Project ID:
681648
Project Type:
Fixed
Budget:
$250-$750 USD
Project Description:
We currently have goods manufactured in China, the manufacturing company has patents on the goods they manufacture in China, we wish to register one or two of their patents in the following countries that operate a 12 month grace period (12 months prior to filing will not be regarded as citeable prior art) from publication of the original patent. (a utility patent would be acceptable)
I believe an assignment document may be required? Or some form of licensing agreement with the originator, if so such an agreement/assignment would need to be drawn up and would be done with the cooperation of the original patent registrant; the application for patents has to be completed before 24th June 2010 otherwise we will be outside our grace period.
We need to know the estimated cost for drawing up the above so there is an agreement between us and the manufacturer allowing us to register their patents with their agreement and for us both to benefit from this, also we need to know submission costs to the various patents registration authorities in the following countries, or would a PCT be applicable here.?
