional services include licensing and technology transfer agreements, patent valuations, and recordals (e.g., assignments, mergers, name or address changes). We also assist with infringement and validity analyses and offer guidance on developing long-term corporate patent strategies. Our goal is to enhance the value of your IP assets across time and territory.
