We meticulously handle each stage to offer professional guidance and assistance, protecting your intellectual property, strengthening your market stance, and securing lasting prosperity.
Identify your IP
It is essential to carefully consider the type of intellectual property protection that is most suitable for your innovation. An in-depth evaluation of your business and the specifics of your innovation will be done to suggest the most suitable form of IP protection, guaranteeing sufficient legal coverage for your intellectual assets.
Conduct a search
In Kenya, a detailed search is done in the IP database to confirm that your IP is unique and can be used. This search looks at existing IP rights to find any possible conflicts, which can prevent legal issues and make the registration process easier.
Prepare application
It is crucial to gather all the necessary documentation and details for the application, such as specifications, descriptions, and drawings if needed. Gathering and organizing all essential documents during the preparation phase is important to meet all legal requirements and improve the chances of a successful registration.
File application
The application is submitted to the Kenya Patent Office with all necessary forms and fees completed accurately and promptly. By handling every step of the filing procedure, including filling out the essential documents and double-checking all information, potential administrative hold-ups or mistakes are minimized.
Examination process
The application is evaluated by the IP office to ensure it meets all legal requirements. Cooperating with the authorities responsible for examination and supplying any necessary information or clarification streamlines the examination process.
Publication and opposition
Once the examination is completed without any problems, the IP is made public, enabling third parties to challenge it if they think it violates their rights. Being aware of the publication and addressing any opposition that may occur guarantees that your application is protected and any conflicts are settled in order to safeguard your intellectual property.
Registration and maintenance
If the IP examination is successful and there is no opposition, it will be registered. Ongoing support involves overseeing the upkeep of your IP, making sure renewal criteria are fulfilled, and safeguarding your intellectual property for the long term. This continual assistance is essential for preserving the credibility and effectiveness of your IP rights, safeguarding your assets for the future.
