An administrative department at the centre of Aquinov’s organisation
So that clarity, consistency and prices are guaranteed in the handling of each file, Aquinov has set up an efficient administrative department which is at the heart of its operations: Sylvie Boutier, its head, is the third partner in the firm. With a team of 4 people, effective reactivity and follow up for each of Aquinov’s clients are guaranteed.
First appointment free of charge
Whether it is for patents, trademarks or designs as well as for contracts and disputes, the file management procedure is identical: Aquinov offers you an initial appointment free of charge at its premises, then provides an estimate based upon the strategy which has been chosen during this first appointment. « Thanks to this first interview, we can appreciate the expectations of the client and are able to put forward solutions which fit perfectly with the global strategy of his/hercompany», an IP Consultant at Aquinov explains.
A single advisor
At Aquinov, the client works with a single advisor, an IP Consultant who has :
- triple skills in patents AND trademarks AND designs.
- double skills in the legal and technical fields.
« That said, since the Consultants communicate on a regular basis, another person can take over if necessary », an IP consultant points out.
An in-house drafter
The Aquinov team includes a drafter who reproduces all or some of the drawings provided by the client or reworks them so that they are in perfect accordance with the laws in force concerning the filing of patents, trade marks or designs. This type of organisation deserves to be highlighted since it is rare in IP firms and it guarantees quality and confidentiality.
Examination procedure
Aquinov follows the file from start to finish, right up to the issue or registration of the IP title, and even after this.
- During the examination procedure, Aquinov plays its role as Defender-Consultant, defending the interests of its client.
- After the issue or registration of the IP title, Aquinov continues to accompany the client by taking charge of the annual payments, administrative modifications, renewals and registrations at the due dates.
Correspondents all over the world
Aquinov is able to handle all the procedures (filing, examination, objections and payment of taxes) of all IP titles not only in France but also in any other country.
To this end, Aquinov has a network of correspondents at its disposal who have the necessary qualifications in each country.
Le Conseil
Mechanics
« It is important to monitor the patent situation so as not to develop an innovation which goes against the rights of a third party and not « reinvent the wheel ».
Also ensure that you are indeed the real holder of the rights, especially when you are developing in partnership with a third party or through a third party or for a third party. »
