IP Specialists in catalysis typically perform several key tasks:
Patent Searches: They conduct comprehensive patent searches to ensure that a new catalyst or process is novel and non-obvious. Patent Drafting: They draft patent applications that clearly describe the invention and its utility, ensuring that it meets all legal requirements. Filing and Prosecution: They file patents with relevant authorities and handle any objections or rejections that may arise during the examination process. IP Strategy: They develop strategies to maximize the value of the company’s IP portfolio, including licensing agreements and collaborations. Litigation Support: They provide support in IP litigation cases, helping to enforce or defend patent rights.
