Whether to use the home country agent

Your home country patent agents can represent you in your country only. When you apply for other countries, they must use local patent agents of those countries. Although your home country agents can not represent you directly in other countries, they are beneficial for you. Example benefits are as described below. 

• Selection and contract the agents of each country.

• Accurate communication to you after understanding the information from the agent in each country.

• Accurate instructions to local agents after understanding your intentions.

• Advice from your standpoint.

• Supervision of various procedures in multiple countries.

• After your patent grant, collective maintenance of all your intellectual property rights around the world.
