Experience behind the work

Experienced work. Personally prepared.

All substantive drafting and response preparation is undertaken personally by a European Patent Attorney who qualified in 1996.

Vertus works principally in mechanical engineering, electromechanical technologies and medical technology. The practice is led by Keith Boden, a member of the Institute of Professional Representatives before the European Patent Office (epi).

01 Personally drafted

The attorney you speak with is the attorney who prepares the substantive work.

02 No generative AI

No generative AI is used to draft the work product.

03 Proportionate fee

A commercially attractive fixed fee is agreed for the defined task.

How it works

A straightforward start.

A short initial review allows Vertus to define the individual assignment, completed deliverable, timetable and fee before substantive work begins.

1

Send the materials

Email a non-confidential outline, relevant draft or drawings, or public application details for response work.

2

Agree scope and fee

Vertus confirms the defined deliverable, timing and commercially attractive fixed fee in writing.

3

Receive the completed draft

The agreed work is undertaken personally and delivered for review or onward use, without generative AI producing the work product.

Clear boundaries

Certainty comes from a defined task.

  • The fixed fee is based on the materials, complexity and deliverable agreed at the outset.
  • The agreed fee covers the particular drafting deliverable and materials identified in the written scope.
  • Any material change to the agreed scope is discussed before further work or cost is incurred.

Where could Vertus add capacity?

Describe the particular drafting or response assignment and timing. A brief, non-confidential outline or public application details are enough to begin.
