That is, if you plan to patent inventions in the field of mechanics, medicine, software, the availability of patent experts with education in relevant fields is extremely important within the patent agency. Such specialists will make understanding of essence of your invention (object of patenting) simpler and deeper and will provide competent, comprehensive explanations to FIIP experts requests, not only from the legal standpoint, but also in the field of technology.

The patent agency court practice in the field of intellectual property protection.
As a rule, understanding the essence of the registered object, invention, utility model, industrial design and trademark allows to develop a strategy of patenting and further intellectual property rights protection.
Pay attention to the pricing policy of the company:

• Too cheap options are most likely to be offered by companies that do not take responsibility for the registration process, do not communicate with ROSPATENT or charge experts' responses in a separate price list, and submit your application "as is", that is, without an expert search.
• Too expensive options are usually due to the "brand status" or involvement of foreign representatives (the cost of such services abroad is usually several times higher)

2. Number of submitted applications, since the number of obtained patents and certificates is of importance.
3. Promise of 100% guarantee.
