PARTS IP Maintenance Program

PARTS IP Maintenance Program is simple and easy to administer for every client. We will make sure that our personnel monitor and maintain patent and trademark renewal due dates in a timely manner. The IP Maintenance Program includes the following:

• Providing a schedule with a list of the clients’ patents and trademarks, with the initial patent and/or trademark filing and granting dates, the patent and trademark application numbers, patent and trademark numbers, renewal due dates, renewal payments made and renewal payments due.

• Renewing and tracking design registrations.

• Informing the clients when renewal payments are due, irregardless of whether the client or PARTS is making the periodic maintenance fees in order to keep the patent and trademarks in force. Initially, the clients are notified four months before the due date and thereafter, one month before the renewal due date. This reinforces that all fees or payments will be paid timely to obviate any late fees.

• Tracking and making sure that all fees are paid timely in pending patent and trademark applications. Providing a schedule with a list of the clients’ patents and trademarks applications, with the initial patent and/or trademark filing date, issue fee due dates, the patent and trademark application numbers, issue fee payments due and issue fee payments made.

• Any other patent and trademark requirements that are deemed necessary will be forwarded to the clients and/or the clients will be notified in a timely fashion.

• PARTS personnel will constantly track changes related to patent and trademark fees, patent and trademark laws, regulations, processes, procedures and other patent and trademark changes.
