Patent Registration and Advisory

A patent grants the inventor a temporary monopoly, typically lasting 20 years from the filing date, over a new, inventive, and industrially applicable invention. In exchange for this exclusivity, the inventor publicly discloses the full technical details of the invention in the patent specification, allowing others to build on the knowledge once the patent expires. Patents represent some of the most valuable intellectual property assets a business can hold, providing a legal barrier against competitors copying or implementing the patented technology and creating opportunities for licensing income from parties seeking to use the invention.

Patents can be filed nationally through each country's patent office, regionally through the European Patent Office (EPO) which provides a single application route covering up to 44 European countries, or internationally under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) administered by WIPO, which allows a single application to be filed in over 150 contracting states simultaneously, providing an international priority date while deferring national examination costs. Neptune Fiduciaries Group advises on patent strategy, freedom-to-operate analysis, prior art searches and patentability assessment, coordination of patent filings with specialist patent attorneys, and ongoing management of patent portfolios including annuity payment management and renewal strategy.

PCT International Patent Application

A PCT application filed through WIPO establishes a single international filing date and extends to over 150 member countries, giving inventors up to 30 months from priority date to assess commercial potential before committing to national phase examination costs.

Prior Art Search and Patentability Assessment

Before investing in patent filing, a thorough prior art search establishes whether the invention is novel and inventive relative to existing published knowledge, providing a realistic assessment of the likelihood of patent grant and the scope of protection achievable.

Freedom-to-Operate Analysis

A freedom-to-operate analysis assesses whether a proposed product or process infringes any in-force third-party patents in the target markets, identifying potential infringement risks before commercial launch and enabling informed decisions on licensing or design-around strategies.

Patent Portfolio Management and Maintenance

We manage patent portfolios for corporate clients including annual renewal fee payment scheduling, strategic decisions on which patents to maintain or abandon, and identification of licensing, monetisation, and enforcement opportunities across the portfolio.
