Turn technology into
an enforceable asset
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.
Decide before you file
01
The disclosure trade-off
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
Global filing cost
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
Defence and offence
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.
Three things a generic patent agency won't do
01
One office
Every IP discipline runs through Team-E — no separate trademark agent, patent firm and domain reseller. One contact, one contract, one progress report.
02
All-in pricing
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
Standing watch
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.
HK · CN · US · EU · JP · KR · PCT
Per-market fee bands, stage-fee structure, registration timelines — every line on the all-in price sheet.
