International IP Strategy

In today’s interconnected global economy, safeguarding your intellectual property across borders is not just strategic—it’s essential. At Fidus Law Chambers, our IP lawyers provide end-to-end legal services to help businesses proactively manage, expand, and enforce their intellectual property rights around the world. Whether you're entering new markets, licensing innovations globally, or fending off infringement in unfamiliar jurisdictions, we help you build a resilient, cost-effective, and growth-aligned international IP strategy.

Global Filing & Prosecution

We assist clients in securing international IP protection through established global treaties and regional frameworks. Our services include:

• Filing patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for streamlined protection in multiple jurisdictions
• Trademark filings via the Madrid Protocol, enabling centralized applications in over 100 member countries
• Industrial design filings through the Hague System
• Coordinating national phase entries and direct foreign filings in countries outside these treaties

We guide clients through filing requirements, translation needs, priority claims, timelines, and examination procedures in each country to ensure smooth prosecution. Our experience in managing these international mechanisms enables businesses to secure IP rights globally with efficiency and precision.

Cross-Border IP Portfolio Management

Protecting IP across jurisdictions requires coordination, foresight, and trusted partnerships. Our IP lawyers offer global IP portfolio management services designed to maintain consistency in filings, renewals, and ownership records worldwide. We work closely with a vetted network of foreign counsel and agents in every major jurisdiction to ensure that:

• IP portfolios are strategically aligned with business objectives
• Renewals and annuity payments are timely and accurate
• IP audits are conducted to identify gaps or overlaps
• Rights are properly assigned, licensed, or restructured to reflect global business operations

We help multinational corporations and growing businesses develop governance frameworks for cross-border IP administration, including group-wide ownership structuring, IP holding entities, and inter-company licensing models.

International Enforcement & Dispute Resolution

Effective cross-border IP enforcement is a critical part of international brand protection. Fidus Law Chambers supports clients in pursuing enforcement actions through:

• Cease-and-desist letters in multiple jurisdictions
• Coordination of parallel IP litigation across countries
• Customs recordation and border seizures to block counterfeit goods
• Representation in international arbitration and mediation involving IP disputes
• Coordination with international enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies
