PATENT Services

Complete Service: INNOVATION + LEGAL PROTECTION.

Girotto knows very well the importance of industrial property and knows that only good ideas guarantee the "delta-gap" making the difference between a company and the others.

An innovative, unprotected solution equals a voluntary gift to competitors, who can exploit the costly development borne by others.

To avoid the economical paradox of investing time and money to favour then who stood looking, a precise strategy of industrial protection is necessary.

But strategy must not be left to chance. It must be conceiver and lead by experts. It takes only an evaluation mistake for years of efforts and/or capitals to vanish in the air.

That's why Girotto avails himself of specialists in the field, who help him before, during, and after the conceiving and reduction into practice of a finished product for every invention of his. These specialists use professional instruments, and the results speak by themselves.

Working with GIROTTO means to receive

• a coordination of the patenting procedures;
• the evaluation of WHAT to patent;
• HOW;
• WHEN;
• and with MINIMUM cost;
• interference opinions;
• suggestions of design-around for competitor's patents.

These and many other patent instruments are at hand for Girotto and his clients. He can offer to the company a complete package, unique in the field: innovation + integrated patent protection.

The company with GIROTTO has the certainty of a solid patent already written and does not bother with the related procedures of filing, both for Italy and abroad.
However, very often the following appear necessary:

PATENT RESEARCHES. They have a fundamental importance, because they allow to

• SEEK COMMERCIAL PARTNERS (to whom can I sell my product? from whom can I buy a competitive one?
• SIMPLIFY THE TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY (is it better to produce something or devolve it to an expert?)
• IDENTIFY THE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD (who are they? what proprietary technologies have they?)
• FIND NEW APPLICATIONS FOR NON-NOVEL PRODUCTS (after substituting X by Y do I create a new market?)
• IDENTIFY COMPETITOR SUBJECTS (who must I defend from? who is imposing the standard? what is the standard?)
• KNOW THE STATE OF THE ART (where do I start from? can I inspire myself from good ideas of someone else?)
• AVOID INFRINGEMENT INJUNCTIONS (what mustn't I do? where is it better to invest?)

DESIGN-AROUND SOLUTIONS. In the patent jungle, as well as not walking on a hidden mine, it is vital to devise an alternative solution.

But it takes knowledge of the patent world to do it, their language, their traps.

Deciding whether your solution interferes with a competitor's patent is a very delicate matter, that must be dealt by an expert. Girotto puts at disposal the experience of his professional men, who know the subject and are able to guide the client for the best and without risks.

COST REDUCTION. Very often the intellectual property is managed by an external office, which costs a lot and can weigh substantially on the budget.

Girotto proposes a revolutionary concept: to help a firm to manage a patent portfolio from the inside. Girotto can let flow into a firm new skills, so the firm can evaluate and manage at low cost to its own patent portfolio, all by itself.

Bureaucratic costs, delays and wastes are cut. Only when needed the resources hit the field.
