Restoration
Our specialist team of restoration experts ensures the recovery of inadvertently lost patent rights, delivering a best-in-class service unmatched by most intellectual property (IP) firms.
Missing a patent deadline can be costly, but legal safety nets like restoration and reinstatement procedures exist to help recover lost rights. However, these processes are highly specific and require deep expertise to navigate successfully.
Many firms assign restoration cases to attorneys based on subject matter knowledge, but these attorneys often lack regular experience with restoration procedures. This can lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and even the risk of failing to recover your rights.
Our dedicated restoration team brings together attorneys with unparalleled experience in reestablishment processes. By focusing exclusively on these complex cases, we deliver faster, more efficient, and more successful outcomes for our clients.
If you’ve missed a patent deadline, don’t leave it to chance. Contact our restoration specialists today to discuss how we can help recover your rights efficiently and effectively.
Areas of Expertise
Global expertise
The requirements for recovering lapsed patents or applications vary significantly by country. For example, the EPO's "all due care" standard is far stricter than the USPTO's "unintentional" criteria. Our team has the expertise to navigate these differences and provide tailored solutions for each jurisdiction.

Proven experience
While most attorneys handle restoration cases only once every few years, our team works on multiple restoration cases each month. This depth of experience allows us to anticipate challenges and streamline the process for our clients.
