Patent, Drafting and Filing

Adams & Adams offers an exhaustive patent search, drafting and filing service for both local and foreign applicants and clients who wish to define and commercialise their invention or design in South Africa, Africa, or globally.

Obtaining a grant of a patent (known as prosecution) can be a time-consuming and sometimes expensive process, but litigation (enforcing a patent) can be even more costly. Therefore, careful and expert drafting and filing are essential to avoid mistakes. Here at Adams & Adams, we have more collective experience than any other patent law firm in Africa – particularly in dealing with applications and the defence of patents across the globe. Our patent team can guide you through the maze of patent application facts and avoid potential challenges or objections.
