Could we expect such a service to be offered in the UK I wonder and to be successful? The question is, I suppose, as patent attorneys, what is in the best interests of our clients: an all singing and dancing specification and claim set that is exceeding expensive, or a quick job done as well as we can within a limited budget, is this better than no patent application at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058786915356669476.post-16306734288730678912013-10-15T14:30:33.540+01:002013-10-15T14:30:33.540+01:00Good point.

That's a lot of assumptions, and I think we need to bear such things in mind when work on cases. I worked for a firm that was sensitive to the fact that when it's name was on the cover of a patent application there would be assumptions made about the quality of the drafting.Sulemanhttp://www.hollyip.comnoreply@blogger.com
