Our team of patent attorneys and translators are here to help you navigate the intricated patent registration process in Thailand. Here is how we can assist you all steps of the way, including after grant:
Before grant:
A patent search aims to assess the patentability of the invention, in so far as the state of the art is concerned. We search both Thai and international databases, and provide a summary report evaluating the novelty of your invention against prior art.
If Thailand is the first country where you seek to obtain a patent, our patent attorneys can assist you in identifying and drafting the claims and specification for your patent application. We ensure that your interlocutor in this process is experienced and conversant in the field of your invention.
If you have already filed your patent application abroad and plan to further file it in Thailand, our team of experienced translators will assist you with the Thai translation, as all patent applications must be submitted in Thai language.
Once the application has been filed, we will monitor it free of charge, which may involve forwarding office actions with preliminary advice and reminding you of imperative deadlines, which, if missed, could lead to the rejection of your application.
After grant:
We will monitor your patent free of charge, which involve informing you when the annuity fees are due and forwarding you any invalidation or cancellation action filed against your patent.
Having a patent does not guarantee that your IP rights will not be infringed. You can trust our professionals for all infringement cases, from collaborating with local enforcement authorities to defending your rights in court, during arbitration or mediation procedures.
Leveraging your IP rights might entail licensing or assignment of your patents. We can assist you in drafting and recording agreements matching your business plans and safeguarding your rights.
If your business plans involve commercializing your invention in other countries, we can help you in devising the appropriate strategy to preserve your IP rights. With a wide network of trustworthy associates all over the world, we can handle your foreign filings efficiently.

A patent search (also called a prior art or patentability search) should be conducted to assess whether your invention is truly new and non‑obvious. By scouring global patent databases and technical literature, we identify relevant disclosures and help refine your claims to maximize patent protection. This step is crucial before filing to avoid costly pitfalls and enhance grant prospects. A Freedom‑to‑Operate (FTO) analysis examines whether your product, process, or technology can be commercialized in Thailand without infringing someone else’s patents. We conduct a Thailand‑focused study of live patents and pending applications, analyze key claim scopes, and provide a legal opinion on infringement risks. This equips you to consider design‑arounds, licensing, or strategic market entry – with peace of mind for product launches, investor due diligence, or licensing transactions.
Our team provides full-service support to turn your innovative ideas into secured patent rights under Thai law. For local applicants, we craft claims designed to withstand scrutiny from the Thai patent examiners and maximize your scope of protection. For PCT national phase and convention-based application, we arrange translation into Thai, ensuring every technical term is accurately rendered. Our translators are specialized in patent terminology and familiar with local regulations. Finally, we manage the complete filing process in Thailand, covering first filings, convention-based, or PCT-national phase applications. This includes handling all formalities, submitting translations within required timeframes, responding to office actions, and guiding you through to grant.
We support robust defense of your patent interests by navigating Thailand’s formal opposition and appeal processes, as well as facilitating third‑party observations.
Our patent portfolio management services, audits and analytics, help you prioritize high-value assets, identify licensing opportunities, and prune less strategic patents, to streamline costs and maximize commercial return. We guide licensing and cross-licensing negotiation, structuring royalty terms, sublicensing options, and exclusivity agreements, to find new revenue streams and support collaborations. We can also assist you in negotiating and registering patent assignments. Additionally, our proactive monitoring tracks competitor filings, live applications, and potential infringements, enabling early interventions, enforcement actions, or licensing discussions.
When disputes arise, we deploy a powerhouse team of seasoned litigators deeply versed in Thai patent law, working hand-in-hand with technical experts drawn from academic and research institutions. Our legal professionals craft strategic roadmaps tailored to your case, anticipating challenges and shaping arguments to protect or enforce your rights. From discovery through trial and appeals, this integrated approach ensures your cause is supported by both robust legal strategy and credible technical authority, significantly strengthening your position in high-stakes patent litigation.
For seamless entry into the Thai national phase, we leverage our deep expertise in Thai patent prosecution. Our seasoned translators, specialized in patent terminology, provide accurate Thai translations of your application, avoiding rejection and delays due to formal insufficiencies. With our tailor-made database, we proactively track all key due dates, preventing missed filings deadlines before and after grant.
