Although the provisional patent application can be filed without the help of an intellectual property attorney, when it comes to the complete patent application, you must make use of an intellectual property attorney.

With our expertise in South African and international affordable patent filings, we are able to save you money since we are familiar with all the required procedures also for PCT filings and other national filings.
One of the areas where our expertise regarding affordable patent filings is most appreciated is the patent novelty search. For an invention to be registered as a valid patent in South Africa it must meet the requirements of absolute novelty.
This means that there may not be any similar patent application, registered patent or any invention already disclosed, for sale or in use anywhere else in the world.
It is of imperative to conduct a thorough patent search to prevent any future challenges to the patent or even lawsuits for damages dating back to the original filing date.
We conduct patent searches at the South African Patent Office database and for international patent applications will for instance, also handle the PCT patent database search as well as the USPTO database search where relevant.
