IT and software inventions are a particular strength of FRKelly. Patent law continually develops in this area across different jurisdictions making it essential to get up-to-date and knowledgeable advice.

Implement a patent strategy
Compared to more traditional fields of innovation, the law on protecting inventions that rely on software is especially fluid. Knowing what can be patented in different countries, and just as important, how to write a patent that will give the best scope in all the major jurisdictions, is a highly valuable skill. Our team drafts, files and prosecutes patent applications for some of the world’s most respected software and computer companies and as a result is continually interacting with patent offices throughout the world, allowing us to provide our clients in the IT sector with world-class advice and service. We have particular strength in navigating patent applications which were drafted outside Europe through the European Patent Office to find the optimum claim scope, whether the technology involves software and programming, computer architecture, image and audio processing, data retrieval and storage, encryption, e-commerce, or networking.
We use our experience, combined with your knowledge, to evaluate what protection you might be able to get
Working from your documents and drawings, we create patent specifications that capture the heart of the innovation
Filing the patent application is only the beginning of a working relationship that continues until your patent protection is fully maximised and granted
By understanding your business we can formulate a strategy that dovetails IP protection with your commercial goals
