Design services

Our team of trademark and patent attorneys are here to help you navigate the design registration process in Thailand. Here is how we can assist you all steps of the way, including after grant:

Before grant:

Our comprehensive design search service helps clients evaluate the registrability of their designs by conducting thorough searches of existing registered designs and published applications in Thailand and internationally.
 
We provide detailed search reports with professional analysis to minimize the risk of infringement and strengthen your design registration strategy.

Our strategic filing consultation service helps clients determine the optimal approach for design protection, whether through domestic-only filing, multi-jurisdictional applications, or integrated strategies combining design registration with trademark and copyright protection.
 
We analyze your business goals, budget, and market presence to develop a customized filing strategy that maximizes protection while minimizing costs and complexity.

Our drawing review service ensures that all design application drawings meet the strict requirements of the Thai Department of Intellectual Property to avoid costly office actions and registration delays.
 
We meticulously examine each drawing before filing to optimize the chances of smooth prosecution.

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 design free of charge, which involve informing you when the annuity fees are due and forwarding you any invalidation or cancellation action filed against your design.

Having a design 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 designs.
 
We can assist you in drafting and recording agreements matching your business plans and safeguarding your rights.

If your business plans involve commercializing your design 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.
