Effective IP protection relies on more than patent and trade mark attorneys. It requires an organised, proactive and experienced administrative and paralegal team, one that keeps everything running without distraction or delay.
Our IP administrators and paralegals manage the essential processes that sit behind every application, deadline and portfolio decision, ensuring that our clients experience clear communication, efficient workflows and complete confidence in how their IP is being handled.
Why Gateley?
Many of our IP administrators and paralegals have been working in the IP profession for over 20 years and have a vast amount of knowledge and experience relating to the acquisition of IP rights in the UK, Europe and overseas.
Our team are proficient at working with sophisticated case management systems, and work in a completely electronic environment. This ensures that all files are simultaneously accessible to all members of the team so that we can respond to your queries immediately, giving you a quicker turnaround and reduced costs.
