We offer legal support for both challenging third-party patents and defending against opposition claims in Thailand. Our team assists clients with opposition proceedings before the Thai Department of Intellectual Property as well as invalidation actions before the Thai courts, guiding them through each step of the process.

⚙️ Recordation & Maintenance

Our firm help ensure patent rights remain secure and in force through recordation and maintenance management. We assist with post-grant formalities, including the payment of annuity or renewal fees, official recordation of ownership changes, assignments, and licenses, to help maintain the validity of your rights in Thailand.

When patent rights are infringed or disputed, we provide enforcement and legal representation. We assist with a range of enforcement actions, including cease-and-desist letters, and provide legal support and coordination in civil and criminal infringement cases, as well as other patent-related disputes before the Thai courts.

🔧 Petty Patent / Utility Model

These offer quicker, more accessible protection for incremental innovations and are valid for up to 10 years, making them often suitable for simple new technical improvements.
