Renewals / Maintenance Support

Renewals and maintenance are very critical to keep your IP rights active and enforceable. Moreover they need close monitoring as deadlines of renewals, duration of renewal periods and fees vary. Therefore, apart from tracking and managing deadlines of renewals in a timely manner, updated renewal information is required to prepare a budget for renewal and assess the value of the patent or brand as against renewal costs.

RKS Legal renewal support services include:

• Alerts
  
  
• Renewals
  
  
• Information Support

Alerts

We set up alerts for specific countries where the renewal has to be filed for a particular IP and notify you at specified intervals in a mode of your choice, such as facsimile, email or a final telephonic reminder.


Renewals

Through our network of associates and service providers we can arrange for renewals of your IP in SAARC countries.

Information Support

To prepare the budget for renewal as part of your overall IP portfolio you need the latest information about the official renewal fee in countries of interest. RKS Legal can provide you such specific and latest information about the official fees, for a particular type of IP and for a specified period. Availability of such ready information, customized as per your needs, saves you countless personnel hours that can now be dedicated to more important tasks.

We can also calculate the maintenance cost of a particular IP either for its entire lifetime or a specified period in a country of your interest, facilitating important fiscal decisions to continue, discontinue or license the IP, in an efficient manner.
