A patent is a monopoly right to prevent others from using your invention. This monopoly lasts 20 years from the date of filing (subject to grant and the payment of annual renewal fees). In some circumstances it can be extended up to a maximum of a further five year period.
Because of the complex nature of the patent system and the specialist practices developing in areas such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and computing, specialist advice should be taken at an early stage.Since patents are territorial in nature it will be necessary to devise and implement an appropriate filing strategy.

Trade marks are signs that serve in the trade to distinguish the goods or services of one company from those of another. In essence, anything which is distinctive can serve as a trade mark. Trade marks may be registered or unregistered. Generally speaking registration creates stronger rights by providing an assumption of validity.
