Drafting and Filling (Prosecution)
Obtaining grant of a patent can be a time-consuming and sometimes expensive process, but litigation can be even more costly. Mistakes must be avoided at all costs then, and Adams & Adams has more collective experience than any other patent law firm in Africa – particularly in dealing with applications and the defence of patents across the globe. The patent team of Adams & Adams can guide you through the maze of patent application facts and potential challenges or objections.
Adams & Adams offers an exhaustive patents search and filing service for both local and foreign applicants and clients who wish to define and commercialise their invention or design in South Africa, Africa and globally.
Commercialisation
Patent Litigation Enforcement
A patent gives you the right to prevent or stop others from making, using, exercising, offering to dispose of, disposing of or importing your patented invention and you may institute proceedings against a person who does any of these things. The Patent Litigation Group at Adams & Adams has an excellent track record in all forms of Patent rights enforcement.
