A patent is exclusivity bought with disclosure. Team-E handles disclosure assessment, drafting, multi-jurisdictional filing, examiner replies and grant maintenance — one window, end to end.
The moment you disclose is the moment the asset begins.
01
Patents trade disclosure for exclusivity — your filing is published 18 months later. If secrecy matters, use a trade secret; if litigation matters, file. The two aren't mutually exclusive, but you decide early.
02
A patent budget can run from tens of thousands to several million HKD — driven by country count, prosecution rounds and technical complexity. Lock priority via PCT first, then pick countries by market value.
03
Patents aren't only for stopping copies — in financing, M&A and cross-border licensing, the portfolio drives valuation. Investors look at patent quality, not patent count.
01
Every IP discipline runs through Team-E — no separate trademark agent, patent firm and domain reseller. One contact, one contract, one progress report.
02
The quote is the final price — official fees and agency work included. Sub-classes, expedites, notarisation, priority claims and renewals are itemised before you sign. No surprise invoices.
03
Filing isn't the finish line — opposition windows, examiner responses, certificate pickup, renewal alerts, infringement watch. We hold the perimeter long after the application is in.
Per-market fee bands, stage-fee structure, registration timelines — every line on the all-in price sheet.
